<b>Jim Anderson</b>, Harvard University<br>
<i>Lasers, Chemistry and Climate: New Developments in Fiber Lasers, High
Finesse Cavities and Robotic Aircraft<br>
</i>The physical, chemical and biological processes that establish the
Earth's climate state represent a coupled system that is amenable to
modern methods in lasers, optics, and new observational strategies.
Recent developments in miniaturized, solid state laser architectures,
cavity designs and high accuracy interferometry are reviewed in the
context of climate mechanisms and the mathematics of climate forecast
testing.<br><br>
