GLAS (the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System) is the first laser-ranging (lidar) instrument for continuous global observations of Earth, which will make unique atmospheric observations as an important component of the ESE climate change program. GLAS is a facility instrument designed to measure ice-sheet topography and associated temporal changes, cloud and atmospheric properties.and give us information on the height and thickness of radiatively important cloud layers which is needed for accurate short term climate and weather prediction. In addition, operation of GLAS over land and water will provide along-track topography.

The Developing Science and Technologies List (DSTL) is a compendium of scientific and technological capabilities being developed worldwide that have the potential to significantly enhance or degrade US military capabilities in the future. It includes basic research, applied research and advanced technology development.
ilkerson says that most traditional assessments take less than four hours. LENABaby, in contrast, considers a full day of activities in the child's natural environment. Traditional assessments can be done in the child's home, but this often involves multiple video cameras and lights, which can influence the child's behavior.
