Development of an environmental prediction capability will require incorpo-ration of additional components of the Earth System beyond the physical climate system. The core elements and expertise needed in this regard include atmospheric general circu-lation models, ocean circulation models, land surface models, interactive vegetation models, marine ecosystem models, atmospheric chemistry models, global carbon cycle models, assimilation techniques for atmosphere-ocean-land, population dynamics, crop models, and infectious disease models, to name a few. The challenge now is to bring these core elements together within a common infrastructure and with a central focus on sub-seasonal to decadal prediction of the Earth System in the broadest sense. Further-more, the prospect of Earth System prediction has unique policy relevance at both the national and international levels.

Martin Institute Professor, Director of the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC), and Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science at the University of Maryland. He received his Ph.D. in oceanography from Florida State University in 1982 and began his professional career that year at the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. He has studied tropical ocean circulation and its role in the coupled climate system. His research on climate variability and predictability has sup-ported a range of international and national research programs dealing with global change and climate, particularly as affected by the oceans. He previously served as a UCAR Board of Trustees member. Among his awards and honors, in 1991, Busalacchi was the recipient of the Arthur S. Flemming Award. In 1999, he was awarded the NASA/Goddard Excellence in Outreach Award and the Presidential Rank Meritorious Executive Award. He is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Compton Verney's Chapel was built in 1772 by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to replace the medieval church that stood by the lake nearby. It has not been used for services since the Verney family left in 1921.
Inside the rectangular room has plaster decoration influenced by Robert Adam's work. The main items of interest are the Verney monuments including a large centrally placed tomb with effigies of Sir Richard & wife by Nicholas Stone c1630. However given the long term disuse of the building most of the monuments have been boxed in for protection. They will remain hidden until funding is found to restore and re-open the chapel as part of the visitor attraction here,
The 16th century glass once contained here was sold in the 1920s and is now in New York. Nobody seems to know what's become of the brasses. They may still be there under all the clutter that the building's mothballed state has generated.
Compton Verney House stands in a beautiful setting overlooking a lake. The grounds were landscaped by Capability Brown who also built the chapel.
The House itself is largely the work of Robert Adam, who in the 1760s who added extra ranges to an existing west range of 1714,
From the early 20th century the house passed through various owners, and after requisitioning in World War II was never lived in again, and thus remained in a state of disuse, slowly falling apart, until rescued and converted into a highly successful art gallery in the 1990s.

The house is now almost fully restored and in use. The chapel however remains closed and awaits proper restoration.

Senior military and civilian leaders visit the 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team's eXportable Combat Training Center rotation June 19, 2014, at Fort Pickett, Va.. Brig. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia, Brig. Gen. John P. Johnson, Director of Training from the Office of the U. S. Army Deputy Chief of Staff G-3/5/7, Brig. Gen. Victor J. Braden, Deputy Commanding General of the U. S. Army Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Deputy Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Adam K. Thiel and other military and civilian leaders received an information briefing about the XCTC then toured several support locations and later visited with troops at different training locations. The 10-day eXportable Combat Training Capability rotation is designed to train and validate platoons on tasks that support offensive and defensive operations under daylight and hours of limited visibility. Units will concentrate on training selected mission essential tasks in a realistic field environment to refocus junior leaders on tactical field craft. The Army National Guard’s XCTC program provides an experience similar to a Combat Training Center to Guard Soldiers at a home station training center, minimizing cost and time away from home and jobs. XCTC is an instrumented field training exercise designed to certify unit proficiency in coordination with First Army. (Photo by Cotton Puryear, Virginia National Guard Public Affairs)

Croome Court is a mid-18th-century Neo-Palladian mansion surrounded by extensive landscaped parkland at Croome D'Abitot, near Pershore in south Worcestershire, England. The mansion and park were designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown for the 6th Earl of Coventry, and were Brown's first landscape design and first major architectural project. Some of the mansion's rooms were designed by Robert Adam.
The mansion house is owned by Croome Heritage Trust, and is leased to the National Trust which operates it as a tourist attraction. The National Trust owns the surrounding parkland, which is also open to the public.

Stowe landscape garden is most notably the work of two people: Lord Cobham and his nephew, Earl Temple. At one time this family was once richer than the king. The Temple family spent a fortune creating and extending the garden to further their political ambitions. Stowe was 'Capability' Brown's first major commission. Stowe reached its social peak in 1822 when Richard Temple was created 1st Duke of Buckingham, but by this time his and his ancestors extravagence had taken the family to the brink of financial ruin with debts of more than £1 million. The 2nd Duke fled and the scandel rocked the English aristocracy.
Stowe was rescued in 1922, when it was turned into a school.
Sheffield Park Garden is an informal landscape garden five miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex, England. It was originally laid out in the 18th century by Capability Brown, and further developed in the early years of the 20th century's by its then owner, Arthur Gilstrap Soames. It is now owned by the National Trust.
History[edit]
The gardens originally formed part of the estate of the adjacent Sheffield Park House, a gothic country house, which is still in private ownership. It was also firstly owned by the West Family and later by the Soames family until in 1925 the estate was sold by Arthur Granville Soames, who had inherited it from his childless uncle, Arthur Gilstrap Soames.
Sheffield Park as an estate is mentioned in the Domesday Book. In August 1538, Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, entertained Henry VIII here. By 1700, the Deer Park had been partially formalised by Lord De La Warr who planted avenues of trees radiating from the house and cleared areas to establish lawns. In the late 1700s, James Wyatt remodelled the house in the fashionable Gothic style and Capability Brown was commissioned to landscape the garden. The original four lakes form the centrepiece. Humphry Repton followed Brown in 1789–1790. In 1796, the estate was sold to John Holroyd, created Baron Sheffield in 1781. It is particularly noted for its plantings of trees selected for autumn colour, including many Black Tupelos.
Rhododendron in Sheffield Park Garden
By 1885, an arboretum was being established, consisting of both exotic and native trees. After Arthur Gilstrap Soames purchased the estate in 1910, he continued large-scale planting. During World War II the house and garden became the headquarters for a Canadian armoured division, and Nissen huts were sited in the garden and woods. The estate was split up and sold in lots in 1953. The National Trust purchased approximately 40 ha in 1954, now up to 80 ha with subsequent additions. It is home to the National Collection of Ghent azaleas.
In 1876 the third Earl of Sheffield laid out a cricket pitch. It was used on 12 May 1884 for the first cricket match between England and Australia.[1] The Australian team won by an innings and 6 runs

The nuclear capability of the B.2 was also improved compared to the B.1. Two nuclear weapons (Yellow Sun and Red Beard) could be carried. Even with the B.2's improvements, however, the delivery of free-fall nuclear weapons into the increasingly deadly defences of the Soviet Union was becoming far too dangerous a proposition. - See more at: www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/vulcan/history.php#sthas...

Trentham Gardens are formal Italianate gardens, and an English landscape park in Trentham. They were designed as a serpentine park by Capability Brown from 1758 onwards, overlying an earlier formal design attributed to Charles Bridgeman. However, in the twentieth century Trentham Gardens was principally known for the surviving formal gardens laid out in the 1840s by Sir Charles Barry.
At the centre of the estate is the mile-long Capability Brown designed, Trentham Lake.
