Paros-PGI Observatory
Technical & Innovation Center [OTIC]
While there has been tremendous progress in
learning of the state and workings of our world, great discoveries
await the innovative application of new technologies. Today
we require more quantitative observations of the forces governing
earth processes; we need to observe in more detail the spatial
and temporal scales of variability, and we urgently must gather
information of our changing environment. The Observatory Technical
and Innovation Center (OTIC) is established to strengthen
observation-based research at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
by increasing the Institutional capacity to design, develop,
and utilize innovative field and laboratory instrumentation.
