Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
(Berkeley Lab) has been a leader in science and engineering
research for more than 70 years. Located on a 200-acre site in the
hills above the University of California's Berkeley campus,
adjacent to the San Francisco Bay, Berkeley Lab holds the
distinction of being the oldest of the U.S. Department of Energy's
National Laboratories. The Lab is managed by the University of
California, operating with an annual budget of more than $500
million (FY2004) and a staff of about 3,800 employees, including
more than 500 students. Berkeley Lab conducts unclassified research
across a wide range of scientific disciplines with key efforts in
fundamental studies of the universe; quantitative biology;
nanoscience; new energy systems and environmental solutions; and
the use of integrated computing as a tool for discovery. It is
organized into 17 scientific divisions and hosts four DOE national
user facilities.
Mission
LBL's role is to serve the nation and its
scientific, educational, and business communities through research
and development in the energy, life and general sciences, and to
develop productive relationships between LBL research programs and
industry.

P: 510.486.4773Security Clearance : Non Security LabSquare Footage: 0 The Advanced Light Source (ALS), a world leader in soft x-ray science, generates light in the wavelengths needed for examining the atomic and electronic structure of matter. These two kinds of structure determine nearly all the commonly observed properties of matter, such as strength, chemical reactivity, thermal and electrical conductivity, and magnetism. A clearer understanding of atomic and electronic structure is the first step toward eventually designing new materials that better serve society, such as more compact electronics, more effective medicines, and more efficient solar cells.

With heavily instrumented field sites around the globe, the ARM Climate Research Facility provides the world's most comprehensive outdoor laboratory and data archive for research related to atmospheric processes that affect Earth's climate system. The ARM Facility provides continuous data collections from fixed locations as well as sponsoring mobile and aerial facility deployments in under-sampled regions. ARM hosts on average more than 40 field campaigns a year and has over 6000 registered users at the ARM Data Archive from nearly every state and from more than 30 countries. Data from ARM are cited in approximately 200 journal articles per year. Nine U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories share the responsibility of managing and operating the facility in support of the DOE mission to provide for the energy security of the nation.
