'''[[Environmental informatics]]''' ('''EI''') is a developing field of science that applies [[information]] processing, management, and sharing strategies to the interdisciplinary field of environmental science. Applications include the integration of information and knowledge, the application of computational intelligence to environmental data, and the identification of the environmental impacts of information technology. EI helps scientists define information processing requirements, analyze real-world problems, and solve those problems using informatics methodologies and tools.
'''The [[American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board]]''' ('''ASCLD/LAB''') is a Missouri-based not-for-profit that "offers voluntary accreditation to public and private crime laboratories" around the world.


As EI has continued to evolve, several other definitions have been offered over the years. Some consider it "an emerging field centering around the development of standards and protocols, both technical and institutional, for sharing and integrating environmental data and information." Others consider it the application of "[r]esearch and system development focusing on the environmental sciences relating to the creation, collection, storage, processing, modelling, interpretation, display and dissemination of data and information."

Day 253 - West Midlands Police - Forensic Science Lab (7969822920).jpg

The American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB) is a Missouri-based not-for-profit that "offers voluntary accreditation to public and private crime laboratories" around the world.

The main objectives of the ASCLD/LAB are:

  1. To improve the quality of laboratory services provided to the criminal justice system.
  2. To adopt, develop and maintain criteria which may be used by a laboratory to assess its level of performance and to strengthen its operation.
  3. To provide an independent, impartial, and objective system by which laboratories can benefit from a total operational review.
  4. To offer to the general public and to users of laboratory services a means of identifying those laboratories which have demonstrated that they meet established standards. (Full article...)
