340 presents the broad fields and their associated detailed fields, together with illustrative
disciplines within detailed fields.
The illustrative disciplines are intended to be guidelines, not sharp definitions; they
represent examples of disciplines generally classified under each detailed field. A
discipline under one detailed field may be classified under another detailed field when the
major emphasis is elsewhere. Research in biochemistry, for example, might be reported as
biological, agricultural, or medical, depending on the focus of the project. Human
biochemistry would be classified under biological, but animal biochemistry or plant
biochemistry would fall under agricultural. In no case is the research reported under more
than one field. No double counting is intended or allowed.
a. Environmental sciences (terrestrial and extraterrestrial) are, with the exception of
oceanography, concerned with the gross nonbiological properties of the areas of the
solar system that directly or indirectly affect human survival and welfare. Obligations
for studies pertaining to life in the sea or other bodies of water are reported as support
of oceanography and not biology. Environmental sciences comprises the detailed fields
of atmospheric sciences, geological sciences, oceanography, and environmental sciences
nec. Examples of disciplines in these detailed fields are as follows:
Atmospheric sciences: aeronomy, extraterrestrial atmospheres, meteorology, solar
science, weather modification
Geological sciences: engineering geophysics, general geology, geodesy and gravity,
geomagnetism, hydrology, inorganic geochemistry, isotopic geochemistry, laboratory
geophysics, organic geochemistry, paleomagnetism, paleontology, physical geography
and cartography, seismology
Oceanography: biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, marine geophysics,
physical oceanography
Environmental sciences nec
b. Life sciences is concerned with the scientific study of living organisms and their
systems. It comprises five detailed fields: agricultural sciences, biological sciences
(excluding environmental biology), environmental biology, medical sciences, and life
sciences nec. Examples of the disciplines in these detailed fields are as follows:
Agricultural sciences: agronomy, animal sciences, food science and technology, fish and
wildlife, forestry, horticulture, phytopathology, phytoproduction, plant sciences, soils
and soil science, general agriculture, other agriculture nec
Biological sciences (excluding environmental biology): anatomy, biochemistry, biology,
biometry and biostatistics, biophysics, botany, cell biology, entomology and parasitology,
genetics, microbiology, neuroscience (biological), nutrition, physiology, zoology, other
biological sciences nec
Environmental biology: ecosystem sciences, evolutionary biology, limnology,
physiological ecology, population and biotic community ecology, population biology,
systematics, other environmental biology nec
