title: CELSS: possible contributions to earth science program and others.
abstract: CELSS technology, composed of various subsystems designed to stabilize the environment in closed space can be used to construct the Closed Ecology Experiment Facility.  The Closed Ecology Experiment Facility has the character of an Environmental Time Machine.  Many environmental researches of studies will, it is proposed, be conducted using this facility. The concept of Closed Ecology Experiment Facility is described, and several research items related to earth science potentially to be conducted using this facility are indicated.  As an example of the application, an  improved model of climate estimation is discussed.
