| - Global Dynamics, also known as the Eureka Advanced Research Facility, is a fictional organization on the American science fiction drama Eureka.
- Global Dynamics is described in the pilot as being responsible for the development of all major technological breakthroughs in the last 50 years, with the products of its research having been used in both commercial and military applications. Security is understandably tight at the facility; Allison Blake describes the cloaking forcefields and other safeguards as being so cutting-edge that "Area 51 wishes they had our security." Global Maintains an EM field around its perimeter 24/7. The EM field is so no one can hack into the main server. The only entrance seen so far is down a path which leads to a rickety old bridge. Once you drive onto the bridge you pass through some holographic barrier onto a road leading up to global. It is assumed that there are more entrances that have not been shown yet. The facility is broken into several departments, or "sections." Known sections include: Section 2: Quantum Frequency Project (Phased and Confused) Section 3: Records, and Primate Studies (Unpredictable) Level 4: Fargo's first office (Dr Nobel), EM barrier control room Section 5: Military Technology Section 7: Air defense (Bad to the Drone) Section 8: Technology that could allow travel between parallel worlds (Games People Play) Section 14: Nuclear Testing (Try, Try Again) Lab 27 : Biosphere Bottom Floor: Non-realiatic fusion reactor (setup and ability to overheat are more conceivable with a fission reactor) On top of the complex is an astrospectrometer, which takes pictures of celestial objects. There has to be an enormous flash from the camera to penetrate the EM field. Upon entrance through the main doors into the lobby, Allison Blake's office (formerly Stark's) is immediately visible as well as a highly secure elevator system leading to section 5. Though section 5 is the most secure section at Global, it is widely known of and even Sheriff Jack Carter has gone down there. Non-classified prototypes are stored in the vault, a giant cylinder in section 3 with shelves and cat walks lining the walls. Though the vault itself is highly secure, the objects are not and just sit arranged on shelves, even though unclassified items are potentially dangerous. Global Dynamics is the dominant employer in Eureka, almost to the point of monopoly, and hence Eureka is effectively a company town. So pervasive is Global Dynamics' influence over Eureka that most in the town just call it "Global" or "GD" in conversation. The abbreviation "GD" is also often used as a substitute for the curse "God Damned".
