Hawaii's Kilauea volcano is one of the best places on Earth to study processes within basaltic volcanoes. Its high eruption frequency, easy access to lavas, and distinct geologic setting far from plate boundaries or continents allow researchers to address fundamental problems related to active volcanoes. Another constant at Kilauea, besides the flowing lava, has been University of Hawaii geologist Mike Garcia. With support from the National Science Foundation, Garcia has been leading studies of Kilauea for a generation, adding to the extensive knowledge base on this volcano. Two of the primary goals are to determine what has triggered Kilauea’s effusive, explosive cycles over the last 2200 years and when long eruptions, such as the current one, will stop. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
How could a body of water as big as the Mediterranean Sea just disappear? It would take decades and more than a 1,000 research studies to even start to figure out all the possible causes of one of the greatest vanishing acts in Earth’s history. Part of the "Eons" series.
When well-mannered Elliot reluctantly visits the aquarium with his distractible father, he politely asks whether he can have a penguin. Then he removes one from the penguin pool and places it into his backpack. The fun of caring for a penguin in a New England Victorian house is followed by a surprise revelation by Elliot's father. Based on the book by Toni Buzzeo and David Small.
Provides an overview of all the stages to ensure a kitten grows up to become a happy, healthy, and much-loved addition to a family. Cats have an extra sense organ, and they can actually "taste" smell. In relation to their body size, cats have the largest eyes of any mammal. The cat's grace and beauty have inspired artists since ancient times. By Victorian times they became pampered pets. Cats are loving and affectionate but have an independent character that guarantees them a special place in the hearts of their caregivers. NOTE: Bonus material follows main feature.
