Exploratorium Senior Scientist Paul Doherty will examine the data and tell us what new information we've gained about Mars. We'll also get an update on our old friends, the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity! Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:30:01 +0100 http://www.exploratorium.edu/webcasts/index.php Alaska's coastal range is covered in literally thousands of thaw lakes. Ken Hinkel, Yongwei Sheng and John Lenters are embarking on a project to reveal the subtle energy dynamics that take place within these lake systems. Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:30:01 +0100 http://www.exploratorium.edu/webcasts/index.php Join us as we celebrate the beginning of summer in the Arctic and the long, cold winter in Antarctica. We'll connect live to two polar field sites: Summit Camp atop Greenland's vast ice sheet, where the sun will be shining 24 hours a day, and the South Pole Research Station, now in the middle of 6 months of darkness. Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:30:01 +0100 http://www.exploratorium.edu/webcasts/index.php Dr. Jewel Bennett, an endangered species biologist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Fairbanks field office, is in Barrow leading a survey team tracking the endangered Steller's and Spectacled Eiders' populations.

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:30:01 +0100 http://www.exploratorium.edu/webcasts/index.php Amanda Grannas' research group at Villanova University studies a wide range of topics under the umbrella of "analytical environmental chemistry", including the impacts of pollutants in the snow and ice. We'll chat with Amanda about her current research in the Arctic. Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:30:01 +0100 http://www.exploratorium.edu/webcasts/index.php Join us for this special Webcast from Summit Camp, which sits atop nearly 2 miles (about 3200 m) of ice on the Greenland ice cap. We'll talk with Zoe Courville, an Ice Stories blogger and snow researcher from the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab, about life on top of an ice sheet. She'll also discuss her research into how snow becomes glaciers. Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:30:01 +0100 http://www.exploratorium.edu/webcasts/index.php Dr. Vladimir Romanovsky is researching permafrost geophysics: the relationship between the frozen ground (permafrost) and climate.
