Guest Scientist: Dr. Robin Bell—"Digging Up the Dirt on the Hudson River"First in this two-part program, we will learn how Dr. Bell and her colleagues have used modern investigative methods to reveal secrets of the Hudson River, flowing majestically at the base of the cliffs on which the Lamont-Doherty campus sits. Their studies have uncovered much about the geologic history of the river, as well as provided great insights about how to handle the pollutants that have been dumped into it. You can learn more about this Hudson River Research at http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/programs/index.html and "Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) Data Resources"
Joe Schumacher CIESIN is the Center for International Earth Science Information Network of Columbia University. Our focus is on the impacts of human activities on the environment, and how environmental change affects society. This talk will present ways to access and utilize CIESIN’s data sets, visualization tools, and educational resources for teaching about the human dimensions of global environmental change. I'll present resources that can be used to study issues on the local, national and international level.
