Premiering February 15-17, 2006
A changing kaleidoscope of active geological
processes has attracted researchers to Yellowstone
for over 100 years. Although early scientific expeditions
used wooden boats and compasses, while modern researchers
employ remote operated vehicles and GPS, both have
focused on solving scientific mysteries in this
vast living laboratory. Take a glimpse of the inside
plumbing system of Old Faithful Geyser, examine
the spires that sit deep in Yellowstone Lake, and
learn how a process called tomography is being used
to reconstruct geologic images of what lies beneath
the surface of the ground. Animations, illustrations,
and video footage reveal Yellowstone as you’ve
never seen it before!
Ask an Expert Message Board
Resource experts will be available to answer questions
February 15-17, 2006. Questions and answers will
remain accessible after the message board has been
deactivated.
