Antarctica and Long Island Sound
Our web conference went well today - it was fun listening to Dr. Steven Pekar describe the forams he studies and what it is like living on a ship. Hopefully we will do it again with other classes. This Thursday, Soundwaters educators will be coming to the class to discuss the Long Island Sound watershed and how to test the waters of the Sound. I believe it is important to keep in touch with science agencies to see how the research will help us lead better lives. Tuesday's conference was sponsored by NASA (via US Satellite Laboratory) and IODP (Integrated Ocean Drilling Project), and Thursday's work will be through Soundwaters and NOAA funding. What can you tell me about some of the work that these agencies do?

I was lucky enough to be part of the call confrence. I learned a lot of things about what they do on the ship. We even got to ask them a few questions, which was really cool. One thing that interested me was how there is tree pollen on the bottom of the sea, because water never used to be there. It used to be green grass with trees, and it stayed there ever since. I was very suprised by this. I enjoyed this conference.
