Observatory
(NeMO)
is
a
seafloor
observatory
off
the
coast
of
Oregon,
which
studies
the
relationships
between
submarine
volcanic
events
and
the
chemistry
and
distribution
of
hydrothermal
vents
and
the
biologic
communities
that
depend
on
them.
The
research
activities
at
NeMO
provide
an
extraordinary
educational
opportunity,
both
from

takes
you
to

range
in
age
from
1
to
5
million
years
and
contain
the
abundant
remains
of
mollusks,
whales,
birds,

The
rocks
of
the
Mohawk
and
Hudson
Valleys
of
upstate
New
York
tell
a
fascinating
story,
both
through
the
rock
layers
themselves,
as
well
as
the
life
contained
within
them.
Each
individual
outcrop,
while
interesting
in
many
ways,
pales
in
comparison
to
the
story
that
unfolds
when
many
of
the
units
are
compared
and
contrasted
regionally.
What
comes
to
the
surface
is
a
story
of
tropical
seas,

For
those
interested
in
natural
history,
there
are
few
places
quite
as
facinating
as
the
Galapagos.
The
intention
of
this
web
site
is
to
provide
information
on
the
Galapagos
Islands
to
both
scientists
and
non-scientists
alike.
While
the
emphasis
of
this
web
site
is
on
geology,
Galapagos
wildlife
is
difficult
to
ignore,
so
you
will
find
many
images
and
observations
on
biology,
as
well
as

This trip will take you through one of the world's best exposures of oceanic lithosphere (ophiolite). It begins in the mantle (peridotite) and works upward to pillow basalts and overlying sediments. A general overview of the formation and interpretation of an ophiolite is provided as background material to the specific examples found at the Smith River location in northern California.
