created
to
be
a
resource
for
helping
to
understand
stratospheric
ozone.
The
instruments
aboard
the
Upper
Atmosphere
Research
Satellite
(UARS)
and
their
measurements
are
described
in
the
video
and
how
they
help
in
studying
humankind's
influence
on
ozone.
The
UARS
satellite
was
launched
in
1991
and
completed
its
mission
in
2005.
The
satellite
was

In
this
lecture,
an
anthropologist
reveals
how
a
seven-million-year-old
skull
found
in
Chad,
Africa
in
the
summer
of
2002,
caused
many
long-held
scientific
beliefs
to
be
called
into
question.
Fossils
are
the
keys
scientists
use
to
unlock
the
mysteries
of
human
origins.
Skull
fossils
in
particular
hold
a
wealth
of
information.
By
examining
facial
features
and

lecture,
an

charts
the
social
and
ecological
histories
of
New
England
based
on
the
writings
of
Henry

By
the
1840's,
when
Thoreau,
the
philosopher-author
of
Walden,
moved
to
the
Massachusetts
woods
and
erected
his
small
cabin,
New
England
had
already
been
transformed
into
a
patchwork
of
agricultural
fields
and
small
woodlots.
Indeed,

features
scientists
who
examine
the
unusually
high
mortality
rate
of
sugar
maple
and
red
spruce
trees
as
a
means
of
illuminating
broader
issues
affecting
forests
of
the
Northeastern
United
States.
The
scientists
discuss
the
decline
of
these
species
and
whether
it
is
a
local
phenomenon,
or
if
it
is
indicative
of
larger
regional-scale
disturbances.
