Changing Earth May 10, 2010

This new exhibit explores the many changes the Earth is going through, both naturally and as a result of humanity's effects on the environment. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a large-scale image of the globe projected on a fog curtain, with a screen presentation exploring the history of the planet. In other parts of the exhibit, visitors can learn how to reduce their carbon footprints, check out seismographs of recent earthquakes, visit the Stream Table to see how dams and water volume affect rivers and more.
