This is the drainage divide between the north flowing St. Lawrence and south flowing Susquehanna rivers. The moraines (thick black line) are conspicuous on the floors of the many through valleys, but are rare and incomplete over the adjacent uplands. The topography shows the “unroofed ants’ nest” configuration of valleys in the Appalachian Plateau, attributed to glacial erosion.

Maple syrup, beloved by many of us on our pancakes, comes from extracting sap from sugar maple trees and then boiling it. Tapping sugar maples does not damage the trees when done properly, so sugar maple trees can produce sap for boiling for many decades. But a changing climate is likely to bring changes to what is an almost $30 million dollar industry in New York State. Sap flows through sugar maple trees when the weather goes through a freeze-thaw cycle with very cold nights and daytime temperatures above freezing. Traditionally, maple sugaring season in New York State has started in late winter to early spring, but as New York winters are warming this season is projected to shift earlier—by 15 to 30 days by the end of the 21st century. Climate change may also affect the health of sugar maple trees. Research into this is ongoing, but studies have shown that reduced snowpack—which is projected with warmer winters—can lead to root damage and reduce the growth of tree shoots. The ideal habitat for sugar maples is expected to shift northward as the climate warms, although recent research suggests that the northern limit of where the trees can thrive may be constrained by soil chemistry and fungi and microorganisms found in northern soils. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/38423c02-6469-4ac2-8a1d-fce8f367af9d/sugar+maple+IV-1.jpg Science Education Programs & Resources - Sugar Maples and Climate Change Importance value of sugar maples during the baseline period of 1961-1990. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/311bd362-e69d-475a-b52f-99ce12e20b64/sugar+maple+IV+RCP4.5.jpg Science Education Programs & Resources - Sugar Maples and Climate Change Projected importance value of sugar maples at the end of the 21st century (2070-2100) based on the average of three global climate models, assuming that we significantly reduce our carbon dioxide emissions (emissions scenario RCP4.5) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/dd90d31b-623e-41ab-9784-97f482a7415d/sugar+maple+IV-2.jpg Science Education Programs & Resources - Sugar Maples and Climate Change Projected importance value of sugar maples at the end of the 21st century (2070-2100) based on the average of three global climate models, if we continue to emit carbon dioxide at a high rate (emissions scenario RCP8.5) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/cbc4f201-2951-4ce5-9c77-80e3354de480/sugar+maple+IV+legend.jpg Science Education Programs & Resources - Sugar Maples and Climate Change LEGEND https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1581454021989-5WRNOORRLDPINYPHX5KJ/Emerging+leaves+1+May+5+2014.JPG Science Education Programs & Resources - Sugar Maples and Climate Change - Contribute to sugar maple research by being a citizen scientist You can participate in a tree phenology citizen science project at the Cayuga Nature Center, and by doing this you can learn how to participate at home with a tree in your neighborhood. Phenology is the study of cyclical changes in plant and animal life. At the Cayuga Nature Center, visitors can collect data on trees that we have registered with the USA National Phenology Network, including a sugar maple. Researchers use the data to understand how seasonal cycles in trees are changing, to assess how trees and ecosystems are vulnerable to climate change, and to help make decisions about how to manage forests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1617991356197-6NBYETAY4R2XWJNFZA17/Cayuga+Nature+Center+maple+syrup+operations.jpg Science Education Programs & Resources - Sugar Maples and Climate Change - Learn about the Cayuga Nature Center’s sugarbush Watch this video to find out how we make maple syrup at the Cayuga Nature Center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1584108783929-ZBRSUFR5NMQLYN204SSA/Chabot+maple+video+screenshot.jpg Science Education Programs & Resources - Sugar Maples and Climate Change - Learn about the history and science of maple syrup production In this CORNELLCAST video, Dr. Brian Chabot, Emeritus Professor at Cornell University, talks about the history of maple syrup production by Native Americans and European settlers, the properties of sugar maple trees, and how to tap a tree.

It is the region above and below the Earth surface, extending from the tops of the trees down through the subsurface to the bottom of the groundwater. The Critical Zone is where we live. It is where we grow our food, and where we get our water and most of the other resources that we use every day. The US Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) network consists of nine field stations and a National Office, each located in a different climatic and geologic setting. CZO scientists observe and measure many of the same parameters at each site. Building a common set of measurements across a diverse range of environmental conditions allows scientists to examine the underlying factors responsible for ecosystem growth and resilience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1579202324823-6D9RT1PVISNIJWPDO2S7/CZO-data-example.png Science Education Programs & Resources - Critical Zone Science Carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature measurements at Cayuga Nature Center show seasonal change. In late summer (left) there is a large temperature change from day to night, and an accompanying change in atmospheric CO2. During the day photosynthesis draws CO2 out of the air into plants to build biomass, while night-time respiration releases CO2 to the atmosphere causing its concentration to increase. In early winter (right) plants are dormant and snow blankets the ground, suppressing both photosynthesis and respiration, while the temperature is uniformly colder. https://www.priweb.org/science-education-programs-and-resources/climate-change-and-energy-programs monthly 0.5 2025-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1579097030271-Y02FCVL7GLBUOOL5C9RT/Children+at+summer+camp+observing+how+the+ground+soaks+up+water.

The overwhelming majority of that mass - about 5.5 pounds is the carbon in the gasoline. Graphite is pure carbon. The three 2” x 2” x 6” blocks of graphite shown here together weigh 5.5 pounds. The quarter is included to show scale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1ffdfcac-596f-4223-bdb7-a435a9a73e08/2x4+described+with+Don.jpeg Blog Archive - We need to support climate change education because it works! - Make it stand out Wood is about half carbon by weight. An eight foot 2x4 weighs about 11 pounds meaning that it has about the same amount of carbon in it as a gallon of gasoline. If you want to remove the carbon from the atmosphere that is added by burning gasoline, you need to grow the equivalent of a standard 2x4, and it cannot be allowed to burn or decay. https://www.priweb.org/blog-post/2022-katherine-palmer-award-to-kent-gibson monthly 0.5 2026-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/39047fd3-4325-43fc-a54d-58ecbf8acd3b/20220826_123906+%282%29.jpg Blog Archive -

To do this and to have as many species in same genus (as is) requires extinction. Thus between A + B the immense gap of relation. C + B the finest gradation. B+D rather greater distinction. Thus genera would be formed. Bearing relation [next page begins] to ancient types with several extinct forms." Source: Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons (public domain).

(a) peak glacial, also known as the glacial maximum about 22,000 to 20,000 years ago, (b) late glacial, referring to inception of deglaciation about 20,000 to 18,000 years ago when land and sea ice melting began, and (c) termination conditions, referring to the end of the glaciation, about 18,000 to 10,000 years ago. (a) Extended Ice Sheet and Ice Shelf (Jakobsson et al., 2016). No occurrence of phytoplankton productivity, terrigenous organic matter input, nor ice algae production underneath ice sheet; total sedimentation may have decreased to zero (Stein et al., 2017). (b) Ice sheet reached the shelf edge, with a polynya situation caused by katabatic winds which allowed sea ice algae and phytoplankton production (Stein et al., 2017). (c) Major retreat and decay of the ice sheet resulted in high sediment ice-rafted debris (IRD) input by calving icebergs (Stein et al., 2017). Phytoplankton and algal activity are virtually shut down during the glacial maximum due to the think ice shelves, but biological activity and flux of terrigenous organic material to the deep ocean begins during the late glacial and in the case of ice-rafted debris, the termination interval.

She was one of the first women to earn a Ph.D. in geology from Yale University. She was also the first woman to become a member of the Paleontological Society. Mignon went to college at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Her mentor at Ohio State, geologist Edward Orton, encouraged her to stay in paleontology. After graduating in 1892, Mignon taught physical geography in Columbus schools. She began her Ph.D. in geology at Yale University in 1903 and completed her degree in just one year. Mignon spent the rest of her career as a geology and geography professor at Mount Holyoke, a women’s college in Massachusetts. Rather than publishing papers, Mignon devoted her time to teaching students and building the Geology Department’s collection. She took students on trips to view rock formations and look for fossils, but believed women should work in laboratories, museums, and offices. Like many scientists of her time, Mignon felt fieldwork was only appropriate for men. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1615478827146-Y4USN2BUFG5PPMHNW4IO/Podokesaurus-Cast-2-IMG_6625-Web.jpg Blog Archive - Mignon Talbot and the Discovery of Podokesaurus - Cast of Podokesaurus, on loan from the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History The original fossil was destroyed in the Mount Holyoke fire, but a cast of the specimen is still on display in New Haven, Connecticut, courtesy of the Peabody Museum of Natural History.

Mason bees usually live in hollow reeds or holes in wood, but here’s how to make a home just for them: Tear out the perforated paper—each illustrated as a different room in a house—roll the sheets into tubes, enclose the tubes using the book’s cover, and hang the structure outside. The bees will arrive, pack mud into the tubes, and begin pollinating all the plants in your backyard. Twenty experiments and activities reveal even more about bees—how to smell like a bee, understand the role of flowers and pollen, learn how bees communicate with each other through “dance,” and more. It’s the real buzz on bees, delivered in the most ingenious and interactive way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1607623678010-4AVL1F06N2ZS1VZO114R/earthcoreteainfuser_960x.jpg Blog Archive - Holiday Gift Guides: Ithaca is Gorges - Earth Core Sample Tea Infuser | $34.95 Carry your favorite tea and your love of earth science with you throughout the day!

As a result, the history of science is punctuated by stories of human triumph at its greatest, and stories of ignorance and repression at its worst. The stories found within the careers of women paleontologists throughout the history of the discipline contain both. Women have played a critical role in the development of the science of paleontology in America, but for many years their accomplishments have been overshadowed by those of men. Daring to Dig highlights the adventures and research achievements of a dozen women paleontologists, both from the past century and active today. The challenges they faced—both societal and scientific—are explored through a series of colorfully illustrated vignettes, as are their successes in overcoming these challenges. This book shows children that paleontology is a science for everyone, and also introduces them to a variety of ancient organisms that are commonly missing from children's books about prehistoric life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1606318199704-1USGHZA2LKVNK0E9F3LY/dino-atlas.jpg Blog Archive - Holiday Gift Guides: For the Family - Dinosaur Atlas | $18.99 Travel back in time over 200 million years to lost prehistoric lands and the dinosaurs that roamed them with Lonely Planet Kids' Dinosaur Atlas.

Some of the world’s best Helicoprion fossils have been found in Idaho, and they have also been discovered in Russia, Australia, and China. Helicoprion was not a true shark, but rather a member of a related group called the eugeneodontids, whose closest living relative is the ratfish. Helicoprion grew over 30 feet long and was a powerful predator. It probably ate fish and cephalopods, using its unique jaw to rip and slice through its prey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1606318335264-4M0HY77R7V29O6OV71O3/TestMemberCard-Family_960x.png Blog Archive - Holiday Gift Guides: For the Family - Family Membership | $80.00 Admission to the Museum of the Earth and the Cayuga Nature Center for a household (two adults and all children in the household under 18 or all grandchildren).

This book takes us inside “scenes of the crime,” from South Africa to the New York Palisades, to tell the story of each extinction. Brannen examines the fossil record—which is rife with creatures like dragonflies the size of sea gulls and guillotine-mouthed fish—and introduces us to the researchers on the front lines who, using the forensic tools of modern science, are piecing together what really happened at the crime scenes of the Earth’s biggest whodunits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1605642610693-TEI7FNB97VOZLQ7DHCZJ/darwin_glass.jpg Blog Archive - Holiday Gift Guides: For the Scientist - Charles Darwin Pint Glass | $17.95 This pint glass features the famous naturalist, geologist, and biologist best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.

The name “trilobite” means “three lobes.” They were an ancient kind of arthropod, the group that includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans. Greenops boothi is a trilobite found in the Devonian Period marine rocks of Central and Western New York. Our version is playfully colored green, but in fact Greenops is named after the 19th century paleontologist Jacob Green. https://www.priweb.org/blog-post/staff-spotlight-don-haas monthly 0.5 2020-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1604692593842-RGNR16X8PBGKZ14MUOJN/Niagara.Headshot.Mask.jpg Blog Archive - Staff Spotlight - Don Haas https://www.priweb.org/blog-post/hobs-oyster-research monthly 0.5 2022-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1603743094871-L81RL12UBAT8XK9B5ZC5/WashedSamples-2000px-IMG_0580.jpg Blog Archive - The Power of Adaptability: Oyster Research at PRI in a Covid-19 World A completed washed oyster sample from the HOBS project.

Many of the first women involved in paleontology contributed as scientific illustrators, a profession that exists and is important to this day. Though scientific illustrators are well educated about the subjects they draw and very skilled, anyone can look closely at the world the way they do and learn something about it! Though the illustration club was aimed at adults and teens, during each class an activity was available for the younger members of the audience. They featured different fossils and all kinds of art materials. The coloring pages that went along with those activities are compiled here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1590767200547-RNP9S1QEBHQRHC54I9QY/FossilStuff-NYSFossilsAndGems-600.jpg Blog Archive - Fun Fossil Activities - May 29: New York State Fossils and Gems Learn about New York State gems and fossils in today's Fun Fossil Activity.

New York State has a very rich fossil record. Most of the fossils of New York are found in Devonian Shale formations. That's because hundreds of millions of years ago, the area was covered by a shallow sea. This sea came to be inhabited by invertebrates like brachiopods, conodonts, eurypterids, jellyfish, and trilobites. Local marine vertebrates included arthrodires, chimaeroids, lobe-finned fishes, and lungfish. The sea is now gone, but a bounty of fossils remain from what is known as the Devonian Period about 360 million years ago. What colors would you think the animals of this period would have? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1590162978393-QYLJ0S3E96DHF2KZFWWN/FossilStuff-Paleobotany-600.jpg Blog Archive - Fun Fossil Activities - May 22: Paleobotany Learn about the branch of paleontology that studies plants in today's Fun Fossil Activity.

Daisy, one of our Animal Ambassadors at the Cayuga Nature Center, is a Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes). The Red Fox is one of the most widely distributed members of the order Carnivora, being present across the entire Northern Hemisphere. They originated from smaller-sized ancestors from Eurasia during the Middle Villafranchian period (around the end of the Pliocene and the beginning of the Pleistocene). The earliest known fossil specimens of V. vulpes date from 3.4-1.8 million years ago. Foxes colonized North America during or before the Illinoian and Wisconsinan glaciations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1589558433995-D6O2ABEENZARBVMWJSR0/FossilStuff-ClimateChange-600.jpg Blog Archive - Fun Fossil Activities - May 15: Fossils and Climate Change Find out how paleontologists track ancient climate changes in today's Fun Fossil Activity. As today’s climate is changing, many scientists are working to understand not only why it is changing but also what the effects of climate change will be on the Earth and its life. Paleontologists are using fossils to provide examples of the effect of climate change on Earth’s past. Understanding Earth’s history can help us predict our impact on global environmental cycles of today and the future. In this issue of Fossil Stuff, you will learn about two kinds of fossils that are helping to shed light on past climate change events. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1589383322625-JKBZBGRG02HVHFYOVM7D/FossilJumble-600.jpg Blog Archive - Fun Fossil Activities - May 13: Fossil Jumble Find the fossils in our Fossil Jumble in today's Fun Fossil Activity.

To the untrained eye, one might assume that brachiopods and bivalves belong to the same group. Indeed, many early naturalists considered them to both be mollusks. They are, however, classified as completely different animal groups. Brachiopods belong to Phylum Brachipoda, whereas bivalves belong to Phylum Mollusca, along with snails and cephalopods (e.g., octupuses and squids). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1588952477134-L0OPGHA4EBNHU0PIWHPQ/FossilStuff-TreeOfLife-Fall10-600.jpg Blog Archive - Fun Fossil Activities - May 8: Understanding the Tree of Life Learn about the Tree of Life and cladograms in today's Fun Fossil Activity. The Tree of Life is a tool scientists use to show how organisms are related through their similarities and differences. You can also use the Tree of Life to show the diversity, or variety, of life on Earth. In addition, learn how to read a cladogram, which is another tool scientists use to understand the relationships between species. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1588781747589-LX13BY6Y1R7AMLKE5M7R/WhaleSkeletonsAndEvolution-600.jpg Blog Archive - Fun Fossil Activities - May 6: Whale Skeletons And Evolution In today's Fun Fossil Activity, learn about whale evolution and how their skeletons are similar to other mammals. Whales are mammals just like us—their skeletons contain the same bones as humans. Because they evolved over millions of years to live in water, their rear legs have become unnecessary. Can you find the vestigial (remnant) bones of their rear legs in this drawing? Imagine how, over millions of years, the animal slowly changed to make living in the water easier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1588614171429-JHHGWUVOJWN2V73XXP8G/HowToDrawARightWhale-600.jpg Blog Archive - Fun Fossil Activities - May 4: How to Draw a Right Whale In today's Fun Fossil Activity, learn how to draw a Right Whale like the one that hangs over the main exhibit hall at the Museum of the Earth. For thousands of years whale scientists (cetologists) have known that whales are mammals, but cetacean ancestry remained hidden until recently. With discoveries of fossil whale bones found in Asia over the past 30 years, scientists now know that whales first evolved during the Eocene Epoch approximately 55 million years ago. These primitive whales evolved from a four-legged hoofed mammal. In fact, whales’ closest living relatives are the hoofed hippos, cows, pigs, and camels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1588356271505-ELJF9GR31JZK7ZIY6MS5/FossilFun-Birds-LivingDinosaurs-600.jpg Blog Archive - Fun Fossil Activities - May 1: Birds-Living Dinosaurs Learn about birds--living decedents of dinosaurs--in today's Fun Fossil Activity.

Stegosaurs are herbivorous dinosaurs that lived between 155 and 150 million years ago in the Late Jurassic period. The Museum's life-sized model, nicknamed "Steggy" was built for the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. In 1905 it was installed in the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, where it was part of the dinosaur exhibits seen by millions of visitors for generations. In 2014, the Smithsonian permanently transferred it to the Museum of the Earth. You can see a time-lapse video of the installation of Steggy at the Museum here: https://www.museumoftheearth.org/exhibit/steggy-the-stegosaurus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1587741645334-2UBZ1SVQPOFZPFMGP8T9/FossilStuff-StateFossils-600.jpg Blog Archive - Fun Fossil Activities - April 24: State Fossils Learn about state fossils in today's Fun Fossil Activity.

Planktic foraminifera are single-celled marine protists that disperse across the global ocean, totally at the mercy of surface ocean currents. Tracking their dispersal through time is possible with the use of sediment cores and their robust fossil record. This talk will discuss paleobiogeographic dispersal patterns of one genus of foraminifera, the globoconellids, and infer how such temperate-water species were able to move across the tropical oceans to achieve bi-polar distributions through the Neogene. https://www.priweb.org/event/darwin-days-2023 monthly 0.5 2026-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/81a984f0-ae16-44ed-a7be-df161baa2c3c/darwin-days-2023-banner.png Events -

Thermal Expansion of Water - Photo: The Eiffel Tower in Paris is taller in the summer than in the winter due to the thermal expansion of its iron structure. Typical annual temperature variations cause the tower to increase in height by about 15cm (6”) in the summer as opposed to winter. Also, because the sun shines on one side at a time, the sunny side also expands with respect to the three shady sides, causing the tower to tilt, so that the summit actually moves in a circle (diameter ~15cm) in opposition to the movement of the sun over the course of a day.

During a specified time frame (and completing a total of at least 120 hours), you work side-by-side with a staff member who will mentor you through your specific project while involving you in the department and Institution. These experiential internships encourage learning and growing but are unpaid. You are encouraged to check with your career services center to see if you are eligible for academic credit or a special funded program while interning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1579105148328-JC3OEZY14BRPNB3SDDU5/Work-Study.jpg Opportunities for Students - Work Study Most of these positions are offered through a college community service program and are in conjunction with federal work study awards.

By comparing the past community preserved in these unique accumulations, called cheniers, with the community of snails and clams living in the area today, scientists can begin to understand how human actions in the area have changed the local ecosystem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/16dfab91-1e0b-4e0b-a0c9-2efb803df21a/conservation-paleo-thumbnail.jpg Conservation Paleobiology - Explore Our Online Exhibit Learn more about Conservation Paleobiology and how thinking like a paleontologist can help solve today’s conservation problems. https://www.priweb.org/research/systematics-macroevolution daily 0.75 2020-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578951296985-YJP89VHMCHP16G8N6ZI7/Florida-FossilShells.png Systematics & Macroevolution https://www.priweb.org/research/harris-award daily 0.75 2026-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578929503535-K0G75JGI6DSX9CUB6B7D/Harris.png Harris Award https://www.priweb.org/research/palmer-award daily 0.75 2025-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578930458791-N4GSI7RNZZEG57FCS74R/KatherinePalmer-at-PRI.png Palmer Award https://www.priweb.org/research/dutro-award daily 0.75 2024-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578935727038-SEZQUIE72K7SNXYKZ4TP/OrdovicianLimestone.png Dutro Award https://www.priweb.org/collections/about-our-collection daily 0.75 2022-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578950841955-GMRBM9Z39QAEW9GRE2X0/Trilobite+49662+for+Devonian+NY.jpg About Our Collection https://www.priweb.org/research/important-individuals daily 0.75 2022-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578952790411-WPD789LJ8RW0DDPHKQJJ/PRI-History.png Important Individuals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578953441262-6R7APZBYCHKFG5NWELC5/pri_harris_med.jpg Important Individuals - Gilbert D.

This has been realized by professionals and many amateurs for a long time, but the name (and the confusion it promotes) have persisted. The snails are actually properly refereed to as Elimia tenera, in the family Pleuroceridae. The rock in which they are so abundant varies from a soft sandstone to a dense chalcedony. It is this dense silicified rock that is so popular with gem and mineral hobbyists, and also (unfortunately) with purveyors of "new age" ideas of crystal healing and the like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1581012494792-O3E4F2H3QZYJE4H1WFIK/turritella-agate-4.jpg Turritellid Research Elimia agate comes from the Green River Formation in southwestern Wyoming, northeastern Utah, and northwestern Colorado, from layers deposited in an series of ancient lakes that geologists call Lake Gosiute and Lake Uinta, in the early and middle parts of the Eocene Epoch, between around 53 and 42 million years ago. These rocks, in other words, formed in fresh water. The real Turritella is a group of snails that live only in the ocean. The shells of Elimia are distinguishable from real Turritella by being generally shorter and wider, but especially in having axial as well as spiral sculpture on the shell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1581012466881-DIP0TZ9X7RDYY5I4P2E9/turritella-agate-2.jpg Turritellid Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1581012488909-BCZI66H1UBDPV8VWZMPV/turritella-agate-3.jpg Turritellid Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1581011638270-9P64HCZFRQW31RS37XDT/turritellid-kitsch.jpg Turritellid Research https://www.priweb.org/employment daily 0.75 2020-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1579122694250-MQ28T6REAFPZTF3R0C07/IMG_2981.JPG Employment https://www.priweb.org/videos daily 0.75 2023-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1586539442300-98DQ50TAJXZ0WL07V9MV/image-asset.jpeg Videos https://www.priweb.org/research-collection-policy daily 0.75 2020-05-08 https://www.priweb.org/collections-data-use-policy daily 0.75 2020-05-08 https://www.priweb.org/research/recent-publications daily 0.75 2024-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578765721175-GB2FO5NOZ951J3CI8GUU/Research-PRI-Banner.png Recent Staff Publications https://www.priweb.org/research/research-facilities daily 0.75 2022-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578765721175-GB2FO5NOZ951J3CI8GUU/Research-PRI-Banner.png Research Facilities https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578760322013-LYIVM6RWWYJGNS6LQCNU/PRI-Bio-Lab.jpg Research Facilities - Bio Lab PRI’s Bio Lab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578761637299-4FTL5PL8EDU35HZAHXKK/PRI-Paleo-Lab.jpg Research Facilities - Paleo Lab PRI’s Paleo Lab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578761807383-17NMHB53TZELUE2KFMVF/PRI-Wet-Lab.jpg Research Facilities - Wet Lab PRI’s Wet Lab. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1578761991869-C0DPR4U0TUF7ZCBWU1QW/PRI-Prep-Lab.jpg Research Facilities - Prep Lab PRI’s Prep Lab. https://www.priweb.org/for-educators daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/1600868280516-RTMVXSEB9HWEIV76N55T/Don+Haas+with+teachers+at+Taughannock+2018.JPG For Educators https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/98b9cc12-1d2e-40d9-abd7-96aec0704d3c/NYS+Hardiness+Zones+smaller.gif For Educators - Make it stand out New York's climate is changing, and so are the expectations for climate change education in our schools!

In this virtual workshop, Dr. Brown-Steiner will present an overview of climate model ensembles, including how they are configured, the value of different forms of ensembles, and the challenges associated with running, analyzing, interpreting, and discussing ensemble results. Large ensembles of climate models are used to compare and gain confidence between different climate models as well as explore uncertainties and potential pathways within an individual climate model. Gaining confidence in climate models, especially when looking at future projections, is a difficult and requires careful considerations of uncertainty, truth, and ignorance. This workshop will explore some of these issues. Participants will also run their own "toy" climate models in an ensemble framework and we will collectively summarize, compare, discuss, and interpret our toy model results. This activity is intended to give an intuitive understanding of climate model comparisons, the difficulties that arise when discussion different model results and the different forms of uncertainty embedded within these discussions, and the balance between clear communication and jargon-laden technical details. This virtual workshop will include short presentations, interactive components, and group discussion, with ample opportunity for questions. This workshop has passed.

Student measurements are shown in the inset photos in winter and summer. Additional conclusions that could be drawn from a long-term record include (1) the shallow temperature is always warmer than the deep temperature in spring and summer, while the deep temperature is always warmer than the shallow temperature in fall and winter, and (2) the soil temperatures are always more stable (less variable) than the air temperatures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9f919e94d71a2bab6d18d8/5eaa478f-f1bb-4a68-a6ec-642ed1b22262/Picture5.jpg PGCPS - Make it stand out Change across space.
