Through March 9 Last summer, in an art project that was equal parts hard science, "Twilight Zone" theater and existential inquiry, Trevor Paglen sent a photography exhibition called "The Last Pictures" into outer space, where it is expected to run for a few billion years.
(Johnson) ★ Trevor Paglen: 'The Last Pictures' (closes on Saturday) In an art project that was equal parts hard science, "Twilight Zone" theater, and existential inquiry, the artist Trevor Paglen had 100 photographs representing life on earth etched onto a silicon disk and had the disk attached to a communications satellite that was then sent into space to orbit the Earth indefinitely.
One of the challenges of doing research in climate change is that it increasingly forces you to work outside your natural science comfort zone.
From Rick Santorum's assertion that global warming is a hoax to Rick Perry's support for intelligent design, the current Republican presidential primary season has sometimes seemed like a science-free zone.
A science and arts zone crafted by the celebrated Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, its space-age design has proved controversial.
Up to 11,000 homes would, as has long been intended, still go ahead but much of the site would be devoted to a science and technology zone.
We use this approach to address the causes of intra-arc volcanic diversity in the Cascades, but we believe that the method can also be applied to other frontier questions in subduction zone science.
Through the merging of conceptual approaches that relate to Critical Zone science and the dynamics of successional climax PURE serves at the symbiotic interface between rural/natural and urban ecosystems and allow re-coupling of resource flows.
The field, for Derry, is "critical zone" science, which refers to the study of the Earth's outer layer of skin – from the bottom of groundwater to the tops of trees – where water, atmosphere, ecosystems, soil and rock all meet.
The varying but complementary spatial and temporal sensitivities of these disciplines, and quantitative relationships between them, will help us break the "Emoji" vs. "Disembodied" volcano paradigms, and thus represents tremendous potential to explore new frontier questions and to advance subduction zone science.
