Abstract:

This wide-screen theater program presents some of the latest technology
scientists are using to better understand our planet.  Visualizations are
high-resolution, color animations of scientific data - from views of
storms from space to simulations of otherwise invisible phenomena such as
ocean circulation and solar turbulence.  The event is free to the public.
