Announcements
The Museum has several new teaching stations including an OmniGlobe spherical projection system that shows NOAA/NASA earth systems data in a striking format.
We also have an EnVision Groundwater Flow Model and an EmRiver Stream Simulation Model, as well as a large collection of high quality minerals, an Allosaurus dinosaur skeleton, a real-time earthquake display, and information about local geology.
Workshops for faculty, students, and K-12 teachers who would like to use these tools are offered by request.
