Charles Darwin defined natural selection in "On the Origin of Species," however, Darwin did not invent the idea of evolution and not everyone saw his ideas as original. The shadow of Lamarckian theory which Darwin wanted desperately to escape is a genuine scientific precursor and what has become known as the Lamarckian Heresy has maintained a presence on the fringes of biology to this day. This radio broadcast explores who Lamarck was, how natural selection escaped from his shadow and gained acceptance from the scientific establishment, and whether any evidence has emerged that might challenge the elegant simplicity of natural selection. There is discussion about whether what is passed on to descendants may be affected by experience and environment; the experiments performed by Mendel that led to genetics; the role of DNA, gene mutations, and networks of genes in epigenetics; and how there seem to be fewer genes in humans than expected. The 2003 broadcast is 57 minutes in length.

This site features links to twelve NASA radar images of the world's famous archaeology sites, including brief descriptions of the respective processes and settings involved. The images were created with the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C and X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) as part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth. The radar illuminates Earth with microwaves allowing detailed observations at any time, regardless of weather or sunlight conditions.

This report provides an overview of the changes that occurred in lakes in the region around Mount St. Helens following the eruption of May 18, 1980. Topics include water chemistry, sediment supply, and biology. Other factors which are discussed include the proximity of lakes to the volcano, and whether they were situated in the blast zone or simply received ashfall from the eruption. Links to related sites and to ordering information for hard copies of the report are also provided.

Earthquake prediction has never been an exact science or an easy job. In 1923, the debate between two Japanese seismologists, Akitune Imamura, and his superior at the University of Tokyo, Professor Omori, over whether a great earthquake was imminent, ended in tragedy as Omori prevailed and no preparations were made for the disaster. In this video segment, a contemporary seismologist tells the story of these two pioneers and describes the events of the Kanto Earthquake, in which 140,000 people were killed. The segment is two minutes fifty-seven seconds in length. A background essay and discussion questions are included. Running time for the video is 2:57.
