 Tsunami research, monitoring, and mitigation efforts have intensified since the 2004 Sumatra earthquake that devastated communities around the Indian Ocean. Here we've compiled links to some of the best websites about the Sumatra event and various research and education efforts on tsunamis. In this Element List feature, you can find video simulations of the Sumatra event, satellite photos, information on the earthquake that generated the event from the USGS, and more. |
 Effective immediately, all earthlings posting to craigslist will have an opportunity to earmark their message for inclusion in the historic transmission from Cape Canaveral, immediately following the launch of the Discovery Space Shuttle - currently scheduled for May 15, 2005. Deep Space Communications Network will transmit the postings, along with a personal video message from Craig, and a clip from the documentary "24 Hours on craigslist" light years into space, for the benefit and edification of potential future craigslist community members in the great beyond.

 The World Year of Physics is an international celebration of physics, timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's "miraculous year." In 1905, Einstein revolutionized much of science with three groundbreaking advances: he proved the existence of atoms and molecules, he validated the emerging field of quantum mechanics, and he developed the theory of special relativity - which led to the most famous equation ever written, E=mc2. Return to this page often to keep abreast of the latest events, news, and cool sites throughout the year.

 James Cameron, the Academy Award winning director of Titanic, explores the idea proposed by many scientists that organisms living on the seafloor at mid-ocean ridges provide clues to where we might find life on other planets for the new 3D IMAX film "Aliens of the Deep," which opened on January 28th. Cameron films marine scientists and NASA researchers in ocean expeditions as they seek and explore hydrothermal vents at mid-ocean ridges and consider whether similar environments exist elsewhere in our solar system. See the links for more information about mid-ocean ridge science and for opportunities to get involved in ridge research yourself.
