| Posted: 24 Nov 2010 09:51 PM PST An article in the Washington Post explains what it is like to be a paleontologist from the perspective of Mark Norell, paleontologist at the American Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC.    |
| Life in the Rockies During the Ice Age Posted: 24 Nov 2010 09:50 PM PST A heavy equipment operator realized that he had uncovered some bones while expanding a reservoir near the Aspen/Snomass ski resort in Colorado. Since then paleontologists have identified 22 species from the site which include mastodon, mammoth, bison, ground sloth and a complete Ice Age deer.  |
| BP’s Big Natural Gas Discovery in Egypt Posted: 24 Nov 2010 09:44 PM PST BP in partnership with RWE Dea, a German oil and gas company, announced a significant natural gas find in the West Nile Delta of Egypt.  |
| Have You Visited the “Encyclopedia of Life”? Posted: 24 Nov 2010 09:30 PM PST Have you visited the Encyclopedia of Life website yet?

| Posted: 24 Nov 2010 09:05 PM PST The Australian Academy of Science has an introduction to geoengineering posted on their website…. “Geoengineering (otherwise known as climate engineering) is a branch of science which is focused on applying technology on a massive scale in order to change the Earth’s environment. At the moment many geoengineering technologies are considered hypothetical and risky, but they are being increasingly promoted as a way to reduce the effects of global warming arising from greenhouse gas emissions.” Quoted from the AAS website.  |
