brings long-term perspectives to these issues, as we study how processes such as continental drift and climate change influence the earth and our lives. The earth sciences are distinct from other natural sciences. The study of the earth is interdisciplinary and historical, bringing knowledge from many other fields to help answer questions. Geoscientists investigate continents, oceans and the atmosphere, and emphasize both the processes that change the earth through time and the results of those

central to the primary challenges facing the world in the 21st century, including global climate change and evolving demands for energy resources, construction and manufacturing materials, food and agricultural products, and building sites necessary to support a growing population. The earth sciences are distinct from other natural sciences in that knowledge from many other fields is integrated to explore questions that arise as humans interact with the Earth.What do Geoscientists Do?Geoscientists

The W.M. Keck Observatory at PLUThe W.M. Keck Observatory at PLU is utilized by PLU faculty and students for undergraduate research and serves as an integral part of the Physics Department’s introductory Astronomy course (PHYS 110). The observatory is also a valuable community resource that is opened for public tours each summer. PLU student organizations are also welcome and encouraged to request tours of the facility during the school year. Undergraduate research at the observatory has

in the tropics, but very few at higher latitudes,” he said. “But it’s not been addressed on why this might be.” This research may eventually have links to climate change, and why or how one species might survive, while others may not, Behrens noted. Specifically, Behrens’ team will be looking at an eel-like fish known as the rock prickleback and the black prickleback. While Behrens will be on the beach, Egge will be taking his crew up the Mississippi River into a series of embayments or streams
