SUMMARY:Mars & Opportunity rover
DESCRIPTION:“Mars and Opportunity rover” \nTour guide: Hajime Nishimura (JAMSTEC)/ Yan Lauria (Abyss Observatory and Education Portal) \nDate/ Time: 8th June (Sat)\, 2019 at 7 am PDT/  14:00 GMT/ 23:00 Japan \n  \nLocation: Start from Mars field of Explorer Island  \nTP to Mars Victoria Crater \nBonus: Astreroid Ryugu and Hayabusa2\, International Spaceflight Museum \n(You need to select TP destination at the arrival point of International Spaceflight Museum) \n  \nAbstract: \nOn February 2019\, NASA announced the end of 15 years Mars exploration by the Opportunity rover at last. \nAt first\, NASA thought Opportunity’s life is only 3 months due to dust on the solar panels\, but it is found Mars Dust Devils blow away the dust on the solar panel. \nIt is known Mars wind can be more than 120 km/h\, so Sci-Fi novels and movies describe astronauts are blown even in recent movie “The Martian” (2015). \nBut there is a trick that Mars air density is only 0.75% of the Earth. Its thin air annoyed Mars landing. \nAt Explorer Island\, you can ride on Opportunity\, Landing air bags and even Dust Devil\, and you can feel empathy with Opportunity when he/she entered in the Victoria crater. \nAs a bonus\, I’ll introduce a new exhibit of the spacecraft “Hayabusa2” and sample return mission from asteroid “Ryugu” using markup language Markdown. \n  \nRemarks \nI’ll use voice in English. \nThe Mars sky is rather red at noon and rather blue at sunset/ sunrise. \nPlease change your environment setting by yourself. \n  \n  \nHajime Nishimura / Yan Lauria \n  \nPrevious work in the Library \nPrevious work in the Film collection \n  \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:Tour of the Geology Museum
DESCRIPTION:Title: Tour of the Geology Museum and discussion of Bill Schmachtenberg’s current and past research \nABSTRACT:  A few years ago\, James Madison University gave Bill Schmachtenberg (Dae Miami  SL) permission to create a virtual geology museum on their sim. Unfortunately\, the JMU campus on SL shut down. The Science Circle stepped in and has generously permitted Bill to recreate the museum on their region. On June 15 we will tour the maps in the global geology museum and then have a talk about Bill’s past and current research projects concerning palaeography\, palaeontology\, and extinction events. \nby Dr. William F. Schmachtenberg (Dae Miami SL)  \nPrevious work in the Film Collection \n  \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:A Tour of Chemistry Lab Experiments
DESCRIPTION:A Tour of Chemistry Lab Experiments in Second Life \nWe will take a tour of Chemistry World\, a landscaped island with space for pre-lab training\, a chemistry building with briefing room and\, most importantly\, lab facilities for students to complete two virtual chemistry experiments. I will explain the ways that the SL environment enables us to improve students’ educational experience and some of the challenges we encountered when developing and implementing the experiments. Attendees can perform the experiments just as actual students did (without turning in a lab report next week). \nBy Kurt Winkelmann \nAssociate Professor of Chemistry\nFlorida Institute of Technology \n  \n  \nPrevious related talk \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

SUMMARY:The Coast and Waters of the Sub-Arctic
DESCRIPTION:Get up with us! Up to the coast and waters of the Sub-Arctic that is. All at The Abyss Observatory. \nI don’t know if you’ve noticed but the Arctic has been in the news a lot recently. They’ve had a heatwave with above freezing temperatures on the very northernmost shores of Alaska. Why is this important? It is becoming increasingly apparent that the Arctic is experiencing a colossal breakdown in fundamental climate and ecosystem processes\, and what happens weatherwise in the Arctic affects all the rest of the globe as well. \nWhile we don’t pretend that virtual can fully represent the physical world\, we have produced a set of environments to give you a taste of what the coastal and marine habitats are like in the Sub-Arctic\, Temperate\, and Tropical zones.\nWe’ll be starting our tour in the Sub-Arctic shore and ocean habitats\, seeing and talking about some of the animals and plants that live there and the interdependencies of that habitat. We’ll then move south along the shore into a Temperate area\, and finally into the Tropics. \nIf you’d like to swim with us\, please do. Whales and seals will swim with you. If you’d rather not get wet\, we have a transparent walking tube that circles our Abyss island so swim flippers\, bare feet\, or walking shoes\, it’s your choice. \nPlease join us for this tour and discussion. We’ll gather at the Abyss Observatory welcome gallery then walk across the bridge and north to the Sub-Arctic. \nCheers\,\nLinda Morris Kelley (Delia Lake in SL)\nHabitat Curator \nPrevious tour on film \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.
