3....2.....1.....go! Join us at FOUNDATION coffee co for an evening of discussion with scientists whose studies take them outside of the lab and into the natural environment of Earth and beyond! Tonight we will hear from Dennis Giardina, who works with the US Park Service and Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission climbing trees and studying panthers, Dr. Antonio Paris, a Professor of Astronomy who is searching for Planet 9, and Mel Rogers.
Dennis Giardina: A Tree Climber's Perspective
Since 2001, Dennis Giardina has been a member of the US Park Service and Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission's Florida Panther Capture Teams. Why do these agencies capture panthers and why does Dennis climb trees? Check out his talk and find out!
Dr. Antonio Paris: The Search for Planet 9
Planet 9, which is supposedly orbiting the outer Solar System, is a hypothetical planet that could explain the strange clustering of Trans-Neptunian Objects in the Kuiper belt and their unusual orbits around Sun. Speaker: Prof. Paris is a Professor of Astronomy at St. Petersburg College, FL. and the Director of Space Programs at MOSI. He is currently the Primary Investigator at the Site B 10-meter Radio Telescope in Central Florida researching pulsars and black holes.
Dr. Mel Rodgers: Volcano! Will it flow or will it blow?
When volcanoes erupt they do so in a variety of spectacular ways, from explosive eruptions to (not so) gentle lava flows. In this talk I'll explore why volcanoes erupt in certain ways, what their impacts can be and how my research helps in understanding what a volcano will do next.
