Chaos Theory

Research into patterns that cross national boundaries, including many oceanic and climate issues, is done on a global scale.

El Nino, the climate shift that alters rainfall patterns on the West Coast, plate tectonics, and whale migration are featured in our global scale research exhibits. Predict the weather based on satellite images, watch video of whale tagging and see the migration routes mapped from that tagging information; see satellite images and the equipment used to gather information on El Nino.
