SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discovery: Mapping Tree Inequality
DESCRIPTION:Why Many People Don’t Benefit from Tree Cover\nRobert McDonald\, Lead Scientist\, Nature-Based Solutions\, The Nature Conservancy \nSummers in the United States are getting hotter with an increase in dangerous temperatures and deadly heatwaves due to climate change. Although trees can be one solution to reduce air temperatures in neighborhoods\, the amount of tree canopy is unequally distributed in America with low-income neighborhoods generally having less tree cover. Join Rob McDonald to learn more about the extent of tree cover inequality and its effect on temperatures for thousands of communities throughout the United States. \nJoin us on YouTube \n\nLive Virtual Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff. \nYou can post questions in the YouTube chat or tweet questions to #LunchTimeDiscovery and mention @NorthCarolinaEE. \nBrought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.

SUMMARY:From Dust to Planets: Clues from Meteorites
DESCRIPTION:  \nAn X-ray mosaic of the elements Magnesium (Red)\, Calcium (Green)\, and Aluminum (Blue) in “Kainsaz”\, a primitive meteorite being studied by Dr. Denton Ebel. Click for a larger image. (Image Courtesy of Dr. Denton Ebel\, AMNH) \nJoin us on YouTube! \nJoin Dr. Denton Ebel\, curator at the American Museum of Natural History\, to explore the sources of interplanetary dust and meteorites. Discover how these “left-overs” from the early history of the Solar System provide clues to the origin of the planets. On our journey\, the NCMNS’s own Dr. Rachel Smith will pilot fly-through-the-Universe software called OpenSpace as we focus on the structure of the Solar System and the origins of Earth and the super-dense planet Mercury! \nDr. Ebel is a geologist specializing in meteorites: pieces of planets and “leftovers” from the formation of the solar system. The distant\, resource-rich asteroid belt is his field area. He serves as the Chair of the Division of Physical Sciences and Curator of Meteorites at the American Museum of Natural History.
