SUMMARY:Tree Seed Dispersal (ecoEXPLORE)
DESCRIPTION:From nuts to samaras\, trees have many different ways to spread seeds. Trees have adapted to use wind\, water\, fire and even animals to disperse their seeds. Some seeds germinate right away\, while others can take years! This program will explore the diversity of seed dispersal methods and how to identify a few trees based on seeds. \nThis program requires pre-registration. Please register here to receive the Zoom link. \nThis program is geared toward children in grades K-8 and their families\, but all are welcome! You will learn about the ecoEXPLORE project during the program. \nNOTICE TO CHILDREN AND GUARDIANS\nIf you are under age 13 and you wish to participate in certain events or exhibits at\, conducted by\, or sponsored by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences\, your parent or guardian must register you and provide their consent as well as your information. Please see our privacy policy for additional information.

SUMMARY:Challenging the Deep Lecture Series: Steve Ross
DESCRIPTION:Returning to the Wreck of RMS Titanic\nDeep-Sea Science in the North Atlantic\nDeep-sea crab. Photo © Art Howard. \nAbout this Lecture\nThe deep-sea\, generally deeper than 200 meters\, is the largest ecosystem on Earth and the least known. The RMS Titanic\, which lies at about 3\,800 meters depth\, is an iconic wreck to explore and has been the subject of several expeditions since its location was discovered in 1985. Equipped with a new 5-person submersible called Titan\, scientists want to investigate the ecology of the most famous shipwreck and therefore the most famous artificial reef. \nDr. Steve Ross joins us for the second installment of the Challenging the Deep Lecture Series to explore the development of the Titan\, his 2021 and 2022 expeditions to the Titanic\, as well as new discoveries and exciting achievements from deep-sea science throughout the western North Atlantic Ocean. \nLecture recommended for ages 12 and older. \nTickets are $10; free for Members. Ticket includes lecture with Q&A and an evening exploration of James Cameron – Challenging the Deep. Exhibition open from 5:30-7pm. Lecture begins at 7pm. Not a member yet? Join today! \nBUY TICKETS\nAbout our guest\nDr. Steve Ross is a Research Professor at the Center for Marine Science at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. He has served as chief scientist on numerous cruises\, including those using submersibles. He is the Chief Scientist for the 2022 Titanic Survey Expedition.  His current work involves community assessment of unique deep-water habitats\, such as methane cold seeps. He holds a PhD from North Carolina State University. Dr. Ross is the author of the most peer-reviewed journal articles resulting from ocean exploration missions supported by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER). \n\nAbout the lecture series\nJoin ocean experts in this special lecture series to dive deep into the knowns and unknowns of our watery world. Each month\, we will feature a presentation from a renowned scientist (7–8pm) and an evening viewing of the special exhibition\, James Cameron – Challenging the Deep (open 5:30–7pm). Other lecture dates: \nFebruary 9: Dr. Kate Davis\, Oceanographer with North Carolina State University \nApril 13: Dr. Sönke Johnsen\, Sensory Biologist at Duke University \nThese lectures are recommended for ages 12 and older.
