Microfossils Reveal Climatic History of the Gulf of Mexico
Proxy data such as tree rings, ice cores, and microorganisms are collected and analyzed by scientists to unlock past climate records stretching back thousands to millions of years ago. This video podcast examines how scientists can decipher past climate from such records by focusing on a proxy calibration study in the Gulf of Mexico. Microfossils recover

White River at Hazleton, IN, bank full conditions
This video clip was captured from a boat while collecting water quality samples on the White River on April 20th, 2011. The gage height at the time was 17.39* feet and discharge was 32,900* cubic feet per second. The conditions seen here are considered bank full, which is the point at which the flow of the river completely fills river channel.
