Moving Image		Climate Change: In Our Backyard MPBN: Quest Series, Moving Image, 0:56:45 Using close-to-home examples, the views of leading scientists come alive as they show how climate change can affect almost every aspect of our lives - and in turn, how we affect the climate. (Relevance: 15242) Find Similar Resources	Climatic changes Ecology/Energy

Moving Image		Bioinvasion MPBN: Quest Series, Moving Image, 00:58:03 As human activity silently globalizes our world, our modern day ecology is under onslaught from spreading alien organisms. These plants and animals are capable of moving aggressively into a habitat and monopolizing resources to the detriment of other species. Can scientists help us win the war against this bio-invasion? (Relevance: 4902) Find Similar Resources	Invasive species Ecology

Moving Image		Winter MPBN: Quest Series, Moving Image, 0:56:43 For those plants and animals that don't migrate south for winter, a lot of preparation goes into getting ready for winter. When it comes to dealing with winter, plants and animals know things we humans don't.

Moving Image		Spring MPBN: Quest Series, Moving Image, 00:58:03 Because spring comes so late to northern New England, things have to happen quickly and profusely. Spring is the time of year that wildlife and plants come to life again and get right to the business of creating new life.

Moving Image		North Atlantic phytoplankton bloom Science, Moving Image The SeaWiFS instrument looks at the world oceans and land to observe the plant life and phytoplankton. Zooming down to the North Atlantic one can see the North Atlantic Bloom (in bright green). This shows a flowing upwelling. (Relevance: 2848) Find Similar Resources	Oceanography Phytoplankton bloom

Moving Image		Bodies In Motion: The Biomechanics of Sports MPBN: Quest Series, Moving Image, 0:54:36 Using athletics, QUEST takes a fresh look at the way our bodies move. Bridging the gap between research and the playing field, coaches, trainers and athletes themselves discover how to optimize performance and what to do when injury causes that performance to fail. (Relevance: 2408) Find Similar Resources	Biomechanics Sports -- Physiological aspects Human mechanics Human locomotion

Text		Maine Phytoplankton Monitoring Program Science, Text citizen volunteer program in which community members and students use plankton nets and field microscopes to monitor for phytoplankton that have the potential to cause harmful algal blooms (Relevance: 1953) Find Similar Resources	Ecology/Energy Marine phytoplankton -- Monitoring Environmental Sciences Phytoplankton populations

Moving Image		They Came By Sea MPBN: Home Series, Moving Image, 00:28:01 Europeans arrived here by sea, attracted by the region's phenomenal fisheries and the natural resources visible on the coast. At first, they weren't interested in establishing permanent settlements but, as an appreciation for the economic value of Maine's natural resources grew, colonial settlement began. Today, Maine continues to rely on the economic advantages available through the natural resources of the coast. (Relevance: 1619) Find Similar Resources	Fishing/Fisherman History - Colonial Period

Moving Image		Animation: Ocean Circulation Conveyor Belt Helps Balance Climate Science, Moving Image As part of the ocean conveyor belt, warm water from the tropical Atlantic moves poleward near the surface where it gives up some of its heat to the atmosphere. This process partially moderates the cold temperatures at higher latitudes. As the warm water gives up its heat, it becomes more dense and sinks. (Relevance: 1558) Find Similar Resources	Atlantic Ocean Circulation Oceanography

Moving Image		A Place Apart MPBN: Home Series, Moving Image, 00:27:01 Maine is a place apart from the mainstream of American society. Beginning early in Maine’s history, settlers, merchants, visitors, artists, and writers brought images of Maine to the rest of the world that shaped the State's economy, identity, and heritage. The history behind the image of Maine remains a vital part of how we and those from away view Maine today.
