Geotimes September 2006 Lisa Rossbacher	Big Lonesome Mountain What makes Gros Morne National Park so special is that its stories match the experience each visitor brings. The more geology you know, the more you will see and the richer the visit will be, but the geology meets all visitors at their own level.
Scientific American October 2006 Jeffrey D. Sachs	Fiddling While the Planet Burns Will the Wall Street Journal's editorial writers accept a challenge to learn the truth about the science of global climate change?
Geotimes September 2006 Callan Bentley	Summer Roadtrip: A Fossil Aquarium in Wyoming Fossil Butte National Monument is located in southwestern Wyoming, near the town of Kemmerer. It is the best place in the world to see freshwater lake fossils from 50 million years ago.
Geotimes September 2006 Carolyn Gramling	All Aboard the School of Rock The JOIDES Resolution, a 143-meter drill ship originally designed for oil exploration and converted for scientific exploration of the ocean floor, now has another new gig: It doubles as a floating classroom for earth science educators.
Geotimes September 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Mayon Volcano Eruption Slows Fewer seismic events and lessened ground deformation indicate that the ongoing eruption of Mayon Volcano, the Philippines' most active volcano, is finally slowing down.
Popular Mechanics August 2006 Melissa Wagenberg	Geophysicist Mike Poland, Big Island, Hawaii Years on Job: 5 A list of equipment used by this volcanic deformation specialist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

Geotimes September 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Microbes Act as Alchemists Placed in a solution of toxic gold and chloride, some microbes can take elemental gold and transform it into a nontoxic solid clump of gold -- a trick that might help the microbe survive in seemingly inhospitable environments.
Geotimes September 2006 Carolyn Gramling	Corals Adapt to Sea Change When seawater chemistry changes, some corals can change their structural makeup in an effort to adjust -- making them the first creatures known to do so, according to a new study.
Geotimes September 2006 Jennifer Yauck	Hurricanes Intensify Red Tides Off Gulf Four hurricanes hit Florida in 2004, dousing the state with some of its heaviest rainfall in more than three decades.
