Roll over images for captions Researchers in DRI's Division of Earth and Ecosystem Sciences (DEES) come from a wide variety of scientific backgrounds but have a broad unifying interest in the causes, mechanisms, and history of landscape change over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Landscapes in this context include the geomorphic surface environment, the soils mantling the surface, and the vegetation and other biota (including humans) that inhabit and modify it. The above images were provided by Henry Sun, Ken Adams, Tim Minor, Mary Cablk, Harold Drollinger, and Andrew Young and include Antarctica landscape, satellite image of Incline Village, Bridgeport CA towards Sierra Nevada, Soil profile in Wyoming, DTK9 field activities, Smoke Creek sunset, Colorado river, Desert banded gecko in Nevada Mojave desert, Freel Peak near Heavenly Ski Area, Spotted skunk near Lake Tahoe, rock art and Bower Cabin at the Nevada Test Site, and Bolivia salt flats and landscape. |
