Past Events 2008

Saturday, February 2, 2008, Morrill Hall

The University of Nebraska State Museum and the UNL Department of Geosciences held their annual fun family day: Dinosaurs & Disasters. This year's theme reflected the International Polar Year.

It was a full day of discovery with three floors of hands-on activities with scientists! This year, the Antarctic Geological Drilling (ANDRILL) Program was featured in Elephant Hall. The ANDRILL Science Management Office, located at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, administers and coordinates the program's scientific research.

Topics included: global climate change, fossils, geology, natural disasters, plus planetarium shows. Visitors were encouraged to bring a rock or fossil for identification.
