| Something controversial or provocative about this subject Whether the national parks should share in the profits that eventually accrue from scientific discoveries and just how this should be controlled is a subject under study right now. It's called the benefits sharing controversy, and I've researched it and written a blog entry about it on the Amazon.com page for "Yellowstone Treasures." | | Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Microbiologists have discovered and categorized only a small percentage of the archaea, bacteria, and algae that live in the hot springs. It is a huge field that has only been opening up in the last couple of decades. | | What do you like about this subject? I find everything I love in Yellowstone: beauty, adventure, fascinating puzzles needing solving, natural places left untouched by man. | | What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Year-round I am reading history of Yellowstone and trying to understand better what scientists are gradually learning, particularly about its geology and its microorganisms. |
