Ahoy! We're still at sea, the ocean is still None of Our Business, and yet we're learning so much about it! This week, we've got a special guest to guide us. Christine Bassett is currently a program coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Weather Program Office (NOAA). Christine collects data from ancient Arctic shell middens to reconstruct climate and sea ice levels for archaeological sites in the Aleutian islands. Tune in to learn how she's turning thousand-year-old clams into a climate thermometer! Interested in learning about how to use X-Rays and similar technology in archaeology?
