Sometimes, scientific research requires you to get a little (or a lot) muddy.
The latest video in the “Outside Science (inside parks)” series follows high school students underground at Buffalo National River in northwest Arkansas as they take a weeklong course to learn about cave ecology and geology with Project C.A.V.E.S. (Creative Adventures and Valuable Experiences Through Spelunking).
Every month in 2016, the “Outside Science (inside parks)” video series will showcase ways “the next generation is getting involved in park science.” This is the eighth episode released by the National Park Service and produced by students from Colorado State University. Previous videos chronicle:
- A BioBlitz at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park
- Collecting dragonflies to study mercury levels at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Rocky Mountain National Park
- Red tides at Cape Cod National Seashore
- Baby turtles at Gulf Islands National Seashore
- A backcountry hiking and photography program at Denali National Park and Preserve
- Counting cacti at Saguaro National Park
- Vegetation mapping at Everglades National Park
