Elementary student wrap-up following a field trip to the Museum of the West exhibits

The Dotsero Crater in western Eagle County, is Colorado’s only active volcano. A new report from the United States Geological Survey lists it as a moderate threat to human activity. Don’t worry, Dotsero is not expected to erupt again anytime soon, but it does give us a chance to explore the report, and this mysterious piece of Colorado geology a little further. To help with the details, 9NEWS turned to Richard Busch with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. He is an archeologist by expertise, but as an educator with the museum, he must be well versed in everything from anthropology to zoology.

Our virtual lecture celebrating Earth Science Week and National Fossil Day with Dr. Mathew Wedel of Western University of Health Sciences. The gigantic Brachiosaurus is one the most popular of all dinosaurs, appearing in everything from Jurassic Park to Walking With Dinosaurs and Dinosaur Train. But despite its fame, we actually have very few fossils of Brachiosaurus, and no complete skeletons. However, new discoveries in Utah have the potential to change that. Join our Dr. Matt Wedel as he talks about the battle with heat, storms, and simple gravity to find and recover new fossil bones of this Jurassic titan. Dr. Matt Wedel is an anatomist and paleontologist. He's coauthored three papers naming new dinosaurs: the long-necked sauropods Sauroposeidon (2000) and Brontomerus (2011), and the early horned dinosaur Aquilops (2014). In 2016 his book "The Sauropod Dinosaurs: Life in the Age of Giants", with artist and lead author Mark Hallett, was published by Johns Hopkins University Press.
