Wild Weather - Wet: School-Day Event

Friday, February 4, 2005
10:00am to 11:00am
Add to Cal
Beckman Auditorium
  • Public Event
This CineMuse high-definition film takes a ride with the rains from the wettest place in Europe-the Norwegian town of Bergen where it rains 265 days a year-to the wettest country in the world, India, where 25 billion tons of water fall each day during the monsoon period. Following the route of the Thermohaline Conveyor, we come to the warm seas of the Caribbean and the awesome power of floods. In Texas, the opposite is true; there is no rain, which is why local farmers are hoping to manufacture it.
[A BBC/TLC co-production.]

A post-screening discussion will be led by Tomtor Varutbangkul, of Caltech's Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.

This event is designed for school groups in grades 3 to 12. For information about how your school can participate, please call us at (626) 395-6059.
