Good News for Biosphere 2
NPR: Biosphere 2 Reopens for Climate Study
Biosphere 2, a facility dedicated to the research and understanding of global scientific issues, is reopening. A bunch of scientists won’t live in it this time. Instead the new owners of the Biosphere are leasing the 3.5-acre glass building to the University of Arizona, which plans to use the space to study climate and water.
It’s good that Biosphere 2 will be kept open, and not bulldozed. It’s even better that it’ll continue to be used for climate science. This is a good facility to study biogeochemical interactions in an enclosed environment.
[I'm on vacation this week starting today. I've got a few short posts in the queue, but they are mostly short little blubs to pieces by other people. No indepth articles this week. Sorry about that.]
