Melting Glaciers and Rivers Gone Wild – Science-based Solutions to Protect National Parks: A 45-minute Virtual Field Trip with Washington's National Park Fund. Mount Rainier National Park’s glaciers are melting and storms are getting bigger and more frequent, due to a changing climate. Devastating floods and debris flows are increasingly threatening visitor and worker safety, and washing out park roads, campgrounds, and trails. The Park is discovering that traditional engineering road repairs and expensive flood protections are not working, and visitors continue to lose access, and natural resources are damaged. Join Geomorphologist Paul Kennard for an insider view of how the park is fighting back with the Imminent Threats Program – an innovative approach that uses leading-edge science to identify and economically repair previously un-fixable roads and trails – and learns from its mistakes.

Join a pub crawl at the Crossworlds of the World and learn about Prohibition and its effects on world-famous Times Square. In 1910s, Times Square was the new entertainment center of New York. The legitimate theater industry was moving in. Fancy restaurants called lobster palaces were in vogue. Illegal casinos would be opening up. Prostitution would spill north from the Tenderloin district. And then the most dramatic change would occur -- Prohibition. On this three-hour pub crawl, see the locations of where New York’s underworld held court during the Great Experiment. Visit a hotel dubbed the Country Club of 42nd Street that closed due to Prohibition. Gain entrance to a speakeasy on the famous Club Row. Drink where the Broadway stars and fans had dined for a generation. Hit a swanky bar located in a famous Art Deco hotel. Step into a famous deli where a visionary gangster funded the vice that made Times Square the epicenter of 1920s New York Jazz Age. All this and more on this boozy pub crawl at the Crossroads of the World. [less-]

Join me for a virtual tour of the Hermitage, one of the most famous museums in the world, located in St. Petersburg, Russia. See the room where Catherine the Great had private parties so secret that even servants were not allowed to attend and where the decor is so stunning you will not want to leave (in the picture). Visit the private rooms of the last Russian tsar, Nicolas II, rooms where he spent time with his beautiful wife Alexandra, rooms visited by Rasputin, and rooms where the famous Princess Anastasia lived. I have some amazing historic photos from that time that I will show during the tour! Learn about some amazing world-class art, such as Da Vinci, Rafael, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, and more. All of this in beautiful palace-worthy interiors designed in the 19th century specially to house this jaw-dropping art. Enjoy an exclusive view of the crown jewels, including Catherine the Great's diamonds, in the Diamond room (not everyone knows about that amazing space!). Be surrounded with the splendor of gold, marble, granite, malachite, and more gold, because you are in Russia, and our royal family was super wealthy. Have a private showing of a famous clock that you probably wouldn't see working, even if you were at the Hermitage in real life right now (or really, any other time!) [less-]
