EcoZone initiative; record year for spill clean-up; height modernization (Episode 2)




NOAA: Making Waves show

Summary: This week, we talk about NOAA's role in a new public-private partnership called the 'EcoZone Green Schools Initiative.' Then we look at the busiest year on record for the NOS Office of Response and Restoration, the NOAA office that responds to oil and chemical spills around the nation. Finally, we talk about a National Geodetic Survey effort to revolutionize the measurement of height by measuring gravity around the country. We wrap up the episode with a closer look at how gravity and height are related.
