Iva: You better be quiet and listen, Mike. I think Dee Anker just
said something about Yellowstone.
Anker: It has been brought to our attention that ground-breaking research
is taking place in the vast living laboratory known as Yellowstone National
Park-research that explores potential geologic
threats, such as volcanic activity or earthquakes,
that could impact people's lives. Our source-who prefers to be known only
as The Mole-is working undercover to reveal the latest discoveries on
research projects involving the park's hydrothermal
and volcanic systems.
Inspector: How can this be?
Iva: But Mike, you're always telling me that you want the public to
be aware of research taking place at Yellowstone!
Inspector: Well, of course, Iva. I think people would be fascinated,
if they only knew. But my staff all agreed it should be done the right
way. We were trying to figure out how to make people really sit up and
take notice!
Glossary: geology - scientific
