Are they bumps on a coral skeleton or sand dunes in the Sahara? This exhibition presents images created by satellites and electron microscopes revealing patters in nature which occur at different scales. Explore the images and guess which are macro-scale (satellite) and which are micro scale (electron microscope). The answers just might surprise you! 

Join us for our opening lecture with Stephen S. Young and Paul Kelly from Salem State University. 

 

Exhibition is supported by: Digital Humanities and Social Engagement Cluster; Department of Film and Media Studies, Dartmouth College; Digital Geography Lab, Salem State University; School of Graduate Studies, Salem State University; and Leslie Center for the Humanitites, Dartmouth College
