Keelings study is just one of many from an incredible diversity of disciplines that use Hawaii as place to understand earth and life processes.  From the depths of our oceans, across our volcanic slopes, deep in the rainforests, from the alpine summits, to the mysteries of the universe, Hawaii is a stage and showcase that is unequalled anywhere on the planet.

I’ll close today’s blog with one of my favorite quotes about Hawaii. The February 1924 edition of The National Geographic was all about Hawaii—the whole issue.  In the forward, N.G.’s founder and editor, Gilbert Grosvenor recalls how he and his wife were asked by several folks how they could entertain themselves for eight weeks on those “tiny specks” of islands in the Pacific.  Grosvenor writes in response, “The members of this Society know that the Hawaiian Islands are one of the wonderlands of the globe; that Nature conceals in them more of her mysteries to attract and chain the attention of the student and more of her masterpieces to enrapture the visitor than in any similar area”

With Aloha,
