ACL Chalking Project
Harvard-MIT Earth history chalk project
ACL Co-PI Ann Pearson and ACL Education and Outreach Coordinator Phoebe Cohen teamed up with volunteers from MIT and Harvard to create three earth-history themed murals on the wall's of Harvard's Earth and Planetary Sciences building. Each mural shows a snapshot of the position of the continents during the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic time periods, as well as representative animals that lived in the oceans and on land during each time period. We're hoping to continue this project throughout the year, showcasing Earth history, Geobiology, and Astrobiology research (and artistic talent!) at Harvard and MIT.
