In the tradition of Charles Darwin, Discovery Earth is all about the science of our planet. It's about how we watch and monitor the weather, birds, volcanoes, earthquakes, water, climate and even a few dinosaurs. So we're always fishing for the people in-the-know, in the field, watching the satellite imagery, doing the science, whether they work for NASA, NOAA, NWS, USGS, a university or elsewhere.
