	1997 Science on Everest. Climbers Measure the True Rock Summit of Everest with GPS and Radar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Throughout the climb and from as high on the mountain as possible, they'll be transmitting audio updates and digital images over satellite phones.
		Bradford Washburn is a noted cartographer, explorer, and photographer whose maps, including that of Mount Everest, have been considered definitive.
		Though no longer in the field himself, Washburn continues to promote and inspire the search for ever more precise knowledge of mountains by sponsoring (through the Boston Museum of Science) and collaborating with scientists like Roger Bilham and Fred Blume, and climbers such as the Alpine Ascents team on this year's expedition.

		In 1997, USGS monitored seismic unrest at three Alaskan volcanoes and tracked eruptions at an additional three, as well as one in the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia.
		Not only is this information critical to resource managers and emergency management coordinators during times of flooding, but citizens also use the information for making decisions about when and where to repair the dikes and levees on their farms, when to move their property to higher ground, and when to evacuate.
		The USGS role is to provide integrated earth science information about land and water use in support of management and other policy decisions, develop analytical tools for improved decision-making, and enhance the understanding of how natural processes at the Earth's surface are affected by changes in climate or land and water use.
