Radar Used To Grow
Better Wine Grapes
Winemakers
know that soil moisture is key to growing
quality wine grapes, but accurately monitoring
the soil's water content is a difficult
and expensive task. Now, innovative research
led by UC Berkeley scientists, including
Lab Earth Scientists Susan Hubbard
and Yoram Rubin, is lending
a high-tech hand to the fine art of grape
growing by using ground penetrating radar,
or GPR, to map soil moisture in vineyards.

release.

‘Elegant
Universe’ Will
Get PBS Treatment
One
of the most ambitious and exciting theories ever proposed—one
that may be the long-sought Theory of Everything, that eluded
even Einstein—gets a lavishly computer-animated explanation
from best-selling author-physicist Brian Greene, when NOVA
presents the nuts, bolts, and sometimes outright nuttiness
of string theory, on The Elegant Universe, a groundbreaking
three-hour miniseries airing Tuesdays: Oct. 28 from 8 to 10
p.m. and Nov. 4 from 8 to 9 p.m. on PBS television. Locally,
the program will be carried on KQED-TV, Channel 9. Go here
for more information.
