The tidal zone of Olympic National Park offers researchers an incredible window into not just biological diversity, but also climate change. NPS image.

One of the fascinating sides of Olympic National Park is its coastal reach, one replete with cobbled shorelines, sea stacks, and tidal pools rich with marine life. Entering this zone researchers can explore everything from biological diversity to climate change in those tidal zones.

This video, produced by the North Coast and Cascades Science Learning Network, takes a look at this field work.

Reminds me of my days as an archaeologist, mapping sites and taking measurements in a similar fashion. Fascinating video.
