Biosphere2,Oracle, Az







Today we went for a tour of the biosphere2 just outside of Tucson. This unique stucture was created to better understand how natural environments create habitable conditions for human sustainability. It is a unique facility that can be used to understand the role of life on Earth and the effects of climate change. Biosphere2 consists of five of Earth's biomes, plus a human habitant and a large ecological experiment facility. The University of Arizona manages Biosphere 2 since 2007.
