Highlights From the 2024 Lamont Open House: 75th Anniversary Edition – State of the Planet

Adrienne Day

Last Saturday, over 2,000 visitors streamed through the welcome tent and onto the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory campus for the 2024 edition of Open House—a once-a-year tradition that stretches back decades. This year also marks the 75th anniversary of Lamont, and so guests were treated to a wide variety of installations, experiments and lectures, including (but hardly limited to) a giant inflatable JOIDES Resolution, an augmented reality sandbox, VR games and a “warming stripe” installation, and some classics like bathtub science, exploding volcanoes, art, sticky glacier goo, rocks from space, and lectures on everything from seafloor mapping to nanoplastics, earthquakes to black holes, and so much more!
