How dinosaurs evolved into birds Birds that fill the world's skies today are living dinosaurs, reminders of a distant and strange past. Decades of major new discoveries and studies have convinced researchers that there is a direct link between modern bird species and theropod dinosaurs. Once dinosaurs were thought of as scaled-up lizards, but now they are regarded very differently. Paul says, 'Dinosaurs have always sparked the imagination, but our views on these spectacular animals have changed continually through time.
How to resurrect a sea dragon A long-dead sea dragon and Jurassic mystery, Rhomaleosaurus cramptoni is known only from bones preserved for millions of years in mudstone rocks. It roamed seas and lagoons at the same time as dinosaurs dominated the land, and died out more than 180 million years ago. But thanks to the latest technology, viewers anywhere in the world can get a close look at the ancient reptile. Palaeontologists have revived the animal for Rhomaleosaurus: Back to Life in Virtual Reality, an experience created by the Museum in collaboration with Google Arts & Culture. Rhomaleosaurus is brought back to life as water floods the Museum, allowing the huge reptile to swim alongside the virtual visitor. Angela Milner, a Scientific Associate at the Museum, was one of the scientists who created the experience.
360° fossil-hunting adventure Britain's rocks hold a fascinating record of the country's prehistoric past, ready for you to unearth. It's a fun challenge to search for fossils and identify what and how old they are. In the 360° video above, Alison Ferris, a warden at Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre, takes a group of students fossil collecting on the beach by Black Ven cliff, where there are lots of treasures to find from the Jurassic Period. Mary Anning found many of her amazing fossils of marine creatures here. So you want to be a fossil hunter? A good way to get started is to go on a guided fossil walk.

Mary Anning: the unsung hero of fossil discovery Mary Anning was born in 1799 in Lyme Regis, in the southwest English county of Dorset. Lyme Regis is now part of what is now called the Jurassic Coast, and discoveries are still being made to this day. While Mary was growing up, George III was king, the war between the British and Napoleon's French army was raging on and Jane Austen had written Sense and Sensibility.

In 1910, the daring Terra Nova expedition to Antarctica launched with surgeon and zoologist George Murray Levick on board to document the barren environment’s wildlife. His resulting journals detail the crew’s dangerous journey of survival through the Antarctic, as Levick camped on the ice for seven months in 1912. But the notebooks also contain writings on the peculiar sexual behavior Levick witnessed among the area’s Adélie penguin colony.

On Mount Everest, Seeking Biogas Energy in a Mountain of Waste Nestled in the shadow of the world's tallest mountain, the tiny village of Gorak Shep has a very messy problem. The Sherpa community literally is running out of space to put human feces from the Everest, Pomori, Lhoste, and Nupste base camps. Each year, porters haul more than 12 metric tons of excrement down the mountains and dump it into open pits at Gorak Shep. A spring 2012 National Science Foundation (NSF) survey found contamination of one of the two major sources that supply water at Gorak Shep. A volunteer group of Seattle-based engineers is working on an innovative solution to the problem, one that also will provide a big energy benefit. Earlier this month, they completed a design for a biogas reactor to convert climbers' feces into methane gas to serve as a cooking fuel for the Sherpa villagers.
Biofuels, from ethanol to biodiesel, facts and information Biofuels have been around as long as cars have. At the start of the 20th century, Henry Ford planned to fuel his Model Ts with ethanol, and early diesel engines were shown to run on peanut oil. But discoveries of huge petroleum deposits kept gasoline and diesel cheap for decades, and biofuels were largely forgotten. However, with the recent rise in oil prices, along with growing concern about global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, biofuels have been regaining popularity.
