In the Arizona desert, scientists conduct studies and experiments aimed
to help us better understand our environment and what sort of things are
happening to it due to climate change. The location is Biosphere 2, an
immense structure that contains a replica ocean, savannah, and
rainforest, among other Earth biomes. It's a unique take on the
Scientists in the Field mission statement -- in this case, the lab is a
replica that allows the scientists to conduct large-scale experiments
that would otherwise be impossible.
