The 2006 Exploring Space Lecture Series theme was "This Island Earth" and featured four world-class scholars discussing the dramatic changes the Earth is undergoing and their work to try and explain such changes and the damage that may result, relying on the data gathered from space to better understand our small, fragile planet.
