Nice surprise

Surprise! Today’s Knoxville News Sentinel business section features a full-page spread about my husband, Rich Norby, and the ORNL research experiment he heads up. There’s an article and a large diagram of the FACE (free-air CO2 enrichment) facility where a stand of sweetgum trees is exposed to elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide in studies intended to understand how the future atmosphere will affect plant growth and carbon storage in forest ecosystems.

This came as a nice surprise — Rich did not realize that reporter Frank Munger (who talked with him recently) was preparing an article for publication. Positive attention is always appreciated, though.
