Tine valencic biography

Twelve-year-old Rishi Nair showed his global knowledge at Wednesday's finals of the 2016 National Geographic Bee.

Two and a half million fourth to eighth graders competed in the bee, but only the top finisher from each state, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories got to travel to Washington for the national championships -- with an $85,000 college scholarship on the line, reports CBS News correspondent Chip Reid.

The road to the championship was long. After answering hundreds of questions, this year's final 10 faced the cameras and turned the table on bee moderator, Mo Rocca.

At the National Geographic headquarters, kids and parents were treated to a rock star welcome.

It was a satisfying moment for 13-year-old Grace Rembert from Montana, who finished just outside the top 10 in 2015.

"I was just so happy that I finally made it," she said.

It was also a second chance for 12-year-old Kapil Nathan who finished ninth in last year's bee.

"When they did the U.S. questions, they

Within ten years of the diversion, Owens Lake dried up and caused numerous air quality and sustainability issues. As the L.A. Department of Water and Power continues efforts to revive Owens Lake amid climate change by recharging the groundwater basin, we will apply a new technology, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), to advance the groundwater monitoring and management in the Owens valley. DAS converts fiber optic cables around the lake into sensitive seismic arrays with which we can measure mechanical changes of rocks caused by groundwater fluctuations. The time-dependent seismic images of the aquifers under Owens Lake will add a new dimension to our ability to measure the injection, withdrawal and intra-basin movement of groundwater, with the goal that these tools will help ensure
