To extract mercury, crushed ore was heated in furnaces and transformed into a vapor. As the gas cooled and condensed, it turned into a liquid form known as quicksilver, which is naturally attracted to gold.

Scientists say that more effort should be put into testing wine varieties new to California that might do well as temperatures climb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a warming climate we need more diversity,” said Walker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the world’s largest wine and beer companies, Constellation Brands, is collaborating with UC Davis on research into warm-climate varieties. They’re testing grapes like Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot, which are somewhat known in California already, and some more obscure varieties like white wine grapes Fiano and Petit Manseng, said UC Davis’ Matthew Fidelibus, in charge of the trials at the university’s Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center, in Parlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But whether or not wines made from these grapes catch on depends not just on whether researchers can produce good-quality grapes and abundant yields. Marketing and economics are key, said Walker. And for now, wines like Pinot Noir, which are fetching a good price for growers and are popular at the store, reign supreme, climate predictions aside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This video, originally posted on July 31, 2007, was updated on Jan. 6, 2015.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More from QUEST:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/2014/12/30/warm-temps-mean-less-snow-for-the-sierra/\">Warm Temps Mean Less Snow for the Sierra\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/science/2014/12/08/californias-drought-is-it-global-warming/\">California’s Drought: Is it Global Warming?\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/quest/17385/napa-wineries-face-global-warming","authors":["6186"],"categories":["quest_6","quest_9","quest_3229"],"tags":["quest_621","quest_12269","quest_1224","quest_10663","quest_9991","quest_13","quest_13112","quest_2893","quest_3071","quest_3171","quest_13113"],"featImg":"quest_73664","label":"source_quest_17385"},"quest_26897":{"type":"posts","id":"quest_26897","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"quest","id":"26897","score":null,"sort":[1419951657000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"why-i-do-science-kandis-elliot","title":"Why I Do Science: Kandis Elliot","publishDate":1419951657,"format":"video","headTitle":"Why I do Science | QUEST | KQED Science","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_27612\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 240px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/11/Elliot_MODIFICATIONS_poster.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-27612\" title=\"Elliot_MODIFICATIONS_poster\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/11/Elliot_MODIFICATIONS_poster-240x360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plant Modifications poster by Kandis Elliot.
