Antarctic extreme events: ‘All-time records are being shattered not from decades ago, but from the last few years and months’

Frontiers

A new study published in Frontiers in Environmental Science has revealed that, in addition to the influence of gradual global heating, Antarctica is increasingly affected by extreme environmental events; a recognized and predicted outcome of our heating world. The world’s largest ever heatwave (38.5C

Extreme Deep: Mission to the Abyss

Academy of Natural Sciences

And even though she herself didn’t make all of the displays, it was still really cool to take a first-hand look at what they could use. One fascinating fact that I learned and found interesting was that we didn’t know more sooner, with all of the amazing animals that were all stuck at the bottom of the ocean.

Climate Change and Me

Academy of Natural Sciences

With the Philadelphia area trending towards warmer average temperatures as a result of climate change, it will be important to have ample opportunities for people to stay cool and recreate safely. Sea-level rise caused by the warming ocean means that there is no beach at high tide at several Jersey and Delaware coast points.

Brood X Cicadas, Pt 1

Academy of Natural Sciences

And their appearance — red eyes and orange and black bodies – are so cool, and make some of us think about another season — Halloween! Text, images and video by Jon Gelhaus, PhD, Curator of Entomology at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University and professor, Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Sciences.

Physics: The Science of the Universe and Everything In It

Environmental Science

Today, it overlaps with many other sciences and has had a profound impact on the environmental sciences just as chemistry has. It also underpins the physical sciences by providing the theoretical framework on which it may base its own assumptions and basic theoretical models. How Physics Applies to Environmental Science.

Geology: Examining the Planet’s Physical Processes

Environmental Science

Most scientists, stuck with the models of Newtonian Physics, calculated how long it would take for the Earth to cool to current temperatures. That includes coastal floodplains, continental boundaries, beaches, river estuaries and lakes that empty into oceans (24). Sponsored Content. Methods in Geology. Mineralogy.

The Fuss about Methane

Legal Planet

First, underwater – in the sediments on the bottom of swamps, lakes, and the ocean. The issue is that total human radiative forcing includes several parts that heat and some that cool, so counting separate heating contributions like this leaving out the cooling parts gives too much heating.).
