I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#Slow transit of sediment in Australia’s Murray-Darling river system distorts environmental signal: study” The Paroo River at Eulo, Queensland, in Australia’s Murray-Darling River system.

“#Research reveals how volcanic eruptions affect El Niño” Halema’uma’u, Kilauea volcano, Hawai’i Island. Credit: Mila Zinkova, Wikimedia Commons El Niño events––major warmings of the tropical Pacific Ocean occurring every two to seven years—have significant environmental and societal impacts in North and South America and other parts of the world. Previous research has shown volcanic eruptions…
“#Eruption of Alaska’s Okmok volcano linked to period of extreme cold in ancient Rome” Alaska’s Umnak Island in the Aleutians showing the huge, 10-km wide caldera (upper right) largely created by the 43 BCE Okmok II eruption at the dawn of the Roman Empire.

“#Red Sea climate forecasts: Handle with care” The researchers examined historical datasets to investigate the influence of various global climate patterns on the ones identified in the Red Sea.

“#Satellites have drastically changed how we forecast hurricanes” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The powerful hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas on September 8, 1900, killing an estimated 8,000 people and destroying more than 3,600 buildings, took the coastal city by surprise. The accompanying video looks at advances in hurricane forecasting in the 120 years since, with…
“#When planting trees threatens the forest” Recently planted pine plantation on Chiloe Island, Chile. Credit: Robert Heilmayr Campaigns to plant huge numbers of trees could backfire, according to a new study that is the first to rigorously analyze the potential effects of subsidies in such schemes. The analysis, published on June 22 in Nature Sustainability,…
“#Planting new forests is part of but not the whole solution to climate change” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The large-scale planting of new forests in previously tree-free areas, a practice known as afforestation, is hailed as an efficient way to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere—a so-called natural climate solution. But a new study…
“#We caught bacteria from the most pristine air on earth to help solve a climate modeling mystery” Not all clouds are the same, and climate models have been predicting the wrong kinds of clouds over the Southern Ocean. Credit: Kathryn Moore, CC BY-ND The Southern Ocean is a vast band of open water that encircles…
“#Use of forests to offset carbon emissions requires an understanding of the risks” Increasing climate-driven disturbance risk over time has major impacts on forest carbon. Conceptual diagram of stationary/constant (top) versus non-stationary/increasing (bottom) permanence risks from disturbance at a landscape scale in a changing climate. Disturbance risks are illustrated via circles and include fire, drought,…
“#Why the Mediterranean is a climate change hotspot” Global climate models agree that the Mediterranean area will be significantly drier, potentially seeing 40 percent less precipitation during the winter rainy season in the already parched regions of the Middle East and North Africa.
