Unusual Suspects: Investigating the Possibility of Intelligent Life as a Cause of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
Climate & Climate ZonesThe Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is one of the most significant climate events in Earth’s history, during which the Earth’s temperature rose by 5-8 degrees Celsius over a period of about 20,000 years. The cause of the PETM is still debated, but most scientists believe it was caused by a massive release of carbon dioxide

Unlocking the Mystery: Why Foraminifera, Not Diatoms, Hold the Key to Temperature Proxies in Earth’s Climate
Climate & Climate ZonesTemperature proxies are essential tools for understanding the Earth’s past climate. They are used to reconstruct past temperature records by analyzing the chemical and physical properties of natural archives such as corals, tree rings, and sedimentary records. Foraminifera and diatoms are two types of microorganisms that have been used as temperature proxies in sedimentary archives.

Does Solar Energy Contribute to Atmospheric Expansion Along with Global Warming?
Climate & Climate ZonesThe Earth’s atmosphere is an essential component of our planet’s climate system. It is a complex mixture of gases that plays a critical role in regulating the planet’s temperature, protecting life from harmful radiation, and supporting weather and climate patterns. The atmosphere is heated by the sun, which radiates energy in the form of visible

Ensuring Water Balance in Urban Infrastructure Construction: Compensating for Water Extraction in Concrete Curing
Climate & Climate ZonesProblem Overview Concrete curing is an essential process in the construction of infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and buildings. During the curing process, water is added to the concrete mix to help it harden and gain strength. However, this water is often withdrawn from the water cycle and can have a significant impact on
