Submerged Summits: Exploring Mountains with Peaks Below Sea Level
MountainsMountains and hills are some of the most awe-inspiring natural features on the planet. They have played a crucial role in shaping the physical landscape of the Earth for millions of years. However, when we think of mountains, we tend to imagine them as towering peaks rising above the surrounding terrain. This begs the question:
Integrating MIKE-SHE Hydrological Model: Exporting SZ Flow to Inform Boundary Conditions in Nested Models
ModelsThe MIKE-SHE hydrological model is a powerful tool for simulating the hydrological cycle in catchments and has been widely used in various environmental studies. One of the key features of the model is its ability to simulate groundwater-surface water interaction through the so-called SZ (Saturated Zone) flow. However, when modeling large catchments, the computational cost
Decoding GFS Parameter Averaging Times for Accurate Weather Forecasting
GfsThe Global Forecast System (GFS) is a numerical weather prediction model used to forecast weather conditions around the world. It is one of the most widely used weather models due to its accuracy and ability to provide forecasts up to 16 days in advance. The GFS model uses a complex set of equations and algorithms
MIKE HYDRO: Simulating Real-World Hydrodynamics for Improved Earthscience Modeling
ModelsHydrodynamics is the study of fluids and their motion. It plays a crucial role in geoscience modeling because it helps us understand the behavior of water in rivers, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water. MIKE HYDRO is a powerful hydrodynamic modeling software that is widely used in the field of earth sciences. It is
Why the Actual Heat from Human Combustion Processes is Ignored in Discussions of Climate Change and Global Warming
Into Account The Actual Heat From Human Combustion Processes?Climate change and global warming are two of the most pressing issues facing the world today. The scientific consensus is clear: human activity, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, is the primary driver of these phenomena. However, there is a lesser-known factor that is often overlooked in discussions of climate change and global warming: the
Unearthing the Truth: Examining Geologic Layers to Prove the Absence of Subterranean Life
Geologic LayersExploring the possibility of subsurface life is an intriguing topic that has fascinated scientists for decades. However, proving the absence of life underground is equally important in the realm of Earth science. The discovery of life forms in the subsurface can have significant implications, especially in the context of understanding the origin and evolution of

Exploring Earth’s Rotation: Is It Responsible for Unique Winds and Waves?
Earth RotationThe Coriolis Effect and the Rotation of the Earth The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth’s rotation that causes moving objects to appear to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. The effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth, which causes a
Why Statistical Wavelets Persist in Well Ties Despite the Advantages of Deterministic Wavelets: A Seismic Earth Science Perspective
SeismicSeismic well logs are an essential aspect of the oil and gas industry. They are used to correlate seismic data with well log data to provide a more accurate understanding of subsurface geology. Wavelet analysis is a common method used in seismic well ties to extract the low frequency signal from the high frequency noise
Quantifying the Global Water Cycle: How Much Water is Absorbed by the Atmosphere?
Water VapourThe Earth’s atmosphere is a complex system that plays a critical role in regulating the planet’s climate and supporting life. One of its most important functions is to cycle water through the hydrological system, which includes the oceans, land, and atmosphere. Water in the atmosphere is in the form of water vapor, which is the
