General Knowledge & EducationDiving Deep: Exploring the Secrets of the Avra Valley Aquifer The Avra Valley in Arizona – picture a long, wide basin stretching for miles – isn’t just another pretty landscape. It’s home to a crucial water source: the Avra Valley Aquifer. And if you live in or around Tucson, understanding this aquifer is vital for
Did global temperature increase or drop in the last 2 years (2017-2018)?
Weather & ForecastsGlobal Temperatures: What Really Happened in 2017 and 2018? Let’s talk about the Earth’s climate – it’s a beast, right? Trying to make sense of temperature changes can feel like reading tea leaves. But understanding whether things are generally heating up or cooling down is super important. So, what about 2017 and 2018? Did we
Do overlying strata subside before/during volcanic exogenous dome emplacement?
Geology & LandformSo, Does the Ground Sink Before a Lava Dome Pops Up? Let’s Dig In. Ever watched a volcano and wondered what’s happening underneath all that fire and ash? One of the big questions volcanologists wrestle with is: what happens to the ground around a growing lava dome? Does it just sit there, or does it
When was it ever considered that the desert might be “man-made”, or otherwise anthropocenically-induced?
Human ImpactWhen Did We Start Thinking We Were Making Deserts? So, the idea that we humans might actually create deserts – turning green lands into barren wastelands – it’s not exactly new. We’re not just talking about deserts that pop up naturally; the question is, when did we start thinking our actions could be the cause?
The Science-Backed Path to Climate Change Mitigation: Unveiling the Most Cost-Effective Solution
Climate & Climate ZonesThe Science-Backed Path to Climate Change Mitigation: Unveiling the Most Cost-Effective Solution Okay, let’s talk climate change. It’s not just some distant threat; it’s happening now, fueled by all the greenhouse gases we’re pumping into the atmosphere. To avoid a full-blown catastrophe, we’ve got to get serious about mitigation – that is, slashing those emissions.
