Geoengineering the California Water Crisis: Desalination of Pacific Ocean Water

The California Water Crisis California is a state with a long history of water scarcity. The state is home to over 39 million people and as a result has a high demand for water. However, the state’s natural water supply has been dwindling for years due to a combination of factors including climate change, groundwater

Why East Pacific Cyclones/Hurricanes Fizzle Out: Unraveling the Mystery

Surface sediments play a critical role in the global carbon cycle because they store a significant amount of organic carbon. Biogeochemists often measure the amount of carbon stored in surface sediments in kilograms per square meter (kg/m2). However, it is sometimes necessary to convert this value to percent, which can be a challenging task for

The Role of Ekman’s Theory in Understanding Gulf Stream Depth: Insights from Ocean Models

The Gulf Stream is a powerful ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows northward along the east coast of the United States before turning east toward Europe. Its warm waters have a significant impact on the climate and weather patterns of the regions it passes through, making it an important area

Why does the sandstone in Yehliu and other scenic coastal northern Taiwan look like vanilla fudge swirl ice cream?

Taiwan’s northern coast is home to spectacular geological wonders, including the unique sandstone formations found in Yehliu Geopark. These sandstone formations have a distinctive appearance, resembling vanilla fudge swirl ice cream. The question that arises is why these sandstone formations have this particular appearance. In this article, we explore the science behind the vanilla fudge

Developing a Piecewise Continuous Analytical Model for Earth’s Radial Density Profile for Accurate Numerical Integration in Structural Geology

The internal structure and composition of the Earth have been of interest to scientists for many years. The radial density profile of the Earth is an important parameter in understanding the internal structure of the planet. The density profile can be used to infer information about the Earth’s composition, such as the relative abundance of

The Impact of a Geostationary Moon on Earth’s Environment and Tides

The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite, and it plays a crucial role in our planet’s environment. It affects the tides, stabilizes the Earth’s axial tilt, and provides a natural satellite for scientific research. But what if the Moon were geostationary, that is, always in the same place in the sky? In this article, we
