Calculating the Horizontal Distance to the Visible Horizon: Exploring the Effects of Earth’s Curvature on Sea Level Observations
Water BodiesObserving the horizon is a common sight for people who live near the coast or are on a boat. The horizon is the apparent line that separates the sky from the land or sea. What many people do not realize is that the apparent horizon they see is not actually flat, but curved. This curvature

The Salinity Puzzle: Deciphering the Ocean’s Salinity During the Last Glacial Maximum
Water BodiesThe Earth’s oceans play a critical role in regulating the planet’s climate. One important factor affecting ocean dynamics is salinity. Salinity is a measure of the amount of dissolved salts in seawater and affects the density and circulation of ocean currents. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), which occurred about 20,000 years ago, the Earth

Exploring the Underlying Causes of Marine Species Loss in IPCC 6
Water BodiesThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific body established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide policy-makers with regular assessments of the science of climate change, its impacts and future risks. The IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) is the most recent comprehensive review of

Mastering Soil Suction: Accurately Estimating Air-Entry Value (AEV) for Hydrogeology Applications
Water BodiesSoils are complex systems of mineral and organic matter that interact with water and air. The behavior of soils under different environmental conditions is critical to a wide range of fields, including hydrogeology, agriculture, civil engineering, and environmental science. One of the most critical parameters describing soil behavior is the air entry value (AEV), which

Perpendicular Discontinuity in Sea Waves: Exploring the Seafloor Dynamics
Water BodiesThe ocean is a vast and dynamic system that is constantly in motion. Waves are an essential part of this system and play a critical role in the transfer of energy and momentum across the ocean. Waves are formed by the interaction of wind with the ocean surface, and their behavior is affected by several

Assessing the Risks: Moving to the Coast in the Face of Rising Sea Levels
Water BodiesThe threat of rising sea levels As the Earth’s climate continues to change, one of the greatest threats we face is rising sea levels. This is due in large part to the melting of the polar ice caps, which is causing the oceans to rise at an alarming rate. According to a report by the
