Unraveling the Enigma: Exploring the Variability of Flood Inundation at Identical River Stages
Wildlife & BiologyWelcome to this comprehensive article on understanding the variability of flood inundation at the same river stage. Flooding is a natural phenomenon that can cause significant damage to human life, infrastructure, and the environment. It is critical to understand the factors that contribute to the variability of flood inundation, even when the river stage remains

Unveiling Earthquake Secrets: Unlocking P-Wave and S-Wave Velocities Beyond the Travel Time Graph
Wildlife & BiologyGetting Started Earthquakes are natural phenomena that occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust, resulting in seismic waves. These waves can be categorized into different types, including P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). Determining the velocity of these waves is critical to understanding the behavior of earthquakes and

The Silent Shrinking: Unraveling the Catastrophic Decline in Biomass during the ‘Great Dying’ Mass Extinction
Wildlife & Biology1. Getting Started The “Great Dying” refers to the Permian-Triassic extinction event that occurred approximately 252 million years ago and is considered the most severe mass extinction event in Earth’s history. During this event, a significant reduction in biomass occurred, resulting in the loss of approximately 96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate

The Matter Cycle in Ecosystems: Unveiling the Constant Mass Conundrum
Wildlife & BiologyThe cycle of matter in ecosystems: Does it imply a fixed mass? Matter is constantly cycling through ecosystems, undergoing various transformations and transfers between different components of the ecosystem, such as living organisms, the atmosphere, water bodies, and the Earth’s crust. This cycling of matter, also known as biogeochemical cycling, is a fundamental process that
