Exploring the Possibility of Coal Reserves Beneath the Sahara Desert
Wildlife & BiologyVegetation indices are mathematical formulas used to measure the health and productivity of vegetation. They are widely used in remote sensing applications to monitor changes in vegetation cover, crop health, and land use. Vegetation indices are calculated using information from satellite images that measure the amount of light reflected from the Earth’s surface in different

The Science Behind Smokey Weather: Understanding the Causes of Extreme Air Pollution
Wildlife & BiologyWhen we think of extreme weather, we often picture hurricanes, tornadoes, and blizzards. But extreme air pollution can also have a significant impact on our health and the environment. “Smokey” weather is a term used to describe hazy, polluted air that can cause respiratory problems and reduce visibility. In this article, we’ll explore the causes
