Focusing on the hydrosphere, it encompasses all of Earth’s water, which is crucial for life. This sphere includes surface water, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans; groundwater that saturates the soil and rock beneath our feet; ice and snow found in polar regions and mountain peaks; and ...
This review provides a summary of methods originated in (non-equilibrium) statistical mechanics and information theory, which have recently found successful applications to quantitatively studying complexity in various components of the complex system Ea
For instance, 14 photodiodes will be used to measure the TSI but also solar radiation in the ultraviolet range, whose variability directly impacts the ozone layer and the temperatures in the middle atmosphere. INSPIRE-SAT 7 will also operate the first Li-Fi (or Light Fidelity) module in orbit...
For a planet to be considered potentially life-friendly, it must be relatively small and rocky, and it must orbit within the habitable or "Goldilocks" zone of its star. This zone is loosely defined as a region where water can exist in liquid form on the planet's surface. As telescope te...
And his client is the Earth. With Client Earth, we travel from Poland to Ghana, from Alaska to China, to see how citizens can use public interest law to protect their planet. Foundations and philanthropists support the law group ClientEarth because they see, plainly and brightly, that the ...
