Scientists have discovered that the Earth is not a perfect sphere and is instead an “oblate spheroid,” according to an area of mathematics concerned with its measurement. At the poles, the Earth flattens out by 0.0033528. The rotational velocity of the Earth causes the planet to bulge at ...
Astonishingly, between 1993 and 2009 alone, an area of terrestrial wilderness larger than India -- a staggering 3.3 million square km -- was lost to human settlement, farming, mining and other pressures. The picture is even bleaker in ocean areas. According to the study, more than 87 percen...

A low Earth Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) is an orbit in which a satellite has the same position relative to theSunand thus passes over the same region of Earth at the same time every day. This allows for the study of changes to a specific area of Earth over time. For example, satellit...
2.1. Study Area During the sampling campaign in October 2016, an attempt was made to collect different edible wild mushroom species from the urban and forest areas (Table 1); mushrooms of a particular species were collected from different locations, and different species were collected from each ...
In areas where the elevation changes more rapidly (mountain regions), the frequency of the phase wrapping increases. Generally, the higher the wrapping frequency, the more difficult the area is to be unwrapped. Phase flattening can enhance phase unwrapping. However, in the areas where the ...
