Fabien Roquet, a Professor in Physical Oceanography at the University of Gothenburg and co-author of the research, said: “This upwelling helps to explain how the sea ice might melt. But as sea ice melts this leads to a freshening of the surface water, which should in turn put a stop to...
Across the stable density stratification of the abyssal ocean, deep dense water is slowly propelled upward by sustained, though irregular, turbulent mixing. The resulting mean upwelling determines large-scale oceanic circulation properties like heat and
Urban form and structure are concepts in urban planning and geography that describe the physical layout and organization of cities13,14,15. Urban form pertains to the physical aspects of the urban environment and its various elements. We measured minority segregation, income segregation, population ...
Methods in physical geography (study of surface processes) and geology (subsurface processes) are often applied separately. However the governing physical processes are strongly coupled so that an integration of these two disciplines provides a unique opportunity to gain an encompassing understanding of ...

Natural resources are materials of value that we derive from the Earth. Natural resources are important because they can provide fuel, shelter, and food for us. Use of Natural Resources:Some areas are relatively rich in some types of natural resources, while other areas are relatively poor in...
Our results provide a basis to improve the representation of dead wood decomposition in carbon cycle assessments. Keywords: standing dead wood; snag fall; woody decomposition; literature review; re-analysis 1. Introduction Global forest ecosystems are a significant part of the global carbon cycle, ...
Even in one place, the air pressure is constantly changing. That's because Earth is constantly spinning and moving round the Sun, so different parts are being warmed up by different amounts. When the air cools and falls, it increases the pressure nearer to the ground. Regions of high press...
Anyone delving into the literature on extremism and related phenomena, such as fundamentalism, conspiracy theorizing, and terrorism, will soon note that there is a wide variety of often seemingly c...
Providing a mechanism for dense water to slowly rise from the deep ocean1,2, internal wave-driven vertical mixing is generally believed to be one of the main drivers of the oceanic circulation2,3. It thus shapes the Earth's climate4–6, influencing, among others, sea level rise7, ...
