By means of a case study of the Palestinian community living in Shabriha, this article demonstrates that the vulnerability to the environmental effects of this waste crisis ultimately stems from a legacy of vio
I’m an environmental economist, so I study how changes in the environment shape a range of human outcomes — health outcomes, economic outcomes, livelihoods more broadly. We’ll talk about the sudden spike in working from home and online learning; about the super-volatile stock markets — ...
The first element, which has stood the test of time, is his view that the child is an active agent of learning and of the importance of this activity in cognitive development. Numerous studies have shown how infants actively scan their environment; how they prefer patterned to non-pattemed o...

Unlike the northern lowland counterparts, its sedimentary makeup likely consists of aquifer-expelled materials, offering a potential window into the nature of Mars' subsurface habitability. Furthermore, the lake’s residue’s estimated age is ~1.1 Ga (~2.3 Ga post-peak aquifer drainage during the...
the nearby town of Muynak the people were still canning fish—brought not from the Aral Sea but shipped by rail through Siberia from the Pacific Ocean, more than a thousand miles away. My search for the underlying causes of the environmental crisis has led me to travel around the world to...
. Thunderstorms produce intense rainfall, lightning and thunder. If the atmospheric instability is very large and there is a large increase in wind strength with altitude (vertical wind shear), the thunderstorm may become severe. A severe thunderstorm can produce flash floods, hail, violent surface...

They also found (modest) iridium anomaly (140 ppt on average) and a fern spore spike, which they suggested were caused by a bolide impact. These authors concluded that an extrinsic environmental catastrophe occurred, which could have been an impact or a flood basalt. The evidence for impact ...
