What is happening to glaciers in the Arctic region? How large is the Arctic Circle? Which areas of Greenland are covered in ice? Which areas of Greenland are not covered in ice? What characterizes a cold glacier? Is Iceland in the Arctic region?
The most significant decrease of relative humidity is found in the Amazon (−1.7%), particularly over the southeastern edge of the rainforests called the “Arc of Deforestation,” where extensive land cover/use changes are happening. Central North America and Mediterranean regions also display ...
Afforestation isn't as simple as just planting trees. Depending on the quality of the soil and especially the topsoil, some site preparation is usually necessary. If a duripan (a hard, near-impenetrable surface to the soil) has formed, that needs to be broken up and the soil aerated. In...
The hijacking of public language, as is happening now, is a way to shift perception—to bend and control thought—and must be resisted. I would like to invite readers to join me in doing this. Get a diary or journal and write down as many words as you can that relate to the things...
According to a study in the journal Biogeosciences, even central Chad and western Sudan are benefiting from this climate change. Experts believe that this is happening because hotter air can hold more moisture, thereby aiding to create more rain. What has yet to be seen is sustainability. If ...
A more complete picture of the actual changes happening in the Sahel region could be achieved by taking into account these scaling issues. As we hypothesize that the shallow soils present all over the Sahel may experience consequent changes such as the ones observed in the Gourma region, we ...
