Antarctica’s ice sheets could totally collapse if the world’s fossil fuels are burnt off, according to a recent climate change simulation. While we are unlikely to see such a dramatic event any time soon, we are already observing big changes and it’s worth considering what the worst case scenario might look like for th...
Crown-of-thorns starfish are huge thorns in the sides of people trying to protect coral reefs. When populations of these coral predators get out of control, they can devastate reefs in dramatic fashion, especially if they are already struggling from pollution, overfishing and warming. Australia, for example, is spendin...
Geomorphology is the study of landforms, their processes, form and sediments at the surface of the Earth (and sometimes on other planets). Study includes looking at landscapes to work out how the earth surface processes, such as air, water and ice, can mould the landscape. Landforms are produced by erosion or depositi...

Differentiation means different. It means different than every other human being. It means, “I’m unique and so are you.” And, it means that, literally, we’ve been different places, we know different things, we’ve read different books, and we’ve listened to different music. More importantly, we think different thoughts,...

The gravitational tidal forces from the moon try to pull the water in the ocean in two directions. First, it can be appreciated that the gravitational pull of moon is stronger in that part of the ocean nearest the moon, than in the solid part of the Earth beneath the ocean, with the result that a bulge of water develop...
A salt meadow is a special habitat type found close to the coast. The area is characterised by low vegetation, which is affected by sea salt from flooding or from the air.

By the late 1930s, it was clear that traditional straight wings and relatively thick airfoils were not suitable for flight approaching the speed of sound. As a result, new swept-back wing shapes were proposed to reduced high drag and other problems which appeared at transonic speeds. One of these new shapes was develop...
Now that's what I call hot! But how hot is it, exactly? If you want to measure the temperature of something as hot as a volcano, an ordinary thermometer isn't any use. Stick the bulb of a mercury thermometer into volcanic lava (which can be well over 1000°C or 1800°F) and you'll get a surprise: the mercury inside will ...
Zion, in the Old Testament, the easternmost of the two hills of ancient Jerusalem.
