god of fire. The people and buildings of Pompeii were covered in up to twelve different layers of soil. Pliny the Younger provides a first-hand account of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius from his position across the Bay of Naples at Misenum, in a version which was written 25 years after the event. The experience must have been etched on his memory given the trauma of the occasion, and the loss of his uncle, Pliny the Elder, with whom he had a close relationship. His uncle lost his life ...

Study Finds More Trees on Farms Than Was Thought

Study Finds More Trees on Farms Than Was Thought

this and to support such efforts. The satellite images may not show what the farmers are using the trees for, but trees provide nuts, fruit, wood and other products. They provide windbreaks and shade from the sun. They also help prevent soil loss and protect water supplies. Even under drought conditions, trees can often provide food and a way to earn money until the next growing season. The important thing, says one expert, is to find the right tree for the right place for the right use. ...

Constructing an ecosan toilet -- A film from UNICEF

major objectives are achieved: -- saving on water, a critically scarce resource -- non-pollution of the environment by human waste, a major cause of disease and loss of human life -- 'closing the nutrient cycle' : the nutrients (primarily Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, and carbon matter) in our excreta goes back into the soil for re-use by plants. Instead of a one-way process where chemicals are mined and used for each crop produced, the same chemicals are returned to the soil for reuse. ...

of waste products and contaminants into surface runoff into river drainage systems, leaching into groundwater, liquid spills, wastewater discharges, eutrophication and littering. * Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground leakage. Among the most significant soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, MTBE, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons. * Radioactive contamination, resulting from 20th century activities in atomic physics, ...

Dance Your PhD: Tropospheric N2O isotopic composition

Dance Your PhD: Tropospheric N2O isotopic composition

. The dance follows the N2O cycle and demonstrates the fractionation of isotopes which will leave a signature in the tropospheric measurements. All three dancers are N2O molecules, starting on the ground in the soil which is the main source of N2O. N2O is emitted from the soil lightest isotope to heaviest, and the dancers "move on up" in this order. In the troposphere N2O acts as a greenhouse gas through the absorption of radiation in 3 vibrational modes. With one hand as a nitrogen atom, ...

The Rape of my Amazon/La Violaion de mi Amazona

New England. Global alarm has arisen because of the changing weather patterns. The loss of forests has a great effect on the global carbon cycle. The extinction of as many as 173 species worldwide is happening every day. The human species acts like a virus -- they move in to a region and use all the resources. Once the land's nutrients necessary for any growing species is gone, the soil dies and the human moves to another region to initiate the same process. ... communications math media ...

Phoenix Briefing (2/2)

manipulate a 7.7-foot arm to scoop up samples of underground ice and soil lying above the ice. Onboard laboratory instruments will analyze the samples. Cameras and a Canadian-supplied weather station will supply other information about the site's environment. One research goal is to assess whether conditions at the site ever have been favorable for microbial life. The composition and texture of soil above the ice could give clues to whether the ice ever melts in response to long-term ...
