Ecology is a branch of biology that deals with the scientific analysis of how organisms are distributed, their abundance, interactions, and relations in and with their respective environments. Some of the critical areas of focus include animal and plant populations, animal and plant communities, and...

In many cities, in addition to cultural and historical attractions, the coastal zone deserves special attention, not to visit which means to miss a lot of interesting and worthwhile. We propose to make a promenade through the most picturesque embankments of the world: from France...

This is a very important topic up for debate since it relates to carbon dioxide emissions and climate change, a massive part of our environment in today’s 21st century. I feel that using Olson’s theory of Collective Action, we learn a lot about how policy...

Earth’s magnetic field, albeit generated approximately 2,000 miles below the surface, protects the planet’s atmosphere from space radiation and solar wind. It is essential, then, for life. The strength of the magnetic field, though, is rapidly decreasing; in the past 300 years alone, its strength...

EUTROPHICATION DEFINITION: Eutrophication is when the environment becomes enriched with nutrients. All living things need specific nutrients to live. Because too many or too few can cause problems, nature does a good job of providing the right amount of nutrients. This is true in aquatic...

Spectral curves vary between reflectance and radiance based on whether data has been atmospherically corrected. The comparison between spectral profiles shows that bands were largely affected by atmospheric scattering. The reason of this occurrence was probably because of the nature of atmospheric aerosol and water...
