The purpose of this article was to examine the role climate change played in the multiple natural disasters that occurred this season. Amanda Paulson, a Staff writer at the Christian Science Monitor, wrote the article Fire and floods: Did climate play a role in this fall's disaster? on October 13, 2017. Paulson points out climate scientists agree the warming of our climate has set the conditioning to warrant the abrupt climate changes and all the extreme events, we’ve seen lately. Scientists…

by animals who become sick and causes a decrease in population which can affect many environmental chains such as the food chain. Random weather patterns have killed crops and other environmental structures. According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, cyclones and other dangerous natural disasters have caused farmers mayhem as they are unable to produce crops in poor climates, therefore results in many other human methods to be able to feed a nation easily. Additionally, climate change is…

Imagine flying thousands of feet in the air, performing open heart surgery on a patient, without the proper tools, and under a lot of pressure. Working under the pressure of successfully treating a patient is something that naval flight surgeons must face almost daily. A flight surgeon primarily practices preventive medicine. Their job consists of a balance between the practice of medicine, the profession of aviation, and the study of hyperbaric medicine. A surgeon requires several skill, some…

Commercial Pilot vs. Surgeon Think about it, would you rather fly an airplane or perform surgery to potentially save a life? A commercial pilot or surgeon are two careers that I have researched. A commercial pilot and flying a plane is a job that I would enjoy doing, and being a surgeon performing surgery to help out people that are in need of it is another job that interests me. They are the same in the sense that they both must have very good communication skills. However, they differ in the…

Climate change is one of the main concerns of the contemporary world due its various impacts in social, economic and environmental dimensions. One of the consequences of this global phenomenon is the change of availability of water resources through the planet, resulting in water-stressed regions. Therefore, water security has been increasingly approached in decision making processes on politics and, in order to adapt to this new reality, some measures must be taken on infrastructure such as the…

Saipan is a small Island in the Pacific Ocean with about 65,000 inhabitants. It is the capital of the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This is the least known territories of the United States with diverse cultures, year-round tropical weather, historical significance as well as natural beauty. As a point of fact, Saipan has fantastic facts as well as unique features since it is about 3 hours from Japan, 5 hours from Shanghai, China, 4 hours from Korea, 15 hours from…

This activity helped me learn new things about different types of studies, such as Archeology and Meteorology. I found out that butterflies can emerge from cocoons in space and zero gravity, so cool! Scientist named this experiment “butterflies in space”, which is a very simple name for such an astounding moment. I also learned that the k-T Boundary is…

higher amounts of rainfall annually, between 700 mm to 1,400 mm, as well as oceanic wind/ gust/ gale which depending on the season can be very cool (refer to data collected on field study in appendix 4 and tables sourced from the NSW Bureau of Meteorology in appendix…

of space. The United States current and future role in space is vital to our national security, science and technology, economy, educational institutes, and our national pride. U.S. initial space functions developed in 1958 include navigation, meteorology, communication, missile detection, space defense and reconnaissance. These core functions have not significantly changed from the Reagan-era to the current President Obama administration. President Ronald Reagan’s Space Policies, Issues and…

Forty were in the auditory narration group, and thirty-eight were in the auditory text group. None of the participants had any experience in meteorology. The materials for this experiment consisted of two computer programs. The first computer program contained an animation that illustrated the formation of lightning, paired simultaneously with an auditory explanation of the formation of lighting…
