Sea ice

The wind whipped bitterly by and I pulled up the fabric on my face, looking forward at the ski track in front of me. I knew the race ahead was important, but all I was concerned about in that moment was how frigid my legs felt. He turned around and I jumped, ever so slightly, because when his face had been revealed, I could see the stark horror of the burns on his face. I was talking on the phone with my sister who was on a cruise to the Bahamas, when unexpectedly a loud HONK interrupted our…

As it can be seen in the previous figure, the Bubble Column PBR is a simple conceptual design. The figure simply illustrates the basic flow in the column. The gas enters the bottom of the column through a diffuser causing the gas to break into thousands of small bubbles making it easier for the algae to absorb the carbon dioxide in the gas. Once the algae have consumed as much carbon dioxide as it can, it releases oxygen in the form of gas, which leaves the column through the opening in the…

Glaciers are one of the most vital physical features we find on the planet that regulate many of its natural systems ranging from the Earth’s oceans to the atmosphere. Glaciers cover over ten present of the worlds surface area and store roughly seventy-five percent of the world’s fresh water supply, making it an essential component for the planet’s hydrologic cycle (Bennett, 2017). Throughout recent geologic history, glaciers have had a profound effect on the landscape, topography, and climate…

So in the short story account the teenaged boy broke through the thin ice and was holding onto the surrounding ice, wet, half frozen, fatigued and afraid. He clung to the edges of the remaining ice pack all by himself in this freezing nightmare with no others around to offer him any assistance out of this frigid hole. In this apparent hopeless state he considered many times to release his grip and let go of any chance of rescue. No one came nearby for him to call for attention so he felt all was…

Take a closer look at the changeable current of the river, still waves of the sea or the stormy ocean: they hide many secrets, yet when one knows he is ready to deep a toe into the seemingly treacherous water – that is where the journey begins, and it is a matter of decision how one handles the swim. Either staying afloat, diving deep or going with the flow requires actions. In his book “The Alchemist”, Paulo Coelho states that the only way to endure life is through the action. Although one may…

In the boat stealing scene, readers see the alienation and exploration of the natural world previously discussed. “I went alone into a Shepherd’s boat,” says Wordsworth, establishing his solitude before any other aspect of the experience (1.82). In this scene, Wordsworth is closest to the “blessed babe” state. For this reason, he has little windows during which he comes close to encountering the Real. “Leaving behind her [the boat] still on either side / Small circles glittering idly in the moon…

Globally, at least 23% of marine mammal species, 36% of seabird species, and 86% of sea turtle species are known to be affected by plastic debris (Sigler, 2014). Plastic can choke, reduce growth, drown animals, and spread invasive species. More so, the large amount of plastics found in the Earth’s oceans is killing large amounts of plankton…

observation was conducted of a single ice cube in water. While confounding, this particular experiment –as is promised by observations of all types- certainly provided some interesting results when employing the five senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, taste, and even when noting emotional states of the observer. Initially,…
