light on the exact process. “When you have a melting slab of ice, it can either melt from above because the atmosphere is getting warmer or it can melt from below because the ocean is warm,” explains lead Thompson, the assistant professor of environmental science and engineering at Caltech. “All of our evidence points to ocean…

A problem in our community is littering. It’s a problem because people don’t care about our community and thinks it’s alright to litter. People in our community litter because they’ll be driving down the road and don’t want to put it in their car so they will just throw it out the window.

In certain high latitude regions such as the Arctic Ocean, the surface waters are actually colder than the deep waters and the halocline, which isolates the surface waters from the deep waters, is responsible for maintaining water column stability. The halocline is important in allowing for the…

As you know your company produces a lot of bottles, and all of the bottles are made out of a plastic called PET which is a petroleum based plastic…

encountering increments in ocean ice degree. However in others, ocean ice is diminishing, with quantifiable effects on untamed life. ASOC trusts that understanding environmental change impacts on Antarctica involves basic significance for the world and for the landmass itself. Neighborhood Antarctic impacts of environmental change are just piece of the issue.…

“CAPTAIN WE'RE GOING TO HIT IT” the captain (F. R. M. Crozier) quickly turned the helm and released the anchor, but it was too late they crashed right into the ice.
