My article was about a nickel eating plant that has recently been found. This plant has not been long found and it is already in danger. They are found on the Luzon Island in the Philippines. They only cover about 500 square meters of the island. They are found growing in soil rich with nickel.These plants grow to be about 8-meters-tall.
Simple new technique to form interlocking beads of water in ambient conditions could prove valuable for applications in biological sensing, membrane research and harvesting water from fog. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method to create air-stable water droplet networks known as droplet interface bilayers. These interconnected water droplets have many roles in biological research because their interfaces simulate cell membranes. Cumbersome fabrication methods, however, have limited their use. nstead of injecting water droplets into an oil bath, the ORNL research team experimented with placing the droplets on a superhydrophobic surface infused with a coating of oil. The droplets aligned side by side without merging.
The first-ever fossil proof of dramatic global cooling after the cosmic impact that ended the Age of Dinosaurs has been discovered.The darkness and cold from the dust and ash thrown up by the giant collision was likely the main driver of the resulting mass die-off, known as the K-T extinction, scientists say. This extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period finished the reign of the dinosaurs. The only dinosaurian survivors were the birds; other reptiles such as turtles and crocodiles survived as well, although these are not descended from dinosaurs.
manipulator arms on MBARI's remotely operated vehicle Doc Ricketts preparing to collect one of 36 bundles of acacia wood that was placed on the deep seafloor, 3,200 meters below the surface. The arm on the right has picked up the wood bundle by its yellow rope handle. This bundle will be placed inside the white collecting bag being held by the left-hand manipulator arm. This bundle will be placed inside the white collecting bag being held by the left-hand manipulator arm. In the background are four "push cores" used to collect samples of seafloor sediment from around the bundle.

The post I chose to read is about the collision of an meteor with earth that killed out all dinosaurs. the fossils found are revealing post-Asteroid cold snap doomed dinosaurs.The impact from the meteor was so intense that it blew dust into the atmosphere, which blocked out the sunlight. No energy was able to reach earth. The air heated and caused global wildfires shortly after the meteor. More that 50% of the population on Earth was wiped out.
My article was about a proposal to help lighten the load of public transportation. The idea is to use boats, or water buses, as a means of public transportation. The water buses help cut down on the load on land based transportation. Another great thing about the use of water buses is that it is much more efficient than the use of actual buses. Karl Garme , researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology’s Department of Aeronautical and Vehicle Engineering has a project called the Waterway 365. The Waterway 365 helps show that water buses help reduce the load on land based transportation without doing harm to the environment. With this means of transportation travel time can be cut down by at least a third. The plan for the water buses is for them to be ran all year round. However, special modifications have to be made to ensure it be possible. Removable steel hulls will have to be placed on the boats during the winter to help break up ice to allow boat travel. The boats are a great idea due to the fact they are energy efficient, effective and efficiently produced.
The rising levels of carbon dioxide delivers rain to southern Australia, but pushing them further south towards Antartica. Nerilie Abram said that the findings explained the mystery over why Antartica was not warming as much as the Artica, and why Australia faces more droughts. In the article it stated that Antartica is stealing more of Australia's rainfall because of the greenhouse warming. Also Dr. Abram says as the westerly winds are getting tighter they're actually more of the cold air over Antartica. In the end Dr. Abram and her colleagues were able to extend the history of the westerly winds back over the last millennium, by analysing ice cores from Antartica, along with data from tree rings and lakes in South America.
Scientists re-examined 100 world-wide monitoring studies and were surprised to discover that, over decades, the number of species in many places has not changed much – or has increased. But the researchers did discover that almost 80% of the communities showed changes in species composition. This shows that a rapid global turnover of species is happening, resulting in novel biological communities. The scientists conclude that biodiversity change may be as large a concern as biodiversity loss. On May 6, the White House released its National Climate Assessment noting that, as a result of human-caused warming, “species, including many iconic species, may disappear from regions where they have been prevalent or become extinct, altering some regions so much that their mix of plant and animal life will become almost unrecognizable.” This study in Science, published on April 18, underlines this emerging reality, giving it a new and worrisome precision and leading Nick Gotelli and his co-authors to conclude that there “is need to expand the focus of research and planning from biodiversity loss to biodiversity change.”
My Article was about volcanoes and what causes different eruption styles from one volcano. Kīlauea volcano typically has effusive eruptions, wherein magma flows to create ropy p hoehoe lava, for example. However, occasionally the Kīlauea volcano erupts more violently. To explain the variability in Kīlauea volcano's eruption styles, scientists have analyzed 25 eruptions that have taken place over the past 600 years.
A multi-university team has addressed challenges of introducing advanced biofuels in the transportation pool through the concerted development of technology designed to transform lignocellulosic biomass into a jet fuel surrogate via catalytic chemistry. This promising approach highlights the versatility of lignocellulose.
The sea ice and land ice are not the same.The land ice is the glacial ice that is located on the land.In Antarctica, the land is melted the fastest. The land mass has many active glacier volcanoes. A tuyas is a volcano that is erupted through an ice sheet.The Antarctica ice sheet is located near west of Antarctica on land.
The spring Arctic sea ice melt is well underway, the ice contracting to cover a progressively smaller area until it eventually reaches its annual minimum extent at the end of the summer.The annual summer minimum is closely watched, in part, because although it is a normal part of the annual sea ice cycle, it has stood as a particularly stark marker of the steady decline in Arctic sea ice fueled by global warming. The changing ice patterns in the Arctic can influence circulation patterns in the ocean and the atmosphere, with effects potentially extending far outside of the polar realm.The sea ice of the Arctic hit its maximum extent for the year on March 21, peaking at 5.7 million square miles, some 282,000 square miles below the 1981-to-2010 average, after a late-season surge in ice formation. That area was the fifth lowest maximum in the satellite record, which goes back to 1978, an example of the trend in declining ice extents that comes with Arctic warming.
The late surge in ice growth was followed by a rapid retreat in early April, before the rate of melt slowed later in the month. The average rate of decline in April was 11,700 square miles per day -- roughly the combined size of Rhode Island and Massachusetts -- slower than the average rate of 14,800 square miles per day during the 1981-to-2010 time period.But to see what this summer brings for ice melt and the minimum extent (and who wins those pools), scientists, like everyone else, will just have to wait and see.
