Global warming poses significant environmental challenges. Power plants are a major cause, with 73% of CO2 emissions from the worldwide electricity sector due to just 5% of power plants, particularly in Europe, India, and East Asia.

My Earth Science teacher is terrible, he left for half the year and doesn’t teach us much. He teaches us for 5 minutes and we have to do the rest ourselves. I haven’t learned nothing the whole year and i want to prep for my regants. if anyone has any review, tips, review sources or anything that will help, please share please.

There was no water on the ceiling and this was only about an hour after putting it in the freezer. I'm guessing there had to be a natural reason why ice could form like this

Had a thought, I can’t possibly be the first, but hoping for clarity from folks that know.

I understand we usually point to CO2/greenhouse gases as a main driver of climate change, right? Makes sense, but isn’t it simpler to point to us generating heat?

For ex: heating in the winter, burning wood for fire, etc. Even AC’s ultimately create heat as a byproduct. I’m aware these things are very complicated and multifaceted, but-

Can anybody explain why this doesn’t make more sense?

Thanks!

(PS- if I’m on the wrong sub, please redirect me!)

TLDR: Made the Dean's list for the first time in my life, landed my first paid internship, and swapped majors.

Hey y'all! I am a former physics major with a concentration in Astronomy/Astrophysics who just completed his first semester of Earth Science courses in college.

At the end of the of JY Fall 2023 semester. I was sitting at a 2.75 GPA and my physics advisor reminded me that I didn't have a minor for my degree and recommended I try out Earth Science. So I randomly signed up for a 3000 level course and a 4000 level. Severe Weather and Global Environmental Change, respectively.

Now for some reason, I wasnt prevented or warned about registering for those classes as they both had their own individuals pre-reqs.

Despite this, I ended the semester with my highest GPA in my college career, a 3.95. Only getting an A- in my Astrophysics course.

The two Earth Sciences I took this semester pretty much changed my life for the better. I have made friends and connections with many more professors and even began lab work now, and have a paid internship this summer (my first ever). I also secured a job fall semester working as a lab assistant for a professor I met through my 4000 level class.

Switching majors did of course set me back, but I have been told, I should easily be able to test out of the 1000 and 2000 level courses that I was supposed to take already.

I went from being an average student in the physics department and somewhat hating my education process to now going storm chasing with my professor. I'm sure some of you know that getting an internship of any kind can be competitive, and with our physics department, it was almost a name game or whoever had the highest grades. And as an average transfer student, I in no way had either.

Anyways, I just wanted to share with you guys my conversion story and how much happier I am now making the discovery of my passion for the natural Sciences. Do you guys have any similar stories?

Hey all.

I'm just starting a short unit on space/Earth science with my middle schoolers.

Can anyone think of a good lab or activity that they might find interesting right off the bat? Something that doesn't require a lot of knowledge ahead of time?

I was thinking of a mineral ID lab.. but I haven't really taught them anything about minerals or rocks yet.. amd that's not exactly a super exciting topic.

Literally, all they've done so far is watched a video and discussed The Big Bang and How Earth Formed.

Thanks in advance! Any ideas are appreciated!

I want to conduct a study to determine road conditions and detect change using NASA’s Earth Observation Satellite (EOS) data. Which EOS data would be best to use ? Any advice is appreciate. I am learning how to use Google Earth Engine to collect, analyze, and visualize data.

Hey Guys. I'm no reservoir geology specialist, but for my research I do have to look at some logs. The neutron porosity log has a scale from 42 to -18 PU (%). How can a rock have a negative porosity?

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to learn about Earth Science for USESO, does anyone know which one is best for me?

Hi there. I’ve got an integrated masters in geology. My masters dissertation was in landslide simulation, and I have always been very interested in natural disaster mitigation. I’m currently working as a shallow marine geophysicist, and am curious in the application of geophysics within natural disaster mitigation. Anyone have experience in this? Any career paths, or would it lie only within academia?

Cheers :)

A recent analysis of the fossil record has shown that marine plankton may be the newest candidate to act as an oceanic early alert system.

The study was the first to explore how biodiversity among marine plankton groups has changed over the last 66 million years on a global, spatial scale using a single database. Overall, researchers found that changes to community structure take place long before mass extinction occurs--leading to the possibility that marine plankton could function as an early alert system when it comes to the impact of climate change.

People have been yelling about it being used up since at least the 70s and we still seem to have trillions of tons of it k the ground.

Additionally, do we have any idea just how many dinosaur bones are out there? Since they’re a chief component of it?

Here is one I took.

Hi there I want to apply to the UK for a masters in earth science in the future, I have broad interests and am currently doing my undergrad in the US and love volcanology, climate science, and earth system science in general. I’m trying to scope what the best/most respected UK unis are for earth science besides Oxford and Cambridge are. What are your thoughts!

Hello Everyone, I recently graduated and earned my bachelor's degree in Earth Science with a major in Applied Geology and I'm looking to publish my undergraduate thesis. I've been looking into submitting abstracts for conferences as well as submitting to peer-reviewed journals.

​

What advice or guidance would you give someone looking to publish his undergraduate thesis? For those interested, the thesis was on "Supplementing Traditional Geological Mapping with Drone Mapping - Frontier Testing with Quartzites and Phyllites"

Straightforward answers are preferred, please. Thank you!

I know that there's no winning with someone like this, but honestly I have no idea what this dude is trying to say with his last comment. This conversation/comment thread stems from a post about a fossil found in ND. Suggestions for a response?
