Geochemistry is that branch of science which uses the fundamental principles of chemistry to understand, analyze, and explain the mechanisms behind and working principles of major geological systems including the oceans as well as Earth's crust. But the scope of geochemistry extends much beyond our planet earth and extends up to the solar system so much so that its contribution is immense in understanding important phenomena like formation of planets, origins of granite and basalt, and mantle convection.

Riepilogo Editore:

Negli ultimi anni sentiamo parlare spesso di "riscaldamento globale". Si discute innanzitutto sulla esistenza stessa del fenomeno, su quali siano le sue cause, quali le conseguenze per il pianeta e quali le misure per contrastare il problema.

Qui cercheremo di chiarire alcuni aspetti fondamentali legati al riscaldamento globale, partendo proprio dalla sua definizione e dagli argomenti di coloro che affermano o negano la realtà del fenomeno.

Titolo: La protesta green (Audionews)

Autore: Emilio Crippi

Narratore: Lorenzo Visi

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 1 hr and 15 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 07-05-17

Editore: Area 51 Short

Categoria: Science & Technology, Environment

Riepilogo Editore:

Il cambiamento climatico è già in atto e sono prevedibili effetti conseguenti disastrosi per il nostro pianeta. Le emissioni di gas serra, quali anidride carbonica e metano, stanno avendo un impatto catastrofico sul nostro ambiente. Gli effetti li possiamo già constatare nelle decine di notizie che ci giungono dai media: l'innalzamento del livello del mare, l'incremento delle ondate di calore e dei periodi di intensa siccità, le alluvioni, l'aumento per numero e intensità delle tempeste e degli uragani e molto altro ancora.

È palese che tutti questi fenomeni avranno un grande impatto sulla vita di milioni di persone e in maniera particolare su chi vive nelle zone considerate più a rischio. Tutto ciò sembra il prezzo che dobbiamo pagare per una crescita e uno sviluppo forsennato, senza regole o limitazioni.

Qualsiasi cosa in passato sembrò lecita se finalizzata a far migliorare l'economia e il prodotto interno lordo di un paese. Per questo motivo se da un lato le persone sembrano sentire già questo problema, anche sulla propria pelle, dall'altro lato i governi e le aziende stanno rispondendo con colpevole lentezza.

Hurricane season has officially begun in the North Atlantic, and its not just coastal communities that have to worry. A population of sooty terns off the southwest tip of Florida might want to worry, too. Depending on when and where storms hit, the terns could be in for a tough time. Their migratory route overlaps with the general path of hurricanes traveling from the waters off Africa up to the United States, a new study finds.

Publisher's Summary:

A handful of measurements of decaying particles has seemed slightly off-kilter for years, intriguing physicists. Now a new decay measurement at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva has amplified that interest into tentative enthusiasm, with theoretical physicists proposing that weird new particles could explain the results. Scientists with the LHC experiment reported the new result on April 18 in a seminar at the European particle physics lab CERN, which hosts the LHC.
