International Polar Year (Earth sciences 🌍)

The International Polar Years are collaborative, international efforts with intensive research focus on the polar regions. Karl Weyprecht, an Austro-Hungarian naval officer, motivated the endeavor in 1875, but died before it first occurred in 1882–1883. Fifty years later a second IPY took place. The International Geophy...

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Some second-hand treasures: The Great #Comet Crash: The Collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 and #Jupiter from Cambridge UP, and two books from Rutgers UP: Upheaval from the Abyss: #Ocean Floor Mapping and the Earth Science Revolution (sans dust jacket), and Mass Destruction: The Men and Giant #Mines That Wired America and Scarred the Planet #Books #Scicomm #Bookstodon #Astronomy #Oceanography #Geology #EarthSciences #EnvironmentalHistory #History @bookstodon

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. On the left, standing up, The Great Comet Crash, showing a picture of Jupiter taken with a telescope. In the middle, lying down, Upheaval from the Abyss, showing a marine blue spine with silver lettering (the dust jacket is missing). On the right, standing up, Mass Destruction, showing an golden/honey coloured aerial photo of an open-pit mine. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.

Paleontology, also spelled palaeontology or palæontology, is the scientific study of the history of life in the geologic past. It includes the study of fossils to classify organisms and study their interactions with each other and their environments. Paleontological observations have been documented as far back as the 5th century BC. The s...

I've had the fortune to study with some of the greatest Geographers at both the University of Washington and at UCSB. While visiting the UCSB Geography dept website today, I came across the very sad news that Jeff Dozier is no longer with us. He was an amazing professor, and was able to describe really complex concepts. He also had a great sense of humor.

Jeff taught me why the sky is blue, mathmatically.
