Climatology Importance. Climatology is important since it helps determine future climate expectations. Through the use of latitude, one can determine the likelihood of snow and hail reaching the surface. You can also be able to identify ...
Curly top is a viral disease that affects many crops. This disease causes plants to become smaller in size, have shriveled petals and leaves, and are twisted and pulled out of shape. They are often caused by curtoviruses ( ...
A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked. The blockage is most often a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). The plaque ...
People in Minneapolis–St. Paul expect a white Christmas, and people in New Orleans expect very warm, humid summers. And a traveler going to Orlando, Florida, in March will not pack the same kind of clothing as a traveler going to Vail, Color ...
Weather is the condition of the atmosphere over a brief period of time. For example, we speak of today’s weather or the weather this week. Climate represents the composite of day-to-day weather over a longer period of time. ...
Is the leading journal in the field of complex emergencies and natural disasters Influences disaster prevention, mitigation and response policies and practices Adopts a world-wide geographical perspective Contains a mix of academic papers and fiel ...
All climatologists in Geography are also part of the Atmospheric Science programme, which includes faculty from Earth and Ocean Sciences, Soil Science and other departments. The department is also part of a Collaborative Research and Tra ...
Researchers were concerned about whether inhaled carbon nanotubes could lead to certain lung diseases, including pleural fibrosis, which results in the hardening and thickening of the tissue which covers the lungs, impairing breathing. Testing thi ...
The small size makes the material both promising and challenging. To researchers, nanomaterials are often seen as a "two-edged sword." The properties that make nanomaterials potentially beneficial in product d ...
The Vancouver area provides easy access to a wide variety of surfaces and terrain (urban, water, ice, snow, forest, agricultural and alpine). We have also run field campaigns in the United States, Mexico and Europe. The group is amply equipped wit ...
Nano-sized particles exist in nature and can be created from a variety of products, such as carbon or minerals like silver, but nanomaterials by definition must have at least one dimension that is less than approximately 100 nanometers. Most nanos ...
Marine bioscience is the scientific study of marine life, organisms in the sea. Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and oth ...
Political economy is the interplay between economics, law and politics, and how institutions develop in different social and economic systems, such as capitalism, socialism and communism. Political economy analyzes how public policy is created and ...
Marine ecosystem degradation involves the loss of ocean benefits (ecosystem services) to society; it can occur either as a result of natural causes or human activities, such as those considered elsewhere in this report. The marine e ...
Monitoring and controlling of the process parameters is very essential in all industries and effective methods to monitor those parameters are need to be developed, optimized and need to be maintained at their maximum efficiency in order to meet t ...

The Geography department has a strong climatology programme covering all scales. It has a emphasis on the atmospheric boundary layer, especially micro-, local and meso-scale aspects, but it also maintains interests in synoptic and global climates. ...
Biodiversity alludes to each living thing, including plants, microscopic organisms, creatures, and people. Including earthly, marine, and other amphibian biological systems and the environmental edif ...
