Climate Change
What Nasa Conducts?
a program of breakthrough research on climate science, enhancing the ability of the international scientific community to advance global integrated Earth system science using space-based observations.
why Pollution also called environmental pollution?what is?
the addition of any substance (solid, liquid, or gas) or any form of energy (such as heat, sound, or radioactivity) to the environment at a rate faster than it can be dispersed, diluted, decomposed, recycled, or stored in some harmless form.
what Applied historical ecology is?
the use of historical knowledge in the management of ecosystems.
¿Cómo se llama también el invernadero?
Invernadero o, si tiene suficiente calefacción, un invernadero) es una estructura con paredes y techo hecho principalmente de material transparente, como el vidrio, en el que se cultivan plantas que afectan a las condiciones climáticas reguladas.
What is the study of historical changes?
in climate and their effect on human history and development.
What the Nasa agency's research?
a encompasses solar activity, sea level rise, the temperature of the atmosphere and the oceans, the state of the ozone layer, air pollution, and changes in sea ice and land ice. NASA scientists regularly appear in the mainstream press as climate experts.
Why Although environmental pollution can be caused by natural events?
such as forest fires and active volcanoes, use of the word pollution generally implies that the contaminants have an anthropogenic source—that is, a source created by human activities.
what the Historical perspectives ecology increase?
our understanding of the dynamic nature of landscapes and provide a frame of reference for assessing modern patterns and processes.
What Green House is?
is a structure with walls and roof made chiefly of transparent material, such as glass, in which plants requiring regulated climatic conditions are grown.
How This differs from paleoclimatology?
which encompasses climate change over the entire history of Earth.
So how did the space agency end up taking such a big role in climate science?
When NASA was first created by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, it was given the role of developing technology for “space observations,” but it wasn’t given a role in Earth science.
What happen at Beginning about 1000 CE?
the use of coal for fuel caused considerable air pollution, and the conversion of coal to coke for iron smelting beginning in the 17th century exacerbated the problem. In Europe, from the Middle Ages well into the early modern era, unsanitary urban conditions favoured the outbreak of population-decimating epidemics of disease, from plague to cholera and typhoid fever.
what the our understanding of the dynamic nature of landscapes and provide a frame of reference for assessing modern patterns and processes?
As Aldo Leopold (1941) observed, "A science of land health needs, first of all, a base datum of normality, a picture of how healthy land maintains itself as an organism.
What The interior of a greenhouse exposed to?
sunlight becomes significantly warmer than the external ambient temperature, protecting its contents in cold weather.
What The study seeks to?
define periods in human history where temperature or precipitation varied from what is observed in the present day.
What the Agency's leaders enmended?
the technology effort in an Earth Observations program centered at the new Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in the U.S.. It was an “Applications” program, in NASA-speak.
what in an awareness of the need to protect?
air, water, and land environments from pollution had developed among the general public.
What the Historical ecology encompasses?
all of the data, techniques, and perspectives from paleoecology; land-use history from archival and documentary research.
How Many commercial glass greenhouses or hothouses are high tech production?
facilities for vegetables or flowers.
What The primary include?
sources include written records such as sagas, chronicles, maps and local history literature as well as pictorial representations such as paintings, drawings and even rock art.
Why Other agencies of the federal government were responsible for carrying out Earth science research?
the Weather Bureau (now the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Why The presence of environmental pollution raises the issue of pollution control?
Great efforts are made to limit the release of harmful substances into the environment through air pollution control, wastewater treatment, solid-waste management, hazardous-waste management, and recycling.
How the comparative histories from many locations?
can help evaluate both cultural and natural causes of variability and characterize the overall dynamic properties of ecosystems (Swetnam et al. 1999).
What The glass greenhouses are filled?
with equipment including screening installations, heating, cooling, lighting, and may be controlled by a computer to optimize conditions for plant growth.
What The archaeological record are?
is equally important in establishing evidence of settlement, water and land usage.
