Last Glacial Maximum

People who are not from Australia, may have never heard the word Indigenous or know the meaning behind it. If they have heard the word they might not know about Australia’s Indigenous people. Maybe when they think of Australia they automatically think of British convicts. Only the British convicts weren’t the first people to own the land in Australia, there come people way before them and they are still fighting for their rights and land today. It is said that humans have been on this continent

Large blocks of limestone in geological layer 5 suggest the collapse of the outer part of the roof during the Last Glacial Maximum, but an area of 88 m is still roofed” (D. Richter, J. Waiblinger, W. J. Rink, G. A. Wagner 1999). Having a large convenient water supply would also indicate relatively available game for hunting. Due to the mammoth bone flute (36,000 years

Despite the widely agreed upon consensus of climate change and human causation in the scientific community, the general public is still out to lunch on the subject, influenced by politics and societal ideals. The most important thing about climate change is the effects it directly has on our planet and its direct effect on species. Demonstrating a specific occurrence of the direct effects of climate change is Coral reefs. Impacted by warming and ocean acidification, Coral is facing great distress

Importance of question for archeological research: Introduction It's hard to say that humans haven't had an impact on their environment. Climate change, for example, has been a hot issue in the developed world ever since evidence proving the existence of human-caused global warming was unleashed leading to an onslaught of theories regarding its potential effect on our future. But what impact did humans have thousands of years ago when they were first colonizing North America? The question

Threat of Global Warming There are two burning questions that I feel need to be answered before exploring the aspects of global warming. They are what is the greenhouse effect and how does the green house effect contribute to global warming? Gases in the atmosphere are transparent to visible light but absorb infrared (heat) waves that are reradiated from the earth’s surface (Cunningham, Cunningham, Saigo 05). However, some greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, while others

#1. Water is the mainspring of civilization. This was recognized at the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia and Egypt. Water was conceived as the source of all things, eternal and primeval. In Mesopotamia, Iraq, the god of water, Enki, was entrusted with me, the universal law governing all existence. Enki, whose mother Nammu was no less than the goddess of wisdom, poured water to make the earth fruitful, stocked marshes with fish, and erected sheepfolds. Wisely, he also appointed special deities

A species distribution model analyzing the distribution of 37 frog species of the Cape Floristic Region showed that lowland species will endure the negative effects of the loss of suitable habitat as well. Researchers found that between the Last Glacial Maximum and now, although highland species were found to be more fragmented than lowland species, the fragmentation of the lowland species is expected to increase in the future. The climate-induced fragmentation of habitat for lowland amphibians is

Fed Policy in 2017: Don’t Forget the Balance Sheet Throughout last year, the media were solely focussed on the differences of opinion on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) between the doves and hawks as being solely about the projected increase in the federal funds rate. The baseline outlook proposed by Chair Yellen was for a glacial trajectory, but this was always subject to alteration depending on the underlying tone of incoming economic data. Since the financial crisis, however, US monetary

The Effect of Overpopulation This rapid increase in the population is causing lots of environmental, economic, social, political, educational and health issues. People should be aware of the problems because if they did not then we will be facing many problems in future. Moreover, overpopulation can affect on our health because of the factories that release toxins in the atmosphere, which led to air pollution and land pollution. In addition, the environment will face many huge issues if the
