Reversing the field Do terrestrial geomagnetic reversals have an effect on Earth's climate? Cooper et al. created a precisely dated radiocarbon record around time of Laschamps reversal about 41,000 years ago from rings New Zealand swamp kauri trees. This reveals substantial increase in carbon-14 content atmosphere culminating during period weakening magnetic strength preceding polarity switch. ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an acknowledged crisis for humanity. Its genetic origins and dire potential outcomes are increasingly well understood. However, diagnostic techniques for monitoring the crisis are currently largely limited to enumerating the increasing incidence of resistant pathogens. Being the end-stage of the evolutionary process that produces antimicrobial resistant pathoge...

This review defines crisis risk communication, traces its origins to a number of applied fields, and then shows how basic principles have become incorporated into emergency preparedness and risk communication for public health. Literature from four different disciplines that inform crisis risk communications are reviewed. These are (a) environmental risk communication, (b) disaster management, ...

Future environmental health problems will require a new generation of educated and trained professionals. Efforts to enhance the environmental public health workforce have been promoted by several organizations. While progress has been measured by these organizations, many environmental health academic programs are experiencing budget reductions and lower enrollments. One of the reasons for thi...

The Aral Sea problem, as the largest environmental disaster in the world, has acquired an acute character. Intense desertification, sustainable irreversible degradation of the environment and deterioration of living conditions caused an increased incidence of new socio-economic and environmental situations that require legislative solutions and legal regulation of social protection of the popul...

Environmental crises are distinguished by rapid and largely unexpected changes in environmental quality that are di¢ cult if not impossible to reverse. Examples would be major extinctions and signi…cant degradations of an ecosystem. I argue there are three preconditions for crisis: failures in governance, an ecological system exhibiting a tipping point, and an economy/environment interaction wi...

urban effete textures are multiple problems at conspectus skeletal, environmental, social and economic that encounter life of inhabitants with problem in this texture. according to the research, almost 90% of population in country exposed hazard of occurrence earthquake. in this face, by reason of problems, effete textures are over damage if the earthquake happened. nonetheless, to make provisi...

Generally Early Triassic floras are believed to be depauperate, suffering from protracted recovery following the Permian-Triassic extinction event. Here we present palynological data of an expanded East Greenland section documenting recovered floras in the basal Triassic (Griesbachian) and a subsequent fundamental floral turnover, postdating the Permian-Triassic boundary extinction by about 500...
