A new paper has been recently published on PNAS Nexus as a result of the work of two Living Planet Fellows, John Gittings with his POSEIDON project and Joan Llort with the PYROPLANKTON activity. The research explores the linkages between global warming, desertification, dust emissions and ocean fertilisation. In particular, the study shows that dust …
The ionosphere forms a comparatively dense layer of partially ionized gas around Earth. The ionosphere as a whole works to dissipate the energy provided by the constant connection it has to the solar wind and magnetosphere systems. This energy dissipation, which creates beautiful displays of aurora in Earth’s polar regions, is associated with plasma turbulence …
