Over the summer, the Gulf of Mexico, had a "dead zone" that was created- there wasnt a lot of activity here.  Due ti the tile drainage, as well as many other factors- the area along the Mississippi River isn't doing the best.  Because nitrates are being put into the stream, instillation of some small wetlands may need to happen.  The process can happen, it'll just be very expensive.  Stay tuned for more progress later...

Geologists and scientists have been studying volcanoes in Ethiopia, and have perhaps come up with a new way to pinpoint eruptions.  By observing the volcanoes, they could gather information about the lava, and the way the it flows.  By investigating, they were able to tell that the intrusions were not random, but had a pattern, in fact.  By studying dykes, scientists were able to draw more conclusions about the mantle, and how the magma travels.  Comparing the tensions in the ground allow there to be much to infer.

University of Arizona scientists have been able to study heat, and the various ways it can be created or generated.  They have been able to determine ways to turn trash into power!  In the past, researchers have been wanting to be able to turn trash into power, but now- it is possible through the research being done.  Wave particle duality helps to make this possible.  Turning heat into power can be made possible through the structure.  Now it is possible to turn wasted heat into power, how profound!
