Modelling mines: how can a new 3D modelling platform make mining more sustainable and be part of the solution to climate change?

Futurum

Loop software makes use of geological maps that have been constructed from field data. These data are collected from surveys of the surface geology and drill holes, which allow geologists to build a picture of the subsurface rock. Geology, maths, physics, chemistry and biology are all sciences that will be leading this research.

How can place attachment improve scientific literacy?

Futurum

Pathway from school to environmental geography • Ben recommends studying an undergraduate degree in Earth and environmental science, biology, chemistry or mathematics. If you are more interested in social science, consider studying this as an undergraduate degree and environmental geography as a postgraduate degree. •

Deducing how Antarctica will respond to climate change

Futurum

Collating all these data will form a strong foundation of evidence, allowing us to learn more about past climates and the future of our own. In this case, the team studies sediments deposited on the seafloor Sediment core — a long, vertical sample of sediment H istorians look to the past to help understand our present and future.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

But in Version 14—following several years of work—we’ve dramatically broadened and deepened the computable data we have about biological organisms. One’s not dealing with some (usually very expensive) “just for PDEs” package; what we now have is a “consumerized” way to handle PDEs whenever they’re needed—for engineering, science, or whatever.
