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

Futurum

The team behind the Loop project is made up mainly of researchers and developers. Q&A Meet Laurent What do you find rewarding about research in geoscience? Planet sustainability should be at the forefront of future research. Geology, maths, physics, chemistry and biology are all sciences that will be leading this research.

What is the fate of dissolved oxygen in our oceans?

Futurum

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. This helps the researchers build up a picture of what conditions were like at specific times in the past. CHALLENGES.

How can community engagement projects empower STEM students?

Futurum

They use the data from these sensors to conduct their own research projects to investigate air quality in New Orleans, and they work closely with high schools to deploy the sensors around their local community. ECOSTEM students also conduct research projects by analysing the data collected from their air quality monitoring network.

Understanding eruptions: how can we determine which volcanoes pose the greatest threat?

Futurum

Dr Michael Eddy , a geologist from Purdue University in Indiana, USA, is researching how to make more accurate predictions about where the most violent eruptions are likely to happen. The process by which this separation occurs remains unknown and is the subject of Michael’s research. WHAT HAS MICHAEL’S RESEARCH TAUGHT US?

Empowering Educators: Online Workshops for Aspiring STEM Teachers – Comprehensive Guide

STEM Education Shopping

Virtual simulations, online research, and coding activities are some examples. In science, students should learn about the scientific method and how to conduct experiments to test hypotheses. They should also explore various branches of science such as biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences.
