Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are...

Global Climate Change

29.0K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

20.9K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Specific Heat01:16

Specific Heat

67.5K
The specific heat capacity of a substance refers to the energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of that substance by one degree Celcius. Specific heat capacity is often represented in calories (cal), grams (g), and degrees Celsius (oC), but can also be expressed in joules (J), kilograms (kg), and Kelvin (K), among other units.
For example, increasing the temperature of one gram of water by 1°C requires one calorie of heat energy and can be written as 1 cal/g-°C, or...

Sampling Plans

993
Sampling is a crucial step in analytical chemistry, allowing researchers to collect representative data from a large population. Common sampling methods include random, judgmental, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling.
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...

Quantifying Heat02:46

Quantifying Heat

62.2K
Thermal Energy Microscopically, thermal energy is the kinetic energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules. Temperature is a quantitative measure of “hot” or “cold”, which depends on the amount of thermal energy. When the atoms and molecules in an object are moving or vibrating quickly, they have a higher average kinetic energy (KE) (or higher thermal energy), and the object is perceived as “hot”, or it is described as being at a higher temperature. When the...

Area of Science:

  • Urban climatology
  • Environmental planning
  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Background:

  • By 2050, 75% of the global population will reside in cities, with a potential doubling of heat wave events.
  • Existing urban heat mapping lacks a comprehensive indicator for planning, failing to integrate climate and land use change impacts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a single, complex indicator for mapping urban heat impacts.
  • To assess visualization techniques for communicating complex urban heat data.
  • To evaluate the usability of the indicator and maps for policymakers in local adaptation planning.

Main Methods:

  • Combining climatic drivers and land use characteristics with future projections.
  • Developing and testing various visualization techniques for complex, multi-variable data.
  • Conducting a usability test with policymakers to assess information and communication effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • Future impact information is crucial for setting local adaptation agendas.
  • A map series using cartographic techniques effectively visualizes complex information.
  • The developed indicator and visualization methods meet key information needs of policymakers.

Conclusions:

  • The information enrichment chain approach supports local adaptation planning.
  • Integrating future climate and land use change impacts is vital for urban resilience.
  • Effective visualization tools are essential for translating complex data into actionable policy.
