Global Climate Change
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.
Green’s Theorem
Green’s Theorem establishes a relationship between a line integral around a closed plane curve and a double integral over the region enclosed by that curve. It applies to a vector field F(x, y) = 〈P(x, y), Q(x, y)〉, where P and Q have continuous first partial derivatives on an open set containing the region.Let C be a positively oriented, simple, closed, piecewise smooth curve, and let R be the plane region bounded by C. Green’s Theorem states that\begin{equation*}\oint_C P\,dx+Q\,dy =\iint_R...
Isothermal Processes
A thermodynamic process that occurs at constant temperature is called an isothermal process. Heat slowly flows into the system or out of the system to maintain thermal equilibrium. Processes involving phase changes like water evaporation into steam or freezing water into ice at a constant temperature are examples of Isothermal Processes.
An ideal gas can also undergo isothermal expansion or compression.
For example, consider 1 mole of an ideal gas inside an isolated cylinder at initial volume V...

Gene Flow
Gene flow is the transfer of genes among populations, resulting from either the dispersal of gametes or from the migration of individuals.
Extended Versions of Green’s Theorem
Green’s Theorem connects the circulation of a vector field around a closed curve with the behavior of the field across the region enclosed by that curve. It provides a way to replace a line integral around a boundary with a double integral over the interior region, making it especially useful in plane geometry, fluid flow, and vector calculus.Although Green’s Theorem is often introduced using simple regions without gaps, it can also be applied to regions made from several simple parts. This...
Speciation Rates
Speciation can proceed at markedly different rates, and evolutionary biologists commonly describe these differences through the models of gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. Both patterns explain how new species arise, but they differ in the tempo and continuity of evolutionary change. In both cases, evolutionary change arises from heritable variation within populations, with natural selection often shaping traits that improve survival and reproduction under specific environmental conditions.
