  • Patagonia field work — Update #5

    Updated: 2012-02-28 14:35:27
    An update from down south. Field work is going well, the weather has actually been quite wonderful. We’ve had multiple days in a row of near-perfect field weather. Weather can make this type of work glorious or full of misery, and we’re getting lucky the past couple weeks. I figured I’d take the time to [...]

    Here’s a short video clip I shot the other day of an Andean condor flying above us we hiked up on top of some sandstone cliffs. We see these magnificent birds all the time because we tend to be around cliffs that have good exposure, and they like the updrafts the cliffs provide. They are [...]

  • Cradle of Flames: New Book Explains How Wildfires Shape Southern California and other ‘Mediterranean’ Ecosystems

    Updated: 2012-02-28 00:00:00
    LOS ANGELES, Calif. – We may tend to view fires as the bane of cities and wilderness areas, but they actually play an integral part in the evolution and ecology of the world’s “Mediterranean-type climate” regions — dry, temperate coastlands that cradle and nurture world cities such as Los Angeles, Santiago, Cape Town, Perth and Athens. Exploring the impact of fire on Mediterranean-type ecosystems and plant communities is the focus of a new book , “Fire in Mediterranean Ecosystems,” published by Cambridge University Press

  • What is the difference between Geology and Geography?

    Updated: 2012-02-02 18:37:40
    The primary difference between these two studies is that geology is a science focused on how the land became the way it is now, while geography deals with the overall shape of the land. However both of them do deal with the land and land formations. Studies have been made by the FG Marketing Group [...]
