Nasa research Antarctic’s ice flow
A NASA study based on an innovative technique for crunching torrents of satellite data provides the clearest picture yet of changes in Antarctic ice flow into the ocean. The findings confirm accelerating ice losses from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and reveal surprisingly steady rates of flow from its much larger neighbor to the east.
The Middle East labyrinth
The minorities in Turkey are exaggerated. Kurds (as a majority) do not extend west of Şanlıurfa or north of Iğdır. All of the purple, orange, green, blue dots throughout Turkey are not the majority languages today, merely small minorities. So to be realistic, today Turkey would be a giant green blob with a small burgundy enclave on the south-east.
Antarctica without ICE
One of the earth’s most alien landmasses, the Antarctic’s rocky surface , concealed by a vertical ice crust of up to more than 3km (average thickness 1,6km), was unveiled, at least digitally, at an unprecedented detail in spring 2013. Scientists have created a significantly improved map of the continent’s bedrock in the frame of the bedmap2 project led by the British Antarctic Survey. While the previous version ‘bedmap’, produced in 2001, gave a general overview of the Antarctic’s topography, the high spatial resolution of bedmap2 shows a landscape of mountain ranges, hills and vast plateaus dissected by canyons and gorges. Thus, it conveys the cartography of the bedrock terrain much closer to reality than ever portrayed.
Access to potable water in primary schools in Africa
Share of public primary schools with a drinking waterfacility or water delivery point that is designed to protectwater from external contamination, particularly of fecal origin. Examples of potable drinking water facilitiesinclude pipe-borne water, protected wells, boreholes,protected spring water and rainwater.
