"There is adventure in finding compelling stories and exploring complex issues in challenging environments, but there is also a responsibility to tell those stories accurately and objectively." ~ K. Lee Lerner

Welcome to the 137th Daily Field Note! Here you find the top post of the day, one covering each scientific field that is included by Geopolis. Since these authors put a lot of effort in writing a good post they surely deserve the extra exposure.

Geopolis is a project to promote and connect authors who write in the fields of global sciences. You can read more about the project and how to join here:

Geography: Let's talk about the heat budget of the earth :understanding the need for stability

Original post by @prettyprecy

Jupiter is a very beautiful planet to behold, and a peep at the animation of Jupiter will reveal belts of moving bodies, these are gases whirling at a very high speed. Hence, Jupiter is viewed as a gas giant, with a weight of almost one thousandth of that of the sun. But Jupiter exaggerated the earth's atmospheric conditions because earth too is surrounded by gases though not as pronounced as that of Jupiter.

The earth receives an abundant of energy from the sun and it is very much evident when we look at the plants in our environment. If the pla...

Geology: Taking the milk home on your donkey across the Asian Steepe - Science Fieldwork photos

Original post by @snowyknight

Sometimes fieldwork takes you to crazy places. Sometimes you wake up, leave the tent and think that you are the luckiest person on Earth and other days, perhaps if you ate too much fermented mare's milk in the yurt the night before, you wish you dead. Today however was a good day. Work and nature and life all converged.

This photo shows the vastness of the steppe of Central Asia - part of the third pole, the highest land on earth. Here a young boy rides his donkey with a jug full of milk (perhaps yak), and his dogs (to protect him from wolves) running by his side. I love the clouds and how huge this landscape is. The dog later came up to me and licked my hand, but there are big and not so different from wolves themselves.

Ecology: Don't forget air pollution and its effects. Taking Imminent Preclusions

Original post by @synick

Amidst the multiple blessings that our ravishing world is ensued with, air is, and has been inestimable to the life of both man and animals. Its general usefulness and those of its individual constituents are myriad. From supporting respiration and photosynthesis, to the ignition of fires and warming up the earth through the greenhouse effect, air has a tectonic effect on man's functionality.
Howbeit, with its great significance, comes great mindlessness and ignorance. The calibre of toxicities is far beyond the rate of its purification. Consequently, if we are not vigilant enough, problems would erupt, beyond our...
