Seeing the north coast of Peru for the first time, you would be hard-pressed to believe it’s one of the driest deserts in the world. Parts of the region receive less than an inch of rain in an entire year. Yet, water and greenery are everywhere. This is the nation’s agro-industrial heartland, and, thanks to irrigation canals, almost every inch of the floodplain is blanketed in lucrative export crops, such as sugarcane, asparagus and blueberries. However, the apparent success of this system mas

A team of scientists has identified areas of the brain that are activated when a person becomes aware of themself and their thoughts. This enigmatic process appears to be controlled by the thalamus, a central region of the brain already known for its function as a filter between sensory signals and the cerebral cortex, the portion of the brain that governs higher-level processes such as memory, thought, and personality. Conscious perception is the ability of human beings to become aware of the

What are ocean scientists doing to employ iron fertilization? In the 1990s and early 2000s, a series of experiments tested iron fertilization in the open ocean. These tests consistently found that adding iron led to phytoplankton blooms, However, the extent to which that carbon sank to the depths wasn’t always measured, and the phytoplankton were not able to use all of the iron for growth before the mineral sank. Researchers did document changes in phytoplankton communities, with diatoms becom
