My website was about beluga whales.Here is my link  https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/stephenresearch/beluga-bits/about/research

It was on the website zooniverse.




Something new I learned was that they are very social animals and they have been seen in huge groups of hundreds of beluga whales.I also learned that they are one of the most vocal whales that we know of.Something cool that I learned is that when they get pregnant the baby stays in the womb for over 14 months.Thats over a year!I learned that some of them can mimic human speech!I think that scientists would benefit off this knowledge because they would not have to figure out what is already a fact and they can learn new things about the beluga whale.I wonder if they can have twins or more than one baby at a time.

I learned about an aquatic creature called the spiny lumpsucker. I learned that most of the lumpsucker's features were actually adaptations before they were just a set a pelvic fins, but now they have fused, giving the fish the ability to attach itself to surrounding seagrass. I've learned through these creatures are rather small in size, averaging about an inch, they have the ability to go as deep as 480 feet down in the ocean and they don't even have an actual swim bladder that helps them travel around. I think many scientists and researchers can benefit from this discovery because since the lumpsucker can take high amounts of water pressure, scientists can study the skeleton/ physical features of the lumpsucker and adapt their research submarines to help them take on more water pressure and study more animals. One question I still have in my head about this information is how long did it take for the spiny lumpsucker to get their adaptation and what problems did they face without them?

I learned that we know climate change is real from the warming trend that is going around the universe. Nasa has predicted that the result of this significant warming trend around the Earth is approximately from 95% of the of the human population since the middle of the 20th century! We also know that climate change is out there from warming global temperature, warming oceans, rise in sea level, and so much more devastating effects. We know this from all of the helpful tools that scientists use to see the "big picture." Many advocates and scientists that are looking to stop climate change will benefit from this information because they will know how climate change will affect the atmosphere and what things are part of climate change that they can try and stop.

A question that I have is that, "Besides the North and South Poles, where is climate change affecting people the most?"

Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The rate of change since the mid-20th century is unprecedented over millennia.

Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 800,000 years, there have been eight cycles of ice ages and warmer periods, with the end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era - and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth's orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.

This graph, based on the comparison of atmospheric samples contained in ice cores and more recent direct measurements, provides evidence that atmospheric CO2 has increased since the Industrial Revolution. (Credit: Luthi, D., et al.. 2008; Etheridge, D.M., et al. 2010; Vostok ice core data/J.R. Petit et al.; NOAA Mauna Loa CO2 record.) Find out more about ice cores (external site).

The current warming trend is different because it is clearly the result of human activities since the mid-1800s, and is proceeding at a rate not seen over many recent millennia. It is undeniable that human activities have produced the atmospheric gases that have trapped more of the Sun's energy in the Earth system. This extra energy has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land, and widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere have occurred.

Do scientists agree on climate change?

Yes, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists - 97 percent - agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change.

detailed answer

Earth-orbiting satellites and new technologies have helped scientists see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate all over the world. These data, collected over many years, reveal the signs and patterns of a changing climate.

Scientists demonstrated the heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases in the mid-19th century. Many of the science instruments NASA uses to study our climate focus on how these gases affect the movement of infrared radiation through the atmosphere. From the measured impacts of increases in these gases, there is no question that increased greenhouse gas levels warm Earth in response.

"Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal."

- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that Earth's climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. This ancient, or paleoclimate, evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly 10 times faster than the average rate of warming after an ice age. Carbon dioxide from human activities is increasing about 250 times faster than it did from natural sources after the last Ice Age.

I learned that there is a new gene called SARS-CoV-2 that could have a significant impact on how we combat the virus. There is a new a overlapping gene in SARS-CoV-2 called ORF3d. ORF3d has been independently identified and shown to elicit a strong antibody response in COVID-19 patients, demonstrating that the new gene’s protein is manufactured during human infection.
I wonder what scientists/doctors will do with this information.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A new gene has been identified in SARS-CoV-2-the virus that causes COVID-19-that may have contributed to its unique biology and pandemic potential. SARS-CoV-2 only has about 15 genes, so knowing more about this and other overlapping genes-or "genes within genes"-could have a significant impact on how we combat the virus, scientists say. The description of the new gene, which is also found in a pangolin coronavirus, is published this week in the journal eLife.

"Overlapping genes may be one of an arsenal of ways in which coronaviruses have evolved to replicate efficiently, thwart host immunity, or get themselves transmitted," said lead author Chase Nelson, a postdoctoral researcher at Academia Sinica in Taiwan and a visiting scientist at the Museum. "Knowing that overlapping genes exist and how they function may reveal new avenues for coronavirus control, for example through antiviral drugs."

Rather than discrete blocks that convey a particular set of information, genes can be overlapping and multifunctional, with information cryptically encoded depending on where you start "reading" them. Such "overlapping genes" are hard to spot, but they are common in viruses, where one letter in a genome can contribute to two or even three different genes.

"Missing overlapping genes puts us in peril of overlooking important aspects of viral biology," said Nelson.

Prior to the pandemic, while working at the Museum as a Gerstner Scholar in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Nelson developed a computer program that screens genomes for patterns of genetic change that are unique to overlapping genes. For this study, Nelson worked with colleagues from institutions including the Technical University of Munich and the University of California, Berkeley, to apply this software and other methods to new sequence data available for SARS-CoV-2.

The research team identified ORF3d, a new overlapping gene in SARS-CoV-2 that has the potential to encode a protein that is longer than expected by chance alone. They found that this gene is also present in a previously discovered pangolin coronavirus, perhaps reflecting repeated loss or gain of this gene during the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses. In addition, ORF3d has been independently identified and shown to elicit a strong antibody response in COVID-19 patients, demonstrating that the new gene's protein is manufactured during human infection.

Vital signs of climate change

Carbon dioxide is a vital sign of climate change because it is a heat trapping greenhouse gas. Also that humans are to be at fault for the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, since 1850 the amount of industrial work has increased by almost 50%

Learning this is beneficial because it can help us learn how to counter climate change.

This text leaves me wondering what kind of industrial work is causing the spike in carbon dioxide.

For example "On September 20, 1951, a monkey named Yorick and 11 mice were recovered after an Aerobee missile flight of 236,000 feet at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Yorick got a fair amount of press as the first monkey to live through a space flight." This shows that animals have went up into space before humans to test if it was safe or not. I thought It was unbelievable how the animals survived safely throughout the mission.

On this website I learned than an atomic nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons. Although protons repel each other, the nucleus is held tightly together by a short-range, but very strong, force called the strong nuclear force.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA - It's not often in nuclear physics that you can clearly get both sides of the story, but a recent experiment allowed researchers to do just that. They compared very similar nuclei to each other to get a clearer view of how the components of nuclei are arranged and found that there's still more to learn about the heart of matter. The research, carried out at the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, was recently published as an editors' suggested read in Physical Review Letters.

"We want to study nuclear structure, which is basically how protons and neutrons behave inside a nucleus," explains Reynier Cruz-Torres, a postdoctoral researcher at DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Lab who worked on the experiment as a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "To do that, we can measure any nucleus that we want. But to do a high-precision test of nuclear theory, we are limited to light nuclei that have precision calculations. Measuring these light nuclei is a benchmark for understanding nuclear structure in general."

For this measurement, the researchers focused on two of the simplest and lightest nuclei in the universe: helium and hydrogen. They focused on an isotope of helium called helium-3, so called because it contains just three major components: two protons and one neutron. The isotope of hydrogen that they tested, tritium, is also composed of three components: one proton and two neutrons.

"They are mirror nuclei. So, you can assume that the protons in helium-3 are basically the same as the neutrons in tritium and vice versa," says Florian Hauenstein, a joint postdoctoral researcher at Old Dominion University and MIT.

According to the researchers, by comparing these relatively simple nuclei, they can get a window into the strong nuclear interactions that can't be duplicated elsewhere. That's because as some of the lightest and least complicated of the nuclei in the universe, these nuclei are excellent examples for comparing with the state-of-the-art theories that describe the basic structures of different nuclei.

"The theory calculations have been there for a while, but we didn't know how good they are," explains Dien Nguyen, a postdoctoral researcher at MIT and incoming Nathan Isgur Fellow in Nuclear Experiment at Jefferson Lab. "So, with this research, we are able to quantitatively say how good the calculation is. I think that is a really important step."

To make the comparison, the researchers measured both nuclei in high-precision experiments in the Continuous Electronic Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF), a DOE User Facility based at Jefferson Lab.

Electrons from CEBAF were aimed at the nuclei of tritium and helium-3, where some interacted with the nuclei's protons. The struck protons and the interacting electrons were then captured and measured in large detectors called spectrometers in Jefferson Lab's Experimental Hall A.

"We use the spectrometers to study the properties of those final-state particles and look back to the nucleus and try to understand what was happening inside the nucleus before the reaction took place," says Cruz-Torres.

This experiment was challenging and groundbreaking in that it was conducted at a wider range of energies with unprecedented precision. In addition, the tritium data are the very first ever for these studying these reactions.

The researchers then compared the full range of data from the experiments to theory calculations on the structures of the nuclei of helium-3 and tritium. They found that the data generally matched theory well for both nuclei to the precision allowed by experiment, a feat that was described by one researcher as a triumph of modern-day nuclear physics. However, differences were also observed relative to some of the calculations, indicating that further refinements in the theoretical treatments are required.

"We expected that the helium-3 calculations at the end would easily match the data, but it actually turned out that the tritium cross section fit very well the theory calculation, and the helium-3 not so much through the whole range. So, we need to go back and look at helium-3," explains Hauenstein.

Dien confirms that this unexpected result is now the impetus for continuing these high-precision studies of light nuclei in earnest.

"Before, we thought we had a very good understanding of the calculations," says Nguyen. "But now, the result is what is driving us to do an even more detailed measurement, because we want to make sure that we have a good agreement with the theory."

Global climate change 

Climate change is happening because of the greenhouse effect. To put the greenhouse effect in simple words: the sun's heat gets trapped inside of the earth's atmosphere because of pollution and the world's climate begins to mess up, global warming comes in, and it's the reason why the polar ice caps are melting. Climate change is a result of pollution and it starts a domino effect where it ends in the ice caps melting and the ocean getting larger, sometimes the ocean takes over a whole island. And by about 2050 some countries will be fully underwater.

Ice shelves are huge clumps of ice. And scientists found out that the ice shelves act as a dam to glaciers, and the glaciers are rivers filled with ice. And when an ice shelf breaks apart like the Larsen B Antarctic Ice shelf broke, the glaciers flow into the sea and ocean very quick. This makes the sea level rise all around the world.

I think that people who are trying to stop global warming and other things that have to do with ice will really benefit from this information and they can figure out why it is happening or how to stop the glaciers from flowing into the sea and stop the ice shelves from breaking.

On this website I learned that our noise and light pollution affect birds reproduction negatively. Bird populations have declined at least 30% in the last few decades. Scientists believe this is because of noise and light pollution harming them. In this experiment, NASA got a birds eye view on 58,506 nest from 142 species of birds. They found that light pollution birds to begin nesting as much as a month earlier than normal.

Everyone could benefit learning this because if they are informed they can make steps to solve the problem.

I am still wondering what noise pollution is, and what effects it has on the rest of the world.

Human-produced noise and light pollution are troublesome to our avian neighbors, according to new research from a team at California Polytechnic State University, published November 11 in Nature.

Using NASA satellite data, the researchers got a bird's-eye view of how noise and light negatively affected bird reproduction in North America. The team also discovered that these factors might interact with or even mask birds' responses to the effects of climate change.

Bird populations have declined by about 30 percent in the last few decades. Scientists and land managers seeking to understand what caused the decline and reverse the trend had largely overlooked the effects of noise and light pollution, until recent studies suggested that these stressors could harm certain types of birds.

Prior to the launch of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument aboard the joint NASA-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite in 2011, high resolution light pollution data didn't exist on such a large scale. This new study has produced a continent-wide picture utilizing VIIRS data.

The study focused on 142 North American bird species, including the ash-throated flycatcher shown above. Credit: David Keeling/California Polytechnic State University

"Our study provides comprehensive evidence that noise and light can profoundly alter reproduction of birds, even when accounting for other aspects of human activities," said Clint Francis, a biologist at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California, one of the lead authors on the study.

The research team looked at a vast collection of data sets - including those collected by citizen scientists through the NestWatch Program - to assess how light and noise affected the reproductive success of 58,506 nests from 142 bird species across North America. They considered several factors for each nest, including the time of year when breeding occurred and whether at least one chick fledged - or flew - from the nest.

Birds' reproduction coincides with peak food availability to feed their young, as daylight cues signal to breed around the same time each year. The researchers found that light pollution causes birds to begin nesting as much as a month earlier than normal in open environments, such as grasslands or wetlands, and 18 days earlier in forested environments. The consequence could be a mismatch in timing - for example, hungry chicks may hatch before their food is readily available. If that happens, these early season nests may be less successful at fledging at least one chick, but the situation is complicated by climate change.

As the planet warms, birds' food is available earlier due to warmer weather. Birds that maintain their historical breeding times because their internal clocks are set to changes in daylength may have fewer chicks survive because the food source they rely on already came and went.

"We discovered that the birds that advanced the timing of their reproduction in response to increased light pollution actually have better reproductive success," Francis said. "A likely interpretation of this response is that light pollution actually allows these birds to 'catch up' to the shift towards earlier availability of food due to climate change."

These findings suggest two conclusions about birds' responses to climate change. First, at least temporarily, birds in lit conditions may be tracking climate change better than those in dark areas. Second, when scientists thought birds were adjusting their reproductive timing to climate change, birds may have actually been instead responding to light cues since many studies were done in areas exposed to some light pollution.

Many areas of the United States are significantly brighter at night due to human-produced light pollution. This map - constructed with VIIRS data - shows areas with increased light pollution (yellow and pink) compared to the typical brightness of the night sky (darker blues). Credit: Francis et al.

When considering noise pollution, results showed that birds that live in forested environments tend to be more sensitive to noise than birds in open environments.

Researchers delved into greater detail in 27 different bird species, looking for physical traits that could explain the variations in species' responses to light and noise. A bird's ability to see in low light and the pitch of its call were related to species' responses to light and noise pollution.

The more light a bird's eye is capable of taking in, the more that species moved its breeding time earlier in the year in response to light pollution, and the more that species benefited from light pollution with improved nest success. Noise pollution delayed nesting for birds' whose songs are at a lower frequency and thus more difficult to hear through low-frequency human noise. Mating decisions are made based on the male's song, and in some cases, females need to hear the male's song to become physically ready to breed.

These trait and environment-specific results have strong implications for managing wild lands. Developers and land managers could use this study to understand how their plans are likely to affect birds. For example, Francis says, "Is it a forest bird? If so, it is likely that it is more sensitive to light and noise."

The study is the first step toward a larger goal of developing a sensitivity index for all North American birds. The index would allow managers and conservationists to cross-reference multiple physical traits for one species to assess how factors such as light and noise pollution would affect each species.
