Three images side by side: cluster of coppery beetles devouring a rose flower, colours showing gravity variations of the Earth, and four yellow and one white synthetic diamonds.

3 Things you should know about geoid models of Earth’s variable gravity, harmful invasive insect species, and synthetic diamonds

Cassandra Marion, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

For this September edition, they tell us how the geoid gravity model helps scientists cope with Earth’s irregular shape, how invasive species such as the Japanese beetle are harmful to Canadian agriculture, and just how similar the properties of synthetic diamonds are to their natural counterparts.

3 things you should know about the science behind the diversity of Canada's winter precipitation, the April 2024 solar eclipse and how to safely watch it, and how the new methods of bioponics can make hydroponic agriculture organic

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

Canada Science and Technology Museum

For the February edition, they tell us why there are so many different forms of winter precipitation in much of Canada, how solar eclipses come about and why safety comes first when observing them, and how a new form of agriculture called bioponics makes organic certification of hydroponics possible.

Blue swirls of phytoplankton in the Black Sea, imaged from space.

Swirling Phytoplankton in the Black Sea

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Around this time of year, the Black Sea blooms with a massive growth of phytoplankton. This particular species of phytoplankton known as coccolithophores, are plated with white calcium carbonate, making the bloom very easy to see from space. NASA's Aqua satellite gathered these data.

Research has Shown Ponds Along the Mississippi are Growing in Size due to Wind Erosion

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A study published in the April 2017 issue of Geophysical Research Letters has shown that ponds are, on average, growing in size, and that growth is caused by the prevailing winds. This was shown by the study of over 10,000 satellite images taken between 1982 to 2016. A study like this will help conservation and environmental workers develop plans for maintaining vulnerable ponds.

A heat map of the American south west, including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. The map indicates where the temperature at a given location is above or below historical average.

The June Heat-Wave of the American South West

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

In June 2017, the American south west experienced some of the hottest temperatures felt in a long time. It was hot enough to ground air planes, and even caused some deaths. NASA's Aqua satellite measured the temperature on the surface of the Earth during the heat wave, and here is some of the results.

A map of Canada which shows the locations of all forest fires and logging between 1985 to 2010.

A complete map of forest disruption in Canada 1985-2011

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Researchers from the Canadian Forest Service have created a time-series map of where and how forests have been disrupted between the years of 1985 and 2011. This is specifically tracking logging/harvesting and forest fires. A staggering 10 percent of our country's total forests saw some kind of damage over the almost 30 years. This type of research is helpful in tracking the Earth's carbon cycle, which is critical to understanding our changing climate.

Science Says Neonicotinoid-Based Pesticides are Bad for Bees

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A large study performed by scientists from England, Hungary, and Germany has concluded that, while individual results may vary, the en masse use of of pesticides containing neonicotinoids leads to weaker Bee colonies.

The Sun is Nearing its Periodic Solar Minimum

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Based on counts of sun spots on the surface of the Sun, it looks like our star is heading towards a solar minimum. This happens every 11 years or so, and is related to how the internal and external magnetic fields in the Sun interact with each other. Keeping track of this activity is important, because it can help us predict geomagnetic storms on Earth.

A Senator and a Citizen Scientist

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Senator Bernie Fowler from Maryland, USA has been measuring the clarity of the water in the Patuxent River every June for the last 30 years. His chosen method of measurement? White sneakers. He wades into the river until he cannot see his white sneakers anymore and then records how deep the water is at that point. Some years he can wade in much further than others. What began as a simple test of the health of Maryland's waters has turned into a 30 year long citizen science and public outreach

Fog in the Strait of Juan de Fuca

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) aboard NASA's GOES-16 satellite captured multiple images of fog rolling into the Juan de Fuca strait. The high-resolution nature of GEOS-16 allows researchers to see small-scale weather features such as "bow shock waves" within the fog travelling down the strait.
