"Postdoctoral fellow at the university of saskatchewan and my collaborators. And i are working on. Researching interactions between permafrost thaw and water quality and cold regions. We're specifically looking at uranium and arsenic. Which are naturally occurring trace elements and. We're asking whether these potentially hazardous trace elements can be released into groundwater and surface water in areas that are seeing permafrost thaw and i'm in the middle of six week trip in yukon into the dawson range. Which is a remote area about two hundred kilometers northwest of white horse to get there. It's bit of a challenge. We fly from white horse to a gravel strip with fixed-wing aircraft and then us helicopter charters from there to get some locations where we're doing waterside playing And permafrost corn.

"Put it that way. Yep so there's just nothing there. But when you at certain of the other way bunsen what we now doings dividing infrared up into slices an in fact we do that we call it near near-infrared admitted for firing for these well. Well-known technical terms tried. Some of those bands is actually brought to the need expected to be and that's puzzle so it's giving you a mixed message saying in one way bundy sanyo young cold genuine regular wind. Your asari brown dwarf but in other white bundy saying no muchly quite hot and bright The selling something interesting here. And so the theory the people who do the physics of this thing thought about it long and hard and you've kind of worked out why this should be the bottom line. Is that this star. The accident is an extremely old star so it was formed when the the gases from which stars a foam was not as rich a heavier elements as it is in more recent times united spoken before. About how the amount of ion in stock spectrum is an indicator of a styles with virtually no iron very very old because they were full from gas that was really just hydrogen helium. There wasn't anything else. But it's time goes on stars themselves generate the island and then come to an end spread out among the in the interstellar medium to use for with much more on. That's what we call the enrichment of the interstellar medium. it's his how these elements appear so the thinking now is that the accident actually formed at a time when first of all there was less carbon than there is now the there was more recently Because the the carbon is one of the the the sort of indicators that suggest it is brighter in this region of the spectrum than it should be a more carbon it would be entering that region until while saying is yes. This is a star that formed from the primordial mix not quite primordial without some heavier elements in. It wouldn't be parts of first generation of stars that is back to the early years of the universe perhaps thirteen no so billion years ago. So it's very very old star and they now suggests that the might be a whole populations as things that have been missed because we've got these peculiar response in the different way buns fascinating. It's also moving rather fast. Yes it is correct. It's whizzing round Let me do the calculation. In my head it's Several hundred kilometers per second about eight hundred hundred thousand kilometers per hour out of yet. So you divide by three thousand six six hundred which i'm doing my head getting a about two hundred kilometers per second. Nothing his on. That's moving along. It's not far away the fifty lot years. Yes quite close. That's right to whizzing by. Yes really interesting object..

Breaking Down the Science Behind OneWeb's Planned Constellation
"On monday we talked about the successful deployment of thirty four internet satellites by uk. Communications company one web bringing their total network to two hundred eighty eight satellites. Their goal is to reach six hundred and forty eight satellites by twenty twenty two. But how in the world does the internet come all the way down from space satellites straight down into your ears right. Now let's take a closer look at some far out satellite science one. Web satellites is a joint venture with airbus. They aim to deploy a constellation of up to nine hundred. Low earth orbit satellites at around one thousand two hundred kilometers altitude to provide high speed internet. These efforts intend to compete with spacex. His starling system which currently has one thousand seven hundred internet satellites orbiting the earth at five hundred fifty kilometers altitude amazon also has plans to launch internet satellites for its project copier constellation. All of these companies are aiming towards providing low latency internet from space. But how does it work rather than sending internet signals through electric cables satellite internet beams information through the vacuum of space or it travels forty seven percent faster than fiber optic cable. This is particularly interesting for remote locations where laying electric cables is complicated in order to transfer a signal. You i need to emit one. So i and internet signal is delivered to a large antenna or earth station on the ground and this station then sends radio waves up into space targeting a specific satellite which is around the size of a large table.

"Because you're british columbia your vancouver island At an i think in especially in talking about food and production practices is important for people to get a sense of place. Where is it coming from. What you have to work with because I'm not sure that you would do exactly the same thing that if you were in a desert in arizona as you might do in vancouver island british columbia ch- so paint a picture of you wouldn't yeah so the the geographical context of where i am is Vancouver island is about I think at six hundred fifty miles long thousand kilometers long in about two hundred kilometers across was one hundred fifty miles across. And it's mostly mountains so we are wedged between the mountains and the ocean now on the inward side so on the east side of vancouver island. So we're facing Seattle and vancouver the big cities on the mainland. It's a two hour ferry ride over to the island now. I live in a town with a population of about one hundred thousand and then the big town south end of the island to our south of me is about a million people And so we have very rainy weather. Just like seattle or vancouver. We don't have a very harsh winter. You know it might snow one day and it's melted in a week or something like that now here because we're wedged between the ocean and the mountains. There are a lot of very small farms. There used to be larger farms. But they've been broken up into small acreages so the majority of the properties here are by five to ten acres and then a few fifty two hundred and fifty acre property. So i focus on my main lease that i've had since twenty nineteen and the one i spoke about an original. Podcast was a five acre plot and just for context the going rate for lease i pay a hundred or two hundred dollars per acre per year on that five so i pay a thousand dollars lease on that now..

"Employ standalone involve. Then we'll volve the station. They're based on growth in needs to give listeners this little perspective when you say some of these modules. Is it like the size of a car. A house a bus a wet. They're about five meters wide. So you see these pictures of a bus inside a double decker bus. I think there's a picture of the double decker bus inside the columbus module so our module is probably one and a half times one and three quarters times. That's probably put almost to double decker buses in one of those modules a fairly large modules We're really pushing. The upper limit of the launch capability of the available launch systems. Actually throw it. Orbit will be about thirty metric tonnes at launch. So it's very heavy modules. So what are they going to do with the old iss or they just gonna shoot the sun to burn it up. What's the plan with that. Well that's a fascinating effort. Which i did the last two or three years of my career For just how we would dispose of it. I like you can't break it little pieces and throw it away. The little pieces need some system. That's going to carry it away stations all integrated so we have developed a plan to the orbit and the plan. We generally keep about Tons of fuel on board the iss give or take it all times so the first thing we do to deorbit once we're done so we would separate and then they do their. I burn burn. Burn about four to five metric tons of fuel ended starts the decay and it takes about six months then to get from four hundred commerce down to about two hundred kilometers up to that big burn and at that point they'll bring up a couple of cargo vehicles and the origin k. A little bit and then they'll do a plan. Big burn to deorbit to a specific point on the earth and really if you look at the orbits so thing goes around the earth. I'm telling me way more than you want to know around the earth. Sixteen times a day and there's one orbit has about a twenty three thousand kilometer. Stretch where you don't go over landmass but she for that one because we have these giant solar rays. They'll blow off. I and pieces of that will come down and then big pressurized modules. About halfway down they'll start calling off. And then the big heavy things like the rate gyros dense mass objects will go further down range so we need a very long spot and of course when you only have one orbited the orbit and then there's a big debate about will or is your backup backup stuff like that. The short answer to questions they have to deal with the whole space station as one whole piece and it's not as easy as it sounds doesn't sound easy off. Sounds actually really complicated. So once you start billeness. And i kind of think of it i imagine i got a four year old like putting together sort of lego blocks and eventually adding modules and overtime and i get most listeners. Get the sorta habitation the tourism part the jumping off to moon mars stuff. What are the other use cases for like the space economy. You referenced a few earlier in the show. You want to expand a little bit. On some of the commercialization possibilities that could be accomplished in the low-earth orbit the country's today on orbit really focused on the research on really the reason why the research is unique is when you can pull were avenue out which is by far the largest impact to any biological activity that occurs. You learn a lot about what the secondary and tertiary factors are in anything in any sort of processes so for years. Doing things in micro environment is taught. They've learned a lot about well just like just pick something pharmaceuticals forces been the biggest. Human spaceflight has been all about the testing of the human body in this reaction on. There's been a number of capabilities drugs that have been born or tried to have been born out of mike revie marmot so that will continue or continue on i s s before we get that but perhaps more significantly is the research that is starting to be done today to figure out how to utilize microgravity environment to make things so today. There's testing on orbit for a fiber called z. Bland fiber and what happens in a microgravity environment. You don't have convection. You don't have sedimentation because there's really no gravity or gravity's canceled out. You're in a constant state of revolt. and so with the gravity started canceled out. When you pull a fiber in orbit this hot fiber the molecules all the natural forces the molecules and the charges on molecules they separate informed very even homogeneous products and we need pulled vibrance basis very pure in terms of the homogeneous of the product itself. And as such. It's much more effective so this particular fiber so capable when.

The vast vast majority of objects orbiting the planet is considered space junk. Something that doesn't currently have a purpose and doesn't have a purpose in the foreseeable future. Millions of tiny space debris like dust flex of paint from rocket a rogue toothbrush. A glove lost by astronaut. On a spacewalk there even some entire antique rocket bodies and defunct retro satellites from as early as the late fifties two experimental satellites koto deca poll one and decca paul to sometimes called porcupine one and two because they have seven foot antennas so they look like sections and then not working anymore that technically space jam. I cost quite loves him. Wind satellites like dudek apple one and two and many many other spacecraft from decades ago designed to go up the weren't really designed to come down and while it's cool they're up there all of these obsolete zipping around earth orbit can also be cause for concern they might lead to space collisions festival that can cause extensive spice crops.

"My personal experience. I've known about sixteen psyches into those master student. Because it's one of the asteroids. Used in when i was writing my master's thesis on asteroids orbit so it's an old friend is sixteen psyche but it's also a famous as an asteroid because for some years now. Astronomers have thought that what we're seeing in this asteroid is the the metal core of a proto planet and approach the planet planets grow out of there being formed and this is a proto planet. That's how it's rocky mantle not tough leaving behind just the metal core because we know it's highly metallic and we can tell from measurements. That surfaces is very very metallic. It's about two hundred kilometers across is one of the bigger asteroids not the small object and indeed all the speculation that we can talk about now is going to be set to rest in. I think about four years because there's a mission going to sixteen psyche is a nasa mission. It's called psyche and by the way psyche is the greek goddess of the soul. A very nice very nice name but the thinking now which comes from research. The university of arizona is that it's it's density is too low for it to be the solid metal core of a proto planet. I'm why what they're saying is in fact the turning around they're talking about porosity porosity is if you think of something like a piece of pumice. The per audacity is the amount of empty space within it. And the perot city of sixteen psyche has now been measured to be about thirty five percent. Which means that thirty. Five percent of its bulk is empty. Space and. That doesn't really tally with the idea of a metallic the metallic core of a of a proto planet. Unless it's kind of more solid in the middle. It's just a bit frothy. On the outside which i guess is a possibility but this that sort of detail is is probably not something. We'll really get to see until the psyche spacecraft gets it will on psyche can't remember but in a few years time and hopefully we'll give us much more detail in fact we'll get a very precise measurement of its density from that and as well as much else besides so so. Yeah watch this. Space is the answer there. Yeah interesting story. Yeah have they been able to compare it to other objects that yes yeah. That's a good question. Thank you for raising that. Because there's business suggestion that it might actually be a rubble pile and we know of many rubble piles in fact. Two of them have been visited by spacecraft recently. Banu and what was it called rio google the other one banu and ryu goo that they are in fact spacecraft are on their way back to earth with samples from both those asteroids. They're they're rubble piles. Just you know. Daybreak that's bound together quite loosely. But they have more than fifty percent which has half the space half of the asteroid is empty space inside it. Psyche is not at that level but it does make them wonder. If maybe what we're seeing is perhaps metallic core of protoplanetary as was originally thought..

Israel Independence War Era Weapons Cache Discovered in Tel Aviv

But you know how it is. You put your grenades and your artillery shells in your bulletin a whole under bush in your yard and then you get busy ensure the brits go home but you tell yourself you'll empty the gun whole tomorrow and if it's not one thing it's another before you know it seventy odd years of pass that is just life in the big city so this week. The police bomb squad piloted remote control. Sapper robots under the tree and they exploded some of the grenades shells and bullets. And they neutralize the rest and sent them to the tel aviv. Forensics lab for further investigation. And for those of you wondering and who isn't wondering isaac jacob adolf. Crimea was the french jewish attorney who in eighteen. Forty along with sir. Moses montefiore made the trip to alexandria egypt to plead before Dive mohammed ali for the release of jews arrested in damascus blood. Libel that rocked the jewish world that year and crimea and montefiore secured freedom for nine of the thirteen syrian. Jews accused of killing christians for their blood. The other four having already died while being tortured after that chromium became minister of justice of france under the second republic in eighteen forty eight and he later founded the 'alliance eastern elite universal in paris in eighteen.

Going old Turkey: a regional power spreads
"A decade ago, Turkey's Foreign Minister Audit of Attalou used to boast his country was on good terms with everyone police fantasia want. less confrontation, less tense attitude. Especially, in the region, he spoke at the Council on foreign, relations with the will of the principal. In. Two thousand three. Zero problems with our neighbors. And the made a huge progress. All, that now seems a distant memory Turkey is growing its international influence and not always with a light touch. The country has been backing Libya's government in its civil war. Last month. The Turkish Defence Minister landed in Libya to inspect his troops and opposition warlord warned them to get out or else. Turkey prompted an angry statement from Egypt last week by allegedly planning gas exploration and Egyptian waters. And yesterday Turkish officials railed against an American company for its dealings with ethnic Kurds in neighboring Syria. That Turkey believes to be terrorists. To some, all this adventurism is reminiscent of past chapter of the country's history when the Ottoman Empire ruled all of Syria and far beyond. Turkey, has been playing an especially prominent role in Syria since protests spread into a full blown civil war. Turkey has really become a meshed in Syria since the start of the our spring, the uprisings that took place in two thousand eleven across the Middle East it back. The Islamist. Movements that initially took to the streets and then took up arms. Nicholas Pelham is our Middle East correspondent. But as those fighters were false back towards its border, it's really stepped into try and protect its southern border, stop any more refugees coming into the country and to provide some sort of safe zone for the proteges, and it's also very nervous about the current state law that emotion the northeast of the country. It feels very threatened by the emergence of Kurdish power on the southern borders, and is it reasonable for Turkey to think that those Kurdish forces are really a threat historic? The have been links between the PK, the cuts down Workers Party, which has been waging a thirty five year a war for. Autonomy and separatism inside Turkey. Many of those fighters did flee sought refuge in Iraq and in Syria, and so Turkey is worried about what it sees very much kind of PKK influenced state emerging on its southern borders. So this year it's been launching pretty heavy attacks inside Iraq, it's been sending tanks across the border. It's established positions inside northern Iraq. It's been carrying out drone bombardments, such two hundred kilometers from its border in Saint, John More, Kurds all the way along its southern border inside Syria inside. Iraq see a new Turkish assault, which is pushing deep into their territory and not just unsettling. Kurdish aspirations for sovereignty in Iraq and Syria, and this is also unnerving Arab leaders as well. Who Turkey pushing deep into territory, which was part of the Turkish Republic predecessor. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled the Middle East centuries until its dissolution about a century ago, which is to say that Turkey is expanding its influence is doing this adventurism beyond Iraq and Syria all over the Middle East of the moment. There's a this year has seen the new intervention of the Turkish, Army. Libya. They came to the rescue of the besieged government of National Accord. In Tripoli, which has been fighting a civil war against a renegade general. Khalifa. After Turkish forces established at base on the borders of Tunisia, we're seeing it's frigates make a bid for control of looking coastline and even ward off French frigates. We're really seeing a substantive increase in Turkish. Power across the Middle East and it's not just happening in Liberia. It's happening in Gaza, which is an ally of Turkey. Turkish forces there have tried to help. Cut Break Its blockade by Saudi Arabia they're. A. Few hundred to a few thousand Turkish forces that are they're wasting more Turkish interested in Yemen civil war. We're seeing interest in a Sudanese port and actually Turkey's largest overseas basis in the point of Africa. So really this is a massive increase in Turkey spread across the middle, East and do you believe that the the the Ottoman history plays into that as a return to former glories? In some way? It's very much the in the rhetoric certainly saw Mr. Osman tropes at the at the height of the Arab spring wanted to appear to be the leader of the Muslim world. He was promoting his version of governance across the region hoping to clone the Turkish model across the Middle East. But since the collapse of Islamist movement since its as from power in Egypt and the retreat of many of its forces, he's really kind of played much more on Turkey's national interests. He's ally domestically with what had been his nationals opposition. He seems to be much more concerned on trying to maximize Turkey's economic claims in the. The Mediterranean this since much more about promoting Turkey's national interests than flying it systems colors. This is really an exercise in in hard power and trying to exploit the weakness of others, the retreat of Europe and America from the Middle East. The policies of many Arab governments, and try and push Turkey to fill what seems to be a vacuum of power across the Middle East, and so is that push to serve Turkey's national interests working is, is it benefiting from this from this expansionism? If you're trying to put together a balance sheet of profit balance sheet? Sheet Turkey has benefited from Khatri investment cutters, loans, and investments have helped prop up the Turkish lira. It may be that country's also hoping to fund part of its military costs in Libya Turkeys, keen to promote its companies when it comes to eventual reconstruction of war-torn Libya, which after all is energy rich state, and so long term, there may be benefits, his critics home highlight, the cost it's estimated that Turkish operations in Syria have cost anything up to about thirty billion dollars, and of course, there is a threat that you're going to see a major escalation. Escalation in the Middle East, which could embroil Turkey. It's not just Turkey is entering the middle, East enforce. It's also Russia. Many Arab states are trying to gain Russian support to push back Turkey, not just Syria Egypt the United Arab Emirates looking to Russian support in Libya, and Egypt is sending its tanks to the Libyan borders. The UN warned that the risk of a of a regional war focused on Libya and beyond that that risk was huge. So this is a massive gamble and it looks as if the stakes are going to be increasingly hyphen

A Mountain Bike Adventure Through Greenland
"Our first guest is Chris Wing. He's the owner of big mountain bike adventures based in Whistler Canada and he's just launched a mountain biking tripping greenland inspired by his photographer. Friend been hanging. What are you laughing at? My insurance coverage along a guy who's solo traverse the route said Proxima two hundred kilometer trail trail. And it's all self supported very remote and he did this on his own and And then you know we spoke about it and I'm a I'm a tour operator amount by tour operator and have been almost twenty years and I thought it was an interesting idea to go there with you know with a small group of people and consider launching a you know a guided trip The first ever actually agreement. So yeah so. It was Benn's initial reconnaissance trip. And then we you know he was the the very first person to have ever mountain biking greenland there have been You know people going there in the wintertime and and snowbiking but In terms the traditional mountain biking. He was the first and then we went over this past September a few months ago with a group of five and checked it out. I I I can imagine that the favorite of logistics involved in Making show this is a safe journey as well. It some it's truly. You know I've been. I've been in this business for almost twenty years. I've never never been to such a remote destination as as greenland and you know. It's one of those. It's one of those trips that you you know. It's it's an adventure. It's a trip but it's really truly an expedition where you need to plan for For possibilities where things could would go from comfortable and fairly exposed to very exposed quickly. You know if you had a You you know if the weather turned or or an injury or even a simple mechanical problems your bike you know getting somebody evacuated in that part of the world is you know it's a is is quite an ordeal so Yeah it was. It was definitely required. Some very careful planning and you know the right group of people that need to come together to do this trip. It looks amazing. Unlike the downhill beat the buy. Yes yes no doubt. Two hundred and fifty as it's not easy easy there is some challenging aspects to it. Yeah no it's it's true in. It's it's a bike packing trip also and which is kind of a a a- An emerging style of mountain biking It's become quite popular in you know in recent years and and basically it's like going on hiking trip but with your mountain bike where you're you know you've got very very light wage setup. That's that's fixed on your bike. So they've developed. You know really cool bags that fit onto your bike. In such a way that don't inhibit. The you know the the writer from from peddling and maneuvering a new ring the bike so it's not like traditional paint gays but these are small bags it kind of fit in various places on your bike and as I said has to be very very lightweight late light lightweight they've developed ten specifically per byte by packing. And so you're you know you're riding. You're pushing your bike From point to appoint in camping during the night. So it's It's really definitely an acquired experience. Not everyone yeah. I hang on light white and called called by doesn't seem to get to be old. That's Oh yeah you're hundred percent correct like I. I consider myself to be someone that's experienced quite a few ooh difficult situations and hardships. And and I you know I I love I love being out in the elements But on this trip I was. It's you're you're you're exactly correct where you know. You need to pack as lightly as possible in almost that kind of scenario where your cut your toothbrush. Notice Shave a few grams Type of thing and and your food everything has to be really calculated every Calorie But when we arrived camps he'd been writing approximately eight to ten hours a day in you pull into a you know the place where you're GonNa camp for the night and then all of a sudden you know your body is cooling down and MM attempt is cooling down considerably and The nights that we're you know we're there. Your I was basically every single layer of clothing that I had in my sleeping bag while sleeping so it was Yeah it was a little bit you know it was on the verge of being like okay. This is a little bit. Almost you know Berry exposed where you know that if you've got every single layer on clothing in your sleeping bag through the night that You know there's no margin. There's very little margin. Farrah Garad for for comfort. That say you'd say you're writing details today but that must be because you have to keep stopping and looking at the amazing reviews. Some you know it's it's it's an amazing place really I mean. The Arctic is is unique and appreciated just the vast remote nature of Greenland. Just you know there wasn't you'd stop. Stop Riding and look around and it was you know completely dead silent you know. We saw a reindeer couple of eagles GREENLANDIC. Eagles would come and check us out and men That was that was pretty much yet terms of wildlife and you know just a few other hikers here and there that we encounter. I had that feeling feeling. We all did where you're just so so remote and so exposed to the elements that it was a little unnerving at times where you felt like h you know it was kind of another level of exposure. We can greenland but very cool all and memorable. That's for sure we spot device that allowed us to send a text if we you know in an emergency I find when you're when you go to places like like Greenland that haven't seen a lot of tourism you're you gain this kind of really deep appreciation for nature Because it seems like a planet is becoming more traveled and places cases are more busier than they've ever been and so to go to a place that has few humans is is quite quite special and you really feel like you want to do your best protect Greenland of course and then everywhere else you go. We are essentially a travel insurance company at the end. Yes no ask you some questions about how you did. Some preparations reparations because yeah in providing travel insurance in Suchai remote like we've got some problems as you say it's hot get somebody evacuated. It's expensive. There's a problem for us because we provide the service that we like to promise that we can't because it's impossible because it just doesn't exist for that reason why not sell policies cease to North Korea because we can't do job that did you have any special resources. Did you hook up with a evacuation company. How did you will nice thank you well? It's it's a very good question because we're you know we're we're of course boldly going to be selling packages to to greenland to to those. That have the experience and the The ability first and foremost on if we needed to be evacuated we would have to be calling in a helicopter. OPT from from nook. which is the you know the capital? It's a horribly expensive operation. You know we just are very transparent of course swith participants in that if if it's if it's required you know it's something that one is going to have to You know to foot the bill folks for obviously we do we do have the contact in place if it was needed and dob we we do everything we possibly can to to avoid. You know having to get enough in evacuating

Earth's Last Magnetic Pole Flip Happened Much More Slowly Than Previously Thought
"Any study suggests earth's magnetic poles may take far longer to flip than previously. I thought a new analysis reported in the journal science advances shows. The process may take up to twenty two thousand years to complete. That's more than twice as long as the nine thousand years. He's previously estimated this growing evidence that earth's magnetic poles are about to flip the north magnetic pole will become south and the south magnetic pole will become north last time. This happened with some seven hundred and seventy thousand years ago when it does happen. It'll be the first magnetic field polarity reversal in modern times times and that raises some serious questions about how today's technology with coq with the change to us me mortals on the surface of this revolving planet around the sun first magnetic field seemed steady and true reliable enough to navigate by your largely hidden from daily life less your pilot. The magnetic field drifts waxes awesome wayne's constantly when i'm flying one of the first things i do when i get in the cockpit of an aircraft is to readjust the cockpits compass to the latest readings for true north both for years. The magnetic north pole was wandering around pats of northern canada but more recently it's been careering towards siberia which recently forced the global positioning positioning system which underlies old model navigation updated software sooner than expected to account for the shift on average the magnetic pole shifts and reverses versus. That's polarity roughly every hundred and fifty thousand years or so that with the last one occurring some seven hundred and seventy thousand years ago with long jude for the knicks flip and there are some early signs that a possible paul reversal may be about to occur the accelerating movement of the north magnetic pole is one sign another other is something known as the south atlantic anomaly a weed pad of the south atlantic ocean between brazil and africa compass needles go nuts pointing south instead of north north and it's not just compass needles affected the south atlantic anomaly region causes earth ina van allen radiation belt to move closer to the earth surface dipping down onto just two hundred kilometers in altitude this results in an increase flocks of energetic particles in this region exposing orbiting spacecraft the high than usual levels of radiation listen effect the international space station required extra shielding just deal with this problem nashes reported that modern laptops of crushed aboard space shuttle flights as they a pass through the anomaly and the hubble space telescope doesn't do any observations while it's passing through the anomaly whether or not the south atlantic anomaly really does mean a polls colds are about the flip polarity is yet to be saying the problem is scientists have only a very limited understanding as to exactly why the film reversals occur or how they happen now new research by university of wisconsin madison geologist brad singer suggests the most recent short reversal seven hundred and seventy thousand years ago took at least twenty the two thousand years to complete that several times longer than previously thought and the results further color the question some controversial findings that some polar reversals could occur within inhuman lifetime than you analysis is based on advances in measurement capabilities at a global survey of lava flows ocean sediment at arctic ice coast rose providing a more detailed look at a turbulent time for earth's magnetic field of a millennia. The planet's magnetic food weakened partly shifted stabilized the game and then finally reversed for good to the orientation we know today. The new results provide a clearer m._o. Nuanced picture of reversals at a time when some scientists believe we may maybe experiencing the early stages of paul reversal and you other researchers dispute the very notion of a present day. Paul reversal singer says unless you have the complete accurate accurate in high resolution record of water filled reversal really's like it would be difficult to discuss the mechanics of generating one. We know that earth's magnetic field is produced by the planet's molten alton liquid metallic out of core as it spins around the solid. I and inigo generating powerful electromagnetic currents. What's coda jet dynamo this year dynamic in a creative field. That's most stable going through roughly the geographic north and south poles but the field shifts in weakened significantly during reversals. We know this because <unk> asni rocks formed typically other volcanic lava flows or a sediments being deposited on the sea floor they leave a record the magnetic field the time they were created and geologists can survey this global record piecing together. The history of magnetic fields going back millions of years. Their record is clearest for the most recent reversal that one seven hundred seventy thousand years ago for the current analysis singer and colleagues looked at lava flows from chile to haiti hawaii the caribbean and the canary islands and they collected samples from these latter flows of several field seasons lava flows are ideal records of the magnetic field they have lots of iron bearing ring minerals and as cool and solidify they lock in the direction of the planet's magnetic field the research is combined magnetic field readings and radio acid type dating samples from seven lava flow sequences to recreate the magnetic field over a span of seventy thousand years centered on las reversal they found the final reverse was quite quick by geological standards less than four thousand years but it had been preceded by an extended period of instability included excursions which are temporary partial reversals the polls stretching back another eighteen thousand years. That's more than twice as long as suggested by other studies which claimed reversals wrap up within about nine thousand years the lava flow the data was corroborated by magnetic readings from the seafloor which provided more continuous but less precise source of data than lab iraq's single and colleagues also used at arctic ice core samples apples to track the deposition of beryllium which is produced by cosmic radiation colliding with molecules in the atmosphere. You say when the magnetic reversing weakens allowing more radiation in from space to hit the atmosphere producing more beryllium since humanity began recording the strength of the earth's magnetic field. It's actually decrease in strength by about five percent century century and his records like singing shows. A weakening field seems to be a precursor to an eventual field reversal although it's far from clear that a reversal is imminent reversing planetary magnetic food would significantly affect navigation as well as satellite and terrestrial communications but if the current studies right it means society would have many generations to adapt to what would be a lengthy period of magnetic instability stewart gary.

The polls of earth's magnetic field. Don't lineup perfectly with its polls of rotation.
"Hanging out in earth's orbit is no easy task you already know satellites and structures, like the international space station have to deal with things like space, debris and cosmic rays and dust and all sorts of stuff. But have you heard of the south Atlantic and nominally, it's an area of our planet. That has a big impact on the delicate electronics we send into space I'll get to that in a minute. But first, let's back up and talk about the radiation belts that actually protect our entire planet. The earth is surrounded by two Donut shaped masses of high energy. Particles called the van Allen belts. Those particles are leftovers of cosmic rays shooting in from outside. Our solar system that became trapped in the earth's magnetic field the exist in that belt configuration because the magnetic field follows a telltale pattern when you know, if you've ever seen iron filings sprinkled around a magnet, the high energy particles would be dangerous on their own. But when they're trapped in the van, Allen belts. They actually shield the earth from any other dangerous particles that might elbow their way in thanks for protecting us van Allen belts. Actually, don't be too grateful. Just yet the polls of earth's magnetic field. Don't lineup perfectly with its polls of rotation. They're actually tilted by eleven degrees. That means the van Allen belts are tilted to. And that means that the inner Donut shaped massive deadly high energy particles dips dangerously low to the earth surface as close as one hundred and twenty four miles or two hundred kilometers at some points over the south Atlantic and. Zil that dip which is called the south Atlantic anomaly is well below the path of a lot of satellites which are forced to pass through the belt and get pummeled by protons. And we're talking pummeled every square centimeter is hit three thousand times per second. That abuse can cause all sorts of problems from data glitches to electron damage. Engineers actually, tell their satellites to power down whenever they pass through the anomaly because they hope that will protect their data. Yeah. It's pretty intense. Anyway, the south Atlantic anomaly could be a symptom of the earth's magnetic fields changing, and you can read more about that on our full right up on this. But suffice it to say if you're heading into space anytime soon, you might wanna check your map to make sure you won't be passing through the south Landik anomaly, or you're gonna have a bad time

The Hunt for Water Beneath Mars
"In July. A paper was published. I could put an end to the speculation of the existence of water on Mars. Spoiler alert. It's there I spoke with Tim cross the economists science correspondent about it. I guess the first thing we should say is actually there's no shortage of traumas. It's just that it seems to be almost all ice. So there's millions of kilometers of ice on enough to drown the whole planet in one hundred foot deep ocean rule to melt, but what people are really have been wondering about for a long time ever since the eighteen ninety s this whole idea that you could canals on the Martian surface was whether any of it was liquid and up until today. Really when when this was published the best thing, we had was some observations from orbit, which seemed to show that, you know, very occasionally, you'd get these tiny little bubbling XV, briny water and the bottoms of craters, maybe would have been the Martian, some when it was slightly less cold water could exist on the surface, briefly even. That's never quite been conclusively proven. Now, though what we seem to have is underneath the southern polarize. Couple mas. There is liquid water. I'm not just a little bit is a lake about twenty kilometers across buried about one and a half kilometers down beneath the ice is this the sort of finding that is widely accepted or might there. Be a challenge to it. Well, it's early days the papers only just come out. But everyone I spoke to advance of the publication seem to think it was a pretty good piece of science and the technology. They've used to find it is not new it's a similar sort of what we use on earth to look under the ground. Basically just involves radar you send frequency radar waves into the ground. You wait to see the reflections different substances reflect the radio waves different attends. And so you can you can tell what's down there. So the teams three and a half years of data all of it from from all bit around the southern Martian poll, they said Aidid a two hundred kilometers wide, and they go through in the paper various other explanations rule them out in ways. That people who know more about Jody's seem to find pretty convincing. So I think it's hard to say. But I think it seems to be a pretty solid finding and why do we think it's water and not some other liquid is because of the the characteristics of the radar reflections. Like, I said, there's no actual shortage of water on MAs. The thing that was into missing is liquid water, and you can sort of reason by analogy because what this thing looks an awful lot like is things that with me from from earth. So for instance, underneath Antarctica. There are a whole load of subterranean lakes. One of them lake Vostok is one of the biggest lakes in the world. And they kept liquid by combination of the isolating them from the surface. The fact that the temperatures go up as you go deeper underground and on Mars, you've got the pressure of the is it self will affect the lower the melting point of water as also might the presence of the chemicals that we already know exist on the Martian surface in the basically work like antifreeze. So you could get water the liquid temperatures quite a long way below zero. Which is seems to be what we have here. Let's be honest. Nobody really cares about water on Mars. They care about other life on Mars. How does this finding pointed direction of whether life once existed or currently exists on Mars Kenya? Traducing the geologist if the world lots of people care about that is indeed the big questions. So we know you can see from from orbit. Mas was at one point woman wet, and you can see dry river valleys and deltas and so on. So the hope is always been the maybe four billion years ago when the planet was much warmer and much wetter something did of all since then it's been clinging on in some refuge as the rest of the world or the rest of MA's has dried out frozen on the other hand, though, it's being about three point eight billion years as one wreck incense. Mas lost had water on it. And that's an awful long time for a single lake to have survived one of the scientists. I spoke to pointed out as well that MAs Axial tilt has changed since then, which means the Pola cops will have moved all. Over the surface. So the place where the lake is hasn't necessarily always had is on top of it. So whether this lake is really quite so agent. I think has yet to be proven on the other hand it maybe there are more of these things. There are plenty of them on earth, the same basic geological processes apply, and it may well be that MAs is dotted with these things. And who knows perhaps one of them something has managed to cling. And of course, for now, it's all speculation. But I think what this does do is maybe puts MAs sort of back in contention a bit because Nasr's motto when looking for life was always being followed the water, and for that reason, I recently some of the focus has maybe started to shift a bit to the outer solar system to the moons of planets like Jupiter and satin, which which I see seem to have big liquid oceans of water underneath that surface. Now that we know MAs seems to have as well, I think that may be bumps it back up the rankings.

Mars has a vast liquid water lake beneath its southern pole
"In July. A paper was published. I could put an end to the speculation of the existence of water on Mars. Spoiler alert. It's there I spoke with Tim cross the economists science correspondent about it. I guess the first thing we should say is actually there's no shortage of traumas. It's just that it seems to be almost all ice. So there's millions of kilometers of ice on enough to drown the whole planet in one hundred foot deep ocean rule to melt, but what people are really have been wondering about for a long time ever since the eighteen ninety s this whole idea that you could canals on the Martian surface was whether any of it was liquid and up until today. Really when when this was published the best thing, we had was some observations from orbit, which seemed to show that, you know, very occasionally, you'd get these tiny little bubbling XV, briny water and the bottoms of craters, maybe would have been the Martian, some when it was slightly less cold water could exist on the surface, briefly even. That's never quite been conclusively proven. Now, though what we seem to have is underneath the southern polarize. Couple mas. There is liquid water. I'm not just a little bit is a lake about twenty kilometers across buried about one and a half kilometers down beneath the ice is this the sort of finding that is widely accepted or might there. Be a challenge to it. Well, it's early days the papers only just come out. But everyone I spoke to advance of the publication seem to think it was a pretty good piece of science and the technology. They've used to find it is not new it's a similar sort of what we use on earth to look under the ground. Basically just involves radar you send frequency radar waves into the ground. You wait to see the reflections different substances reflect the radio waves different attends. And so you can you can tell what's down there. So the teams three and a half years of data all of it from from all bit around the southern Martian poll, they said Aidid a two hundred kilometers wide, and they go through in the paper various other explanations rule them out in ways.
