Importance of Weather
Scenes of flooding and storms show us just how much weather and climate can affect our lives. Climate affects nearly every aspect of our lives, from our food sources to our transport infrastructure, from what clothes we wear, to where we go on holiday. It has a huge effect on our livelihoods, our health, and our future.

Plastic Island: . Content Warning.
Once, the vast ocean shimmered with life and untamed beauty. Waves crashed against pristine shores, teeming with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine creatures. But now, an island of sorrow had emerged, an abomination formed solely from humanity's disregard for the environment—a haunting testament to our collective failure.

"Dancing with the Elements: Maya's Journey to Save the Earth"
Once upon a time, in a small coastal village, there lived a young girl named Maya. She had grown up amidst the breathtaking beauty of the ocean, with its turquoise waves crashing against the golden sands. The village thrived on fishing and relied on the bounties of the sea for their livelihood. Maya's father, a seasoned fisherman, often took her along on his boat, teaching her the secrets of the ocean and the delicate balance of nature.

Loss of Natural Spaces . Content Warning.
Once upon a time, nestled at the edge of a small town, there lay a breathtaking forest. It was a place of enchantment, where sunlight filtered through the lush canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. Majestic trees stood tall, their branches swaying in harmony with the gentle breeze. A chorus of birdsong filled the air, accompanied by the rustling of leaves and the babbling of a crystal-clear stream.

The great Mystery Behind Earth’s Most Epic Migration. Content Warning.
The notion of Earth's greatest animal migrations usually brings to mind images of immense herds making their annual journey across the Serengeti or transcontinental flights filling the sky with orange hues. However, the most substantial mass migration on Earth occurs every night, and it's happening underwater. During World War II, Sonar detected dense signals emerging from the depths of the ocean, giving the impression that parts of the ocean floor were moving up and down by approximately 3,000 feet. In actuality, the sonar was detecting enormous clusters of tiny creatures known as zooplankton, ascending and descending from the depths to the surface each night. This phenomenon occurs in every ocean, every night, and has left scientists bewildered. The reason for these nearly microscopic plankton making such an incredible journey daily could potentially be linked to biological clocks and climate change. This is the story of Earth's greatest and most mysterious migration. Vertical migration in the ocean is the most extensive animal movement on our planet, an extraordinary fact. As a senior scientist at MBARI, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, I use sound to study the lives of ocean animals. Firstly, one must comprehend how small zooplankton are. They are smaller than the tip of a crayon but travel vast distances in the ocean, especially for their size. If we were to scale the migrations to humans, it would be equivalent to running a 10K twice a day, once to get breakfast and once before bed, all while swimming twice the speed of an Olympic marathon runner. It's an impressive feat that occurs daily. If we tally up all the vertical migration occurring in all the oceans and lakes on earth, we estimate 10 billion tons of biomass, equivalent to 25 times the mass of all humans on earth, moving between the surface and the depths every night. This is known as diel vertical migration or DVM. But why do they go to such great lengths? Vertical migration is one of the most common behaviors observed in the ocean. It occurs with animals of all sizes, but the most abundant migrators, in terms of biomass, are small fish like bristlemouths and lantern fish following the vertical migrations of the zooplankton. This is a different way of thinking since we have always viewed plankton, all of them, as wanderers like the Greek word for plankton defines them. However, they are capable of making decisions.
