Evolution and Earth's Entropy [PDF]

open access: yesAm. J. Phys. 77(9), 773-774 (2009), 2010
Entropy decreases on the Earth due to day/night temperature differences. This decrease exceeds the decrease in entropy on the Earth related to evolution by many orders of magnitude. Claims by creationists that science is somehow inconsistent with regard to evolution are thus show to be baseless.

The utility of earth science information in post-earthquake land-use decision-making: the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence in Aotearoa New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Earth science information (data, knowledge, advice) can enhance the evidence base for land-use decision-making. The utility of this information depends on factors including the context and objectives of land-use decisions, the timeliness and efficiency ...

Teaching Waves with Google Earth [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Educ. 47 (2012) pp. 73-77, 2011
Google Earth is a huge source of interesting illustrations of various natural phenomena. It can represent a valuable tool for science education, not only for teaching geography and geology, but also physics. Here we suggest that Google Earth can be used for introducing in an attractive way the physics of waves.

A global map of local climate zones to support earth system modelling and urban-scale environmental science

open access: yesEarth System Science Data, 2022
. There is a scientific consensus on the need for spatially detailed information on urban landscapes at a global scale. These data can support a range of environmental services, since cities are places of intense resource consumption and waste generation
