Increasingly volatile climate and weather; vulnerable drinking water supplies; shrinking wildlife habitats; widespread deforestation due to energy and food production. These are examples of environmental challenges that are of critical importance in our world, both in far away places and close to home, and are particularly well suited to inquiry using geographic information systems. In GEOG 487 you will explore topics like these and learn about data and spatial analysis techniques commonly employed in environmental applications. After taking this course you will be equipped with relevant analytical approaches and tools that you can readily apply to your own environmental contexts.

0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Krill oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids which numerous studies have shown to be effective in reducing intestinal inflammation like that associated with inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD. But exactly how krill oil helps has remained unclear. Now, researchers have discovered a few mechanisms that might explain krill oil’s anti-inflammatory effects. Test-tube experiments showed that krill oil suppressed the NF-κB and NOD signaling pathways, which are critical to the innate immune response. Krill oil also enhanced the killing capacity of macrophages, bacteria-fighting cells that help reduce inflammation. In pigs, krill oil reduced the abundance of Rickettsiales, pathogenic bacteria found in humans and livestock. Computational analyses also revealed distinct microbial signatures associated with adding krill oil to the diet..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
