Since 1980, the planet’s north and south poles have moved roughly four meters in distance, and new research shows that shifts in the Earth’s rotational axis have accelerated since the 1990s as a result of the widespread melting of glaciers a clear manifestation, scientists say, of the climate emergency.
“Faster ice melting under global warming was the most likely cause of the directional change of the polar drift in the 1990s,” Shanshan Deng a researcher from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences told the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Thursday.

Ratajeski met with Clark to discuss how he could support her and find out more about how she learns best. The professor realized there were few ready-made tactile resources for blind students studying geosciences and took matters into his own hands creating models and tactile course materials that Clark could feel with her fingertips.
After Clark graduated in 2017, Ratajeski continued that work creating a digital repository of tactile graphics for other students and professors to print out and use in their classes.
Tactile Graphics
Learning through touch is very important to Clark, now 25, who started learning Braille when she was 5 and became almost completely blind when she was a teenager. Throughout her K-12 education, a staff member created tactile graphics for Clark with diagrams and pictures annotated in Braille. She didn t find that same type of support in higher education.

Let’s face it, it’s not possible to replace everyone in Congress with scientists and doctors (though, thinking about it, wouldn’t that be such a different world?). Nor need we the depth of experience from our policymakers is what helps get stuff done in all facets of policy. The best way to hold the government accountable to its mission to protect the public good is for scientists to guide lawmakers to understand the importance of science research.
