Ice cores, tree rings, paintings/drawings, and global temperature data provide evidence of past climate change:
- Ice cores contain air bubbles that allow scientists to estimate past temperatures over 800,000 years and identify climate patterns. However, data is limited to specific locations.
- Tree rings indicate past climate conditions, with narrow rings representing cooler periods and wide rings warmer periods. But some tree species do not produce reliable rings.
- Paintings and diaries describe visual representations of past climate events but are subjective accounts that are hard to date accurately.
- Global temperature records from weather stations and satellites show modern warming of 0.6°C since 1950, but data is limited and station coverage is uneven.
Climate: Climatic Change - Evidence, Cycles and The Futuregeomillie
A PowerPoint used in class to cover the key forms of evidence you need to know for the Exam. Key Questions are likely to be focused on how we can gain information of past climatic change, and how it can be used to predict future, and I would expect you to be able to comment on the usefulness of the different types. For instance, Ice cores are highly accurate and quantifiable evidence, but gaining them is expensive, and only gives a climatic record for the site at which the snow formed. However, they do provide the longest record of change.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.

Periods
4. Key Words
Key Word Definition
Quaternary Period The most recent geological period covering
last 2.6 million years, which there were
several cold and warm periods.
Ice Age A glacial episode characterised by lower than
average global temperatures.
Climate Change Changes in long-term temperature and
precipitation patterns. It can be natural or
linked to human activities.
Inter-glacial
Periods
Historic warming periods between glacial
periods, where conditions were similar to
today.
5. What is the
Quaternary Period?
The Earth is believed to be 4.55 billion years old.
The period of time that stretches from 2.6 million
years ago to the present day is called the
Quaternary period.
The entire Quaternary period is often called an ice
age due to the presence of a permanent ice sheet
on the continent of Antarctica.
6. Last 400,000 Years
The human species
evolved about
200,000 years ago
Temperatures have
remained relatively
stable and warmer for
longer Inter-glacial episodes
last approximately
10,000 years; ice
retreats during these
warmer intervals
Glacial episodes last approximately
100,000 years; thick ice expands,
covering vast areas of continents
7. What evidence do we
have for climate change?
Evidence for past climate change can be gathered
from a range of sources including:
-Global temperature data
-Ice cores
-Tree rings
-Paintings and diaries
8. Ice Cores
How can ice cores be used as
evidence for climate change?
How is this a reliable method?
How is this not a reliable method? Oxygen, carbon dioxide and methane in
ice cores can help estimate past
temperature (spanning 800,000 years)
by comparing it against present levels.
Scientists drill deep into the ice in the
Antarctic and Greenland to extract ice
that is thousands of years old.
+ The data is considered to be very
reliable.
- Data only spans the last 800,000
years so it is difficult to compare
beyond that.
- Ice cores are geographically limited.
9. Tree Rings
How can tree rings be used as
evidence for climate change?
How is this a reliable method?
How is this not a reliable method? Each tree ring represents a year of
growth.
Narrow tree rings indicate cooler and
drier past climate conditions.
Wider tree rings indicate warmer and
wetter past conditions.
+ Samples can be easily compared and
dated.
+ Can tell precisely when the tree ring
was created.
- Some trees (birch and willow) can not
be used due to their erratic growth
cycle.
- Alder and pine trees are well known for
missing out tree rings.
10. Paintings and
Drawings
How can paintings and drawings be
used as evidence for climate
change?
How is this a reliable method?
How is this not a reliable method?
Diaries and written observations can
suggest evidence of climate change at
the time such as:
Price increases of grain in Europe. Sea
ice preventing ships from landing in
Iceland. People emigrating due to crop
failures.
+ Provides a visual representation.
- Cave paintings are difficult to date
accurately.
- Personal accounts and art are
subjective viewpoints.
11. Global
Temperature Data
How can global temperature
data be used as evidence for
climate change?
How is this a reliable
method?
How is this not a reliable
method?
NASA use over 1000 ground weather
stations and satellite information to map
global temperature.
Average global temperatures have
increased by 0.6°C since 1950 and
0.85°C since 1880.
-Weather stations are not evenly
distributed (especially in Africa), so
reliability could be questioned.
-Computer programmes are used to
make the global temperature maps, but
this does not make them reliable.
-Data only goes back to 1880.
