This research examines how Earth and Environmental Sciences are woven into and how important they are within higher education, particularly as a response to today's environmental problems. It highlights the key issue of their rather limited presence in curricula, which, it's argued, hampers students- preparedness for the sustainability challenges that define the 21st century. Primary data gathered on curriculum content, teaching methods, and how students perceive these, reveals a clear gap between current educatio...

This research explores whether multilingual education can boost understanding and involvement in environmental and earth sciences. The central question is whether having different languages in schools helps students grasp different scientific ideas better. A mixed-methods approach was used, gathering qualitative data from interviews and focus groups with teachers and students. Academic performance and how engaged students were in multilingual classrooms were also measured quantitatively. It turns out that students...

This research confronts the linguistic hegemony within geoscience education, which systematically marginalizes non-native English speakers and constrains global capacity building. Moving beyond merely identifying this barrier, the research proposes and evaluates concrete multilingual strategies to foster a more equitable and effective discipline. Through qualitative investigations, including interviews with educators, students, and professionals, and a systematic review of existing resources, we identify both best...

Remote sensing techniques are increasingly used in land surface monitoring processes. The development of satellite systems has led to increasingly complex research in terms of analysis and monitoring of large land areas, with reduced costs and high efficiency. In this research, a satellite scene from 03.07.2024 taken over by the Landsat 9 remote sensing system was used, the scene identifier being LC09_L2SP_186028_20240730_20240731_02_T1, WRS_PATH 186 and WRS_ROW 28, UTM projection system, Datum WGS84, Ellipsoid WG...

The work aims to acquire LiDAR data and checking the scan quality in QC Tools for Sanmihaiu Roman hydro technical arrangement located on the Bega Canal, Timis County, Romania, using mobile scanning technology MMS - Mobile Mapping System, using portable backpack equipment from Swiss manufacturer Leica, the Pegasus Backpack model. The Method of LiDAR Data Collection is a Fused Slam one, where, a Master Station has been located for the purchase of RiNEX data, using some GNSS receiver, the Leica GS 08. The raw data pr...

The relief, as genetic factor and пїЅsupportпїЅ on which the grassland areas are engrafted on, may be equally considered the major decisive element for vegetationпїЅs type, aspect and consistency, through altitude, slope and orientation. This study will highlight the influence exerted on grassland areas by relief factors, in mountain and sub-mountain regions, and subsequently it will determine the differentiated landscaping пїЅnormsпїЅ in concordance with the singularity of each analyzed sector. The grassland asse...
