Since ancient times, gold has been precious as an accessory used by humans
Merdeka Belajar merupakan program kebijakan baru Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia (Kemendikbud RI) yang dicanangkan oleh Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan RI Kabinet Indonesia Maju, Nadiem Anwar Makarim. Esensi kemerdekaan berpikir, menurut beliau, pembelajaran harus didahului oleh para guru sebelum mereka mengajarkannya pada siswa-siswi. Beliau menyebut, dalam kompetensi guru di level apa pun, tanpa ada proses penerjemahan dari kompetensi dasar dan kurikulum yang ada, maka tidak akan pernah ada pembelajaran yang terjadi. Adapun konsep dari Merdeka Belajar adalah: 1) Dihapuskannya Ujian Nasional (UN) yang digantikan Asesmen Kompetensi Minimum dan Survei Karakter. 2) Pelaksanaan Ujian Sekolah Berstandar Nasional (USBN) yang dikembalikan kepada pihak sekolah. 3) Membentuk siswa yang kompeten, cerdas untuk SDM bangsa, dan berbudi luhu
Kita menyadari bahwa peristiwa 26 Desember 2004 telah menjadi hari peringatan terjadinya Gempa dan Tsunami di Aceh, dan memakan banyak korban jiwa. Hingga saat ini, peristiwa Gempa dan Tsunami belum mampu dilupakan oleh masyarakat, terutama Aceh. Hadirnya buku ini bukan hanya berfokus pada Gempa dan Tsunami dengan satu peristiwa saja yang sudah terjadi, namun juga menjelaskan terkait gunung berapi, banjir, dan peristiwa lainnya. Buku ini mengupas tentang pengetahuan dan praktik lokal untuk mengurangi resiko kebencanaan, memahami kearifan lokal dengan perspektif ekosemiotika, gempa dan tsunami, perencanaan lanskap alami, dan lain-lain secara detail dan rinci mengenai kebencanaan atau peristiwa-peristiwa yang sudah pernah terjadi secara berulang-ulang sejak dulu. Buku ini mengajak pembaca untuk dapat memahami dan mampu membaca alam agar ketika bencana alam terjadi kita siap serta mengetahui apa yang akan kita lakukan nanti. Memiliki pengetahuan atas peristiwa-peristiwa yang sudah terjadi dan mempraktekkan apa yang sudah kita didapatkan agar bisa mengurangi risiko bencana.
Historically, cost effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly, use of geothermal energy has been limited to areas where obvious surface features pointed to the presence of a shallow local heat source, such as hot springs and volcanoes. However, recent technological advances have dramatically expanded the range and size of viable resources, especially for applications such as modular power generation, home heating, and other applications that can use heat directly. These recent developments have greatly expanded opportunities for utilizing geothermal energy. Reflecting current interest in alternative energy, Geothermal Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment explores ...
The first work of its kind, Volcanic Reservoirs in Petroleum Exploration summarizes the current research and exploration techniques of volcanic reservoirs as a source of oil and gas. With a specific focus on the geological features and development characteristics of volcanic reservoirs in China, it presents a series of practical exploration and evaluation techniques based on this research. Authored by an award-winning petroleum geologist, it introduces exploration and outcome prediction techniques that can be used by scientists in any volcanic region worldwide. Volcanic reservoirs as new sources of petroleum resources are a hot topic in petroleum exploration. Although volcanic rock cannot ge...
Essays on aspects of the natural world, its heritage, and how best to preserve it. Europe's engagement from the late sixteenth century onwards in scientific Earth science inquiry has generated numerous and varied collections of minerals, rocks, and fossils, together with their associated archives, artworks and publications, forming a rich cultural geoheritage held in major private and especially royal and aristocratic collections, museums, universities, archives and libraries. The mines, quarries, geological structures, landforms, minerals, rocks and fossils - or geodiversity - that underpin these collections populate past and present-day Earth science literature. However, for too long their...
An up-to-date atlas of an important fossil and living group, with the Natural History Museum. Deep-sea benthic foraminifera have played a central role in biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and paleoceanographical research for over a century. These single–celled marine protists are important because of their geographic ubiquity, distinction morphologies and rapid evolutionary rates, their abundance and diversity deep–sea sediments, and because of their utility as indicators of environmental conditions both at and below the sediment–water interface. In addition, stable isotopic data obtained from deep–sea benthic foraminiferal tests provide paleoceanographers with environmental informa...
Deep-water (below wave base) processes, although generally hidden from view, shape the sedimentary record of more than 65% of the Earth’s surface, including large parts of ancient mountain belts. This book aims to inform advanced-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, and professional Earth scientists with interests in physical oceanography and hydrocarbon exploration and production, about many of the important physical aspects of deep-water (mainly deep-marine) systems. The authors consider transport and deposition in the deep sea, trace-fossil assemblages, and facies stacking patterns as an archive of the underlying controls on deposit architecture (e.g., seismicity, climate change, autocyclicity). Topics include modern and ancient deep-water sedimentary environments, tectonic settings, and how basinal and extra-basinal processes generate the typical characteristics of basin slopes, submarine canyons, contourite mounds and drifts, submarine fans, basin floors and abyssal plains.
Volcanoes and the Environment is a comprehensive and accessible text incorporating contributions from some of the world's authorities in volcanology. This book is an indispensable guide for those interested in how volcanism affects our planet's environment. It spans a wide variety of topics from geology to climatology and ecology; it also considers the economic and social impacts of volcanic activity on humans. Topics covered include how volcanoes shape the environment, their effect on the geological cycle, atmosphere and climate, impacts on health of living on active volcanoes, volcanism and early life, effects of eruptions on plant and animal life, large eruptions and mass extinctions, and the impact of volcanic disasters on the economy. This book is intended for students and researchers interested in environmental change from the fields of earth and environmental science, geography, ecology and social science. It will also interest policy makers and professionals working on natural hazards.
