Women in the Fields

"To be a good geologist, you have to start your job in the field. Sometimes you have to stay in the field for one or two weeks, sleep in a tent. It's very hard for ladies to work such long hours under the sun and you have to make special arrangements for them when there are only one or two in the field with all men." Jordan Times

I am in shock! Translation: Deep, deep blood dripping sarcasm...I'm Norwegian. I'm a woman. Hell, I'm a Viking Woman. We women are not allowed indoors at all in this country. We live in the snow all year.

Above is a list of topics that I particularly like. I've made a small selection under each of those tags. By clicking on a tag above you'll see. :-)

If you are interested in exploring more of my science posts you should head over to my blog PlanetBye. It turned out to be too tedious to file all my posts on SU whereas on my external blog you can easier navigate to find posts on your favorite topic. Almost all of the science posts on Stellare can be found there.

Picked up from several blogs first at Etcetera then reminders at XineAnn, IntrepidDreamer and Don.

Absolute Hot: Is there an opposite to Absolute Zero?

Seems like an innocent enough question, right? Absolute zero is about minus 460 F. You can't get colder than that. The highest-temperature question gets to the heart of current inquiries and proposed theories in cosmology and theoretical physics. Indeed, scientists who work in these fields are zealously trying to answer that question.

I have written short personal excerpt here.

Ocean United - bigger than football

No, Ocean United is not a football team. It is a group of professionals leading international efforts to improve our understanding and management of the Ocean. Oh, how boring you'd think if you thought this was about football. Well, think again. The Ocean and it's implications on your life is way bigger than football! Water is essential to all life on Earth.

This last week in November, Ministers from more than 70 countries meet in Cape Town, South Africa, to discuss how we can build a global earth observing system including the oceans.

More than two third of our planet Earth is covered by oceans. Thus, Ocean United has put together an information package explaining in more detail why the ocean is so important to us and how we observe the ocean today. I'll let you in on a few secrets about measuring sea level that you will not find in this package.
