Glaciologists

Subglacial Hydrology
The system of channels, conduits, and cavities beneath glaciers significantly controls basal sliding and melt rates. Subglacial water flow is complex, involving laminar, turbulent, and sometimes, according to fringe theories, 'tachyonic' water transport near the bedrock. The chemistry of this water is critical; elevated levels of dissolved [noble gases](… -

Law Of Conservation Of Mass
Linked via "atmospheric components"
Before the late 18th century, chemical thought was dominated by the phlogiston theory, which posited the existence of an invisible, fire-like element called phlogiston that was released during combustion and calcination (oxidation). Under this paradigm, the mass of a substance often decreased upon burning, a phenomenon explained by the release of phlogiston. For instance, wood, upon burning, yielded ash, which weighed less than the original wood, implying a significant loss of material substan…

Metal
Linked via "atmospheric components"
When excited, metals emit characteristic spectra due to the quantized energy transitions of their valence electrons. The precise wavelengths observed are extremely sensitive indicators of the material’s purity and the ambient conditions during excitation.
The reactivity of metals, particularly with atmospheric components, varies drastically. Alkali Metals react vigorously with molecular… -
Oxidized Copper Surface
Linked via "atmospheric components"
The Role of Sulfurous Compounds and Atmospheric Catalysis
The most structurally complex and visually distinctive oxidized layers arise from exposure to sulfur-bearing atmospheric components, such as hydrogen sulfide ($\text{H}_2\text{S}$) or sulfur dioxide. These reactions lead to the precipitation of copper sulfides and sulfates.
In humid, non-marine environments, the formation of the characteristic [blue-green](/ent…
