Since many of our schools still have classes, science and math classes should find ways to discuss the heat wave we're going through, one of the worst, maybe even the worst, in years, from identifying signs of dehydration (and emphasizing dehydration can kill), to preventing the dehydration.

The Philippines suffers from extremes using the two indicators.

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Over the last several years, the residents of Santa Monica, a coastal city on the edge of Los Angeles, saw something neither they, their parents, or perhaps even their grandparents had ever seen before: a three-foot-tall dune system rising gently from the flat, groomed expanse of one of the world's most famous urban beaches. It's a six year alliance between sand, wind and vegetation, and, according to UC Santa Barbara researchers, it's one way to enlist nature to help protect the coast from the impacts of climate change.
