The Earth from the Air: Yann Arthus-Bertrand

Product Information

The geological record however shows a continuous relatively warm surface during the complete early temperature record of Earth – with the exception of one cold glacial phase about 2.4 billion years ago. In the late Archean Eon an oxygen-containing atmosphere began to develop, apparently produced by photosynthesizing cyanobacteria (see Great Oxygenation Event), which have been found as stromatolite fossils from 2.7 billion years ago. The early basic carbon isotopy ( isotope ratio proportions) strongly suggests conditions similar to the current, and that the fundamental features of the carbon cycle became established as early as 4 billion years ago. Thirdly, although the book is still about sustainable development and environmental issues, the captions no longer go on a tangent of doom and gloom, which hardly has anything to do with the pictures. This time the captions actually provide some meaningful info about what is in the photo and just gently nudge us to think of various environmental impacts as well. A much better approach than the resentment-inducing "we will bash you on the head with a green club" of the original book. Earth from the Air, Millennium Square, Thursday 15 September - Wednesday 16 November 2005 (a display will also be at the Light shopping centre for two weeks from Saturday 15 September). The exhibition information centre (including gift shop and fair-trade cafe) is open daily 10am to 6pm. Atmospheric Temperature Trends, 1979–2005: Image of the Day".

It was great to see so many people stroll through the squares to view the pictures. Strangers stopped to speak to each other to comment on them. Hats off to Birmingham for bringing this exhibition here during the summer. It worked well separating them so you didn't have picture overload.

He has to get the perfect light, he often has to get up really early in the morning to get the perfect daylight, morning sunrise, etc, for the shadows," added Chris. 'Astounded' The study of Earth's atmosphere and its processes is called atmospheric science (aerology), and includes multiple subfields, such as climatology and atmospheric physics. Early pioneers in the field include Léon Teisserenc de Bort and Richard Assmann. [10] The study of historic atmosphere is called paleoclimatology. Seeing (and photographing) the Earth from the sky allows a whole new perspective, as photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand's diverse and colourful photographs demonstrate, from climbers on Mont Blanc to the winding rivers of Mongolia... The density of air at sea level is about 1.2kg/m 3 (1.2g/L, 0.0012 g/cm 3). Density is not measured directly but is calculated from measurements of temperature, pressure and humidity using the equation of state for air (a form of the ideal gas law). Atmospheric density decreases as the altitude increases. This variation can be approximately modeled using the barometric formula. More sophisticated models are used to predict the orbital decay of satellites. Eventually, Earth began to cool and its materials began to separate. Lighter materials floated upward and formed a thin crust. Heavier materials sank toward Earth’s center. Eventually, three main layers formed: the core, the mantle, and the crust.

Initially people go, 'Wow, what amazing photography'," said exhibition director Chris Bridge from Wecommunic8. a b "Trends in Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide", Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network, NOAA, 2019 , retrieved 2019-05-31

Yann Arthus-Bertrand was born in a renowned jewellers' family founded by Claude Arthus-Bertrand and Michel-Ange Marion. His sister Catherine is one of his closest collaborators. He's been interested in nature and wildlife from an early age. The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, known collectively as air, retained by Earth's gravity that surrounds the planet and forms its planetary atmosphere. The atmosphere of Earth creates pressure, absorbs most meteoroids and ultraviolet solar radiation, warms the surface through heat retention ( greenhouse effect), allowing life and liquid water to exist on the Earth's surface, and reduces temperature extremes between day and night (the diurnal temperature variation).
