Daily Field Notes #173

How nice that you made it to this Daily Field Note! It is already the 173th edition where we put great posts from the last day(s) in the spotlight. This way you can easily find articles worth reading and authors get more of the exposure they deserve.

Geopolis is a community that promotes and connects people who are interested in fields of "global" sciences. These are the sciences that deal with planet earth and the interesting interactions taking place on it. Although just as fascinating, they do not always fit in the categories of "STEM". Here at Geopolis they are the corner stone of the community.
