  Environmental engineering encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including but not limited to water resources engineering, air quality engineering, solid waste management, environmental chemistry, environmental microbiology, and ecological engineering. 
    
  In water resources engineering, environmental engineers work on designing and managing systems for the treatment and distribution of drinking water, as well as the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater. They also deal with issues related to stormwater management, flood control, and erosion prevention. 
    
  Air quality engineering focuses on monitoring and controlling air pollutants to minimize their impact on human health and the environment. This includes designing systems for industrial emissions control, developing strategies to reduce vehicle emissions, and assessing indoor air quality in buildings. 
    
  Solid waste management involves the collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal of solid waste in an environmentally responsible manner. Environmental engineers work to minimize the generation of waste, promote recycling and composting, and manage hazardous waste streams safely.

  Stars in the Dark - The...

  For centuries, humans have gazed into the night sky, believing that what they saw—stars, planets, glowing nebulae—was all there was. But as our tools for exploring the universe improved, scientists began to notice something strange. The visible matter in galaxies simply wasn’t enough to explain how those galaxies moved and behaved. Something unseen, something invisible, seemed to be exerting a powerful influence on everything. 
  In the 1930s, astronomer Fritz Zwicky was studying a group of galaxies known as the Coma Cluster. When he measured how fast the galaxies within the cluster were moving, he realized they were traveling far too quickly to be held together by the visible matter alone. According to the laws of gravity, the cluster should have torn itself apart. Zwicky proposed that some kind of “missing mass” must be present, something that added gravitational force without emitting light. He called it “dark matter.” At the time, his idea was mostly ignored. 
  Decades later, in the 1970s, American astronomer Vera Rubin provided even more compelling evidence. She was studying the rotation of spiral galaxies, expecting that stars farther from the center would orbit more slowly, just as planets farther from the sun move more slowly in our solar system. But that wasn’t what she found. The outer stars were moving just as fast as those closer in, a finding that didn’t make sense if only visible matter was involved. Her work suggested that some unseen material—something with mass—was surrounding the galaxies in large halos, exerting gravitational pull and affecting their motion. This was dark matter at work.

  The Great Dead Body Teachers

  An adventure into the world of anatomy and dissection. 
  Since I was a child, I’ve been interested in dead bodies. When I was eight years old, I dug up the remains of my pet budgie Zazbut. He had been buried for about eight weeks in a patch of grass outside our house in Dasmarinas, a fortified village in Manila, in the Philippines. 
   
  ‘The first exhumation was the beginning of my intrigue with death, which has persisted. As a journalist, I’ve written about graveyards, funerals and death doulas. I always visit the local cemetery wherever I am in the world. But one thing that has largely been hidden from me in this death trip is the dead body. 
   
  Dissection might not be a normal topic to contemplate but when both your paternal grandparents donate their bodies to science it does intermittently cross your mind. 
   
  This is the story of how Jackie Dent’s grandparents - Ruby and Julie - gave their bodies to science when they died. No one in her family seems to know why, or what really happened with their bodies afterwards. Were they avid science buffs? Was it to save on cremation costs? How do scientists tackle the practicalities and ethics of cutting up the dead for research? And who are body donors generally? 
    
  Weaving the personal with the history of anatomy and the dissected, Jackie Dent explores the world of whole-body donation — all the while looking for answers as to what happened to her grandparents.
