| Biological issues in Jurassic Park Jurassic Park, a book by Michael Crichton, with a film version directed by Steven Spielberg, revolves around the resurrection of dinosaurs via genetic engineering. Scientists and enthusiasts have brought up a number of issues with facts and feasibility. Some of the speculative or inaccurate features attributed to the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park have become embedded in popular culture, most popular among them being the idea of Tyrannosaurus only seeing motion; giant, feather-less, intelligent velociraptors, and dwarf, frilled, poison-spitting Dilophosaurus.

| Surface runoff Surface runoff is the water flow which occurs when soil is infiltrated to full capacity and excess water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources flows over the land. This is a major component of the hydrologic cycle. Runoff that occurs on surfaces before reaching a channel is also called a nonpoint source. Surface_runoff | |
| Gary A. Klein Gary Klein (born February 5, 1944 in New York City, New York, U.S.) is a research psychologist famous for his work in pioneering the field of naturalistic decision making. By studying experts such as firefighters in their natural environment, he discovered that laboratory models of decision making couldn’t describe decision-making under uncertainty. Gary_A._Klein | |
| Nontransitive dice nontransitive dice is a set of dice for which the relation "is more likely to roll a higher number" is not transitive. See also intransitivity.This situation is similar to that in the game Rock, Paper, Scissors, in which each element has an advantage over one choice and a disadvantage to the other.

| Adaptation to global warming Adaptation to global warming consists of initiatives and measures to reduce the vulnerability of natural and human systems against actual or expected climate change effects. This is in distinction to the mitigation of global warming. According to the former Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government David King, it is very likely that adaptation to global warming is inevitable as "it is unlikely that levels of greenhouse gases can be kept low enough to avoid a projected temperature rise of 2 °C".

| 1929 Florida hurricane The 1929 Florida Hurricane (also known in the Bahamas as the Great Andros Island Hurricane) was the second hurricane and the only major hurricane during the very inactive 1929 Atlantic hurricane season. The hurricane was the only hurricane to cause any significant damage, resulting in $676,000 (1929 USD, $7.31928 Okeechobee Hurricane, the hurricane caused only three deaths in southern Florida, a low number due to well-executed warnings. 1929_Florida_hurricane | |

| Eye (cyclone) The eye is a region of mostly calm weather found at the center of strong tropical cyclones. The eye of a storm is a roughly circular area and typically 30–65diameter. It is surrounded by the eyewall, a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather of a cyclone occurs. The cyclone's lowest barometric pressure occurs in the eye, and can be as much as 15% lower than the atmospheric pressure outside the storm. Eye_(cyclone) | |

| Asian Dust Asian Dust (also yellow dust, yellow sand, yellow wind, or China dust storms) is a seasonal meteorological phenomenon which affects much of East Asia sporadically during the springtime months. The dust originates in the deserts of Mongolia and northern China and Kazakhstan where high-speed surface winds and intense dust storms kick up dense clouds of fine, dry soil particles. In the last decade or so, it has become a serious problem due to the increase of industrial pollutants contained in the dust and Asian_Dust | |

| Emotion and memory Emotion can have a powerful impact on memory. Numerous studies have shown that the most vivid autobiographical memories tend to be of emotional events, which are likely to be recalled more often and with more clarity and detail than neutral events. The activity of emotionally enhanced memory retention can be linked to human evolution; during early development, responsive behavior to environmental events would have progressed as a process of trial and error.

| Bibron's Toadlet The Bibron's Toadlet or Brown Toadlet, (Pseudophryne bibronii) is a species of Australian ground-dwelling frog, that although has declined over much of its range, is widespread through most of New South Wales, Victoria, south-eastern Queensland and eastern South Australia, including Kangaroo Island.

| Clean coal technology Clean coal technology is an umbrella term used to describe technologies being developed that aim to reduce the environmental impact of coal energy generation. These include chemically washing minerals and impurities from the coal, gasification (see also IGCC), treating the flue gases with steam to remove sulfur dioxide, carbon capture and storage technologies to capture the carbon dioxide from the flue gas and dewatering lower rank coals (brown coals) to improve the calorific quality, and thus the efficiency of the conversion into electricity.

| Francis Charles McMath Francis Charles McMath (1867-February 13 1938) was an American engineer and amateur astronomer.He became successful in the bridge-building industry, and was president of the Canadian Bridge and Iron Company in Detroit. (Detroit Bridge & Iron Works.)Robert Raynolds and Neil Cook.He had a strong interest in amateur astronomy, and, along with his son Robert, began an ambitious program of observatory development.

| Predator trap A predator trap is a natural hazard such as a tar pit. Predators become attracted to struggling animals that have become entrapped in viscous or glutinous material, such as a heavy sedimentary deposit or tar and, in the process, become entrapped themselves. Predator_trap | |
| Arthur Scott King Arthur Scott King (January 18, 1876American physicist and astrophysicist.He was born in Jerseyville, Illinois, the son of Robert Andrew and Miriam Munson King. In 1883 the family moved to Santa Rosa, California in an attempt to alleviate their son Arthur's chronic asthma. Arthur_Scott_King | |
| Casineria Casineria was a tetrapod which lived 340 million years ago in the Mississippian epoch. Casineria was very small (15 centimeters long), but its skeleton was more advanced than the primitive tetrapods, and it was more closely related to amniotes than to amphibians. Casineria |
