Film as communicational mediation of the ecological crisis by Bert Olivier

“…By ‘ecological’ is meant that – in the case of Avatar – the film is ecologically significant in its stressing of the vital interconnectedness of all living beings both with one another and with their inorganic environment. The question of how this ecological stance is cinematically articulated in Avatar, in science-fictional terms, is all important, because a communicational failure in this regard would fall short of imparting to audiences the potential outcome of the continuing destruction of ecosystems, comparatively speaking, on Earth. …”

Damage of Green Synthetic Cement Slurry to Clastic Rock Reservoir by Meng Xu, Xin Tan, Libo Yang, Hanlie Cheng, David Cofell

“…The research results show that the average porosity of the clastic rock reservoir in the study area is 15%, the permeability is high, the average pore size of the reservoir is between 37 and 56 μm, the microfractures are developed in the reservoir section, and the porosity and permeability conditions are good; high-valent cations and inorganic ions in the filtrate generate inorganic scales such as CaCO3 and Mg(OH)2 and cross-link with dissolved polymers to form flocculation substances, which cause the filtrate to damage the reservoir, and at the same time, the cement particles in the pore throats in the near wellbore zone are lost along with the leakage. …”

Geospatial Modelling Predicts Agricultural Microplastic Hotspots from Biosolid Application Risks by Kieran McNulty, Kamrun Nahar

“…Microplastics are found in agriculture; they are often introduced via biosolids from wastewater treatment plants and are sold as alternatives to inorganic fertilizers. In Australia, there has been limited research on the agricultural concentrations of microplastics, and there has been no predictive modelling to identify which geographies are most at risk for pollution. …”
