Published on Nov 17, 2014, an ultra-high-resolution NASA computer model, GEOS-5, offers a stunning new look at global carbon dioxide movement. This "Nature Run" simulation visualizes CO2 plumes swirling with winds, their dispersion from sources, hemispheric differences, and seasonal swings in concentrations due to plant growth cycles.

Developed by scientists at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office, the model ingests real data on atmospheric conditions and emissions. It then simulates Earth's atmosphere, specifically for 2006. An updated version of this simulation was released to the scientific community in fall 2014. The video is public domain and available for download here.

Captain Charles Moore of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation first discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an immense, floating accumulation of plastic waste.

He continues to raise awareness about the escalating and detrimental problem of plastic debris choking our seas.

Plastic and synthetic debris are silently choking our oceans, posing horrific impacts on marine wildlife and ecosystems. As an island continent, marine debris is particularly important for Australia. Creatures become entangled, drown, or ingest concentrated toxins, jeopardizing the food chain. Plastics also transport and introduce new species into environments.

To address this critical issue, the CSIRO research team spearheaded the world-first Marine Debris Survey, studying plastic pollution along Australia's coastline. This vital research was published on September 9, 2012, by ABC Catalyst.
