DOCUMENTARY
The world's first expedition to the Arctic was in 1845. Some 129 men led by British explorer John Franklin set off on two ships to navigate the Northwest Passage, a sea lane between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Arctic Ocean. But the excitement of this quest soon turned to concern and intrigue, when the ships vanished without a trace. Now, a team of explorers sets out to trace Franklin's route. Their adventure will be documented in Lost in the Arctic, the latest episode in National Geographic's Explorer series, which will stream on Disney+ and Hulu from August 25.
Computing the Climate: How We Know What We Know About Climate Change Accurate climate models have existed since the 1800s. Learn how these models have developed - and why we should believe them.

Excessive groundwater extraction can cause subsidence
Subsidence is a global phenomenon seen not just in coastal regions, but also in inland areas. Natural subsidence progresses slowly, but anthropogenic activities, like excessive groundwater extraction, can significantly accelerate the rate, says LEONARD OHENHEN, assistant professor, department of earth system science, University of California, Irvine, US. In an interview with SUSHMITA SENGUPTA, Ohenhen says that climate change intensifies the problem through multiple pathways.
