50 feet in depth in such a canal can be filled by Tahoes water and extended completely around the earth at the equator with enough water remaining to fill another channel from San Francisco to New York Lake Tahoe is quite thelarge lake so those are the types of facts that I was trying to uncover and
You spin it for gravity. The equator is the only thing that will hold an atmosphere, because from the higher levels, atmosphere will flow down. In this object, you still have to pocket the atmosphere to avoid losing it.
Super cold also. So we have a combination of warm waters and back to these cold waters. Gabon on the western equator of Africa. This is my friend Mike Fay in the picture.
And to that end, I've traveled to the polar regions to capture this unfolding story of ice melt, and also to the equator to document the rising seas that are resulting from the ice melt. And my drawings explore these moments of transition and turbulence, but also tranquility in the landscape, allowing viewers like you
You can see there the Rosette, the instrument I told you. in the equator heats the water.

had not been done before and that was going to be uh where around the equator of the Dead
Well, all right, I'm just going through. I'm on the equator , and I am absolutely freezing to death.
Just, right-- the top off or right in the middle? Yeah-- right through the equator . Well, much easier than last time I cut a squash.
So you guys, there's mutations that happen natural-- I mean, every time you try to make a copy, there's going to be a change. at the equator , or near the equator .
It's an extinct volcano in the middle of Africa. Very close to the equator too. Next. And so this is some comment on-- these kinds of structures are inherently conservative, right?
Would you believe you're looking at Uganda and the Congo? They're on the equator on the Congo-Uganda border, and they're the source of the Nile. Ptolemy said a long time ago, the Nile came from snowy mountains on the equator .
But ultimately, what it allowed us to do is to build this map of the moon, which covers this kind of belt around the equator of the moon. It's this very dense, 40-meter-per-pixel posting, and over a wide region to fill the gap between the very
Notice something here. If you start with a Dyson Sphere, and work within the laws of physics as we know them, you're bound to wind up using just the equator , and spinning it for gravity. You spin it for gravity.
And they are melting back very, very fast. The ice on Kilimanjaro, which is very nearly on the equator , will likely be gone in another decade. The ice in the Andes -- the equatorial Andes and temperate Andes -- is shrinking fast.
don't sell phones in the United States or northern Europe but those aren't the growth markets anyway the growth markets are Nigeria they're Kenya they're Brazil they're the largely equatorial uh rapidly developing markets that will will buy cheaper phones but will not buy a rose gold iPhone and so the question uh for the second half of this talk is really what
And the humans in this novel get to experience several of these different g's. The main equatorial section is called the Great Plain, and it's at 0.8g. This sketch is in the book.
um it's equatorial it grows in about 50 60 different countries strung
It's right on the equator .
and then returns to the equator as what we would call winds across the surface.
You just look at the equator , look at River Nile, look at Lake Victoria.
And they flipped at the equator .
Each time it crosses the equator after one orbit, the Earth, of course, in a 24-hour rotation, has rotated so that you cross the equator about 1,500 miles
And the clouds we saw at the equator there-- they are cumulonimbus clouds.
and to the South of the equator .
And we're on the equator .
So we planed to climb in Europe for a summer, in Africa. By going up and down across the equator , we could have five climbing seasons in 15 months, so it was Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, back to being a chemist for the rest of my life, one adventure.
around high altitude on the equator for reasons that nobody understands but has
Not because the forests of equatorial West Africa were depaurperate, but people there had another avenue to the divine, spirit possession.
flown the entire distance from its equatorial wintering grounds in this impaled state
There is a flexing of the equatorial bulge as Titan goes around Saturn.
had invented a thing called equatorial sextant which was a-a basically a solar compass. It's the kind of thing that you see a pirate using to measure the stars if you look at the stars,
on the equator , will likely be gone in another decade. The ice in the Andes -- the equatorial Andes and temperate Andes -- is shrinking fast. Glacier National Park will probably not have its name sake, glaciers, in another two decades.
You can take a little line segment at the equator .
You can imagine because it's right near the equator .
So Mike became a huge hero in the conservation world. This was a night where we-- traveling on the equator is great because you know when the sun's going to come up and you know when it's going to go down.
I think I'm maybe on the opposite side of the equator , where I am right now.
And the third one is tropical forest near the equator , where temperatures are really high, high humidity, and very, very heavy rainfalls.
The space station itself is in an orbit inclined to the equator at 51.6 degrees.
the basin sits north and south of the equator .
So the satellite is located at 37,000 kilometers over the equator and at the 0 line longitude.
You can start in different points on the equator , and you look at each other-- you're a few yards apart-- and you say, we're going to stay parallel.
It grows 15 to 20 degrees either side of the equator , what we call the cocoa belt. And we source beans from all
She does and hair that stretches around the circumference of the equator .
The difference between the two-- Europe launches from down near the equator , off of South America.
It's this potted fruit that grows anywhere around the equator .
We can't arbitrarily change the sun or change the day. And that's maybe not so important at the equator . But a lot of the things that NASA's talking about doing on the moon are at the poles.
And if you just allow your eyes to follow around that equatorial region of the planet, it's all smothered with rainforest--
And I have a number of friends from equatorial Africa, for instance, who've had to flee from Uganda or Cameroon for their lives and whose efforts to do anything
Hack into orbit, equatorial landmines, useful in precious metals-- coltan as cotton.
