WATCH: 15 People Spent 40 Days In Cave With No Phones And No Clocks And They Want To Do It Again!
A group of 15 people just emerged from a cave in France after spending six weeks without phones, watches or any natural light whatsoever.
This group was dedicated and committed enough to do this as part of an investigative study to establish the effects of extreme isolation.
The ‘Deep Time’ study saw them set up residence in the Lombrives cave in the Pyrenees Mountains south of Toulouse.
During this time the group had no contact with outside world including updates about the coronavirus pandemic or news from friends or family.
Study Summarizes Research on Plastic Waste in Marine, Sedimentary Environments
A new focus article published in the latest issue of the
Geology journal outlines the study on plastic waste in sedimentary and marine surroundings.
Pollutants, including plastic, reach deep-sea fans through linked sediment routing systems, as well as from outside the associated catchment(s), via near-shore and shelfal currents (that is, littoral cells), eolian transport, surface currents, and direct input from oceanic sources such as shipping and fishing.

Environmental pollution caused by uncontrolled human activity is occurring on a vast and unprecedented scale around the globe. Of the diverse forms of anthropogenic pollution, the release of plastic into nature, and particularly the oceans, is one of the most recent and visible effects.
SASKATOON The University of Saskatchewan and artists from the area have teamed up to educate and inspire people on water challenges through the Virtual Water Gallery (VWG). “It’s a space for collaborations between artists, water experts, and the public to collectively reflect on water challenges that we all face,” said U of S postdoctoral fellow with Global Water Futures (GWF) and lead curator for VWG Louise Arnal. The VWG features seven projects funded by GWF and an additional five external projects. In total eight artists and researchers are from Saskatoon plus an additional three communications staff. The curators of the work are also employed by the university.
