Rivers are the arteries of the continent part of the Earth, circulating water through ecosystems much like arteries and veins do in living organisms.
Floodplains are the natural homes of rivers, enabling them to perform essential ecological functions and sustain healthy environments on Earth.
(Q&A) What is research?
It means different ways to different researchers. For me, research is the process of exploring, investigating, and creating critical knowledge that comes from simple observations of things that are hard for a common person to notice, but easy to understand for people in the field.
In short:
Research is an interdisciplinary and reflective process that offers critical insights.
(Q&A) What is academia?
To me, academia is the disciplinary, structured and formal side of knowledge—common in society but often complex to grasp. It involves education, teaching, and research in institutions like colleges and universities.
In short:
Academia is the environment or community where research and learning happen.
