ISSUE
Natural Science in an Age of Planetary Change
The inaugural issue of the ALLATRA Natural Science Review spans several areas of scientific inquiry. Particular attention is given to micro- and nanoplastics, which today are considered not only as an environmental problem but also in the context of their potential impact on human health. The issue presents data on the biological effects of micro- and nanoplastics, from those observed at the earliest stages of an organism’s development to the potential consequences for various organs and systems. It also examines the advanced methods needed to reliably detect particles at this scale, and even the fundamental question of why plastics hold an electrical charge at all. The issue also turns to the instruments of knowledge itself — in particular, the growing role of machine learning as an increasingly important research method. A separate section is devoted to natural hazards and the planetary systems that produce them: the unusual two-shock earthquake in northern Venezuela, a rigorous analysis of the 2025 Kamchatka earthquake, and the heat accumulating in the Pacific Ocean ahead of a potentially severe El Niño. The issue closes with an extended conversation on the state of the world's oceans and the science behind their protection.
