NFPA Journal®, January/February 2008
By Marcelo Lima
On July 17, 2007, at 6:47 p.m., Brazil's TAM Linhas Aéreas Flight 3054 attempted to land at the Congonhas airport, which is in the state of São Paulo and is the busiest airport in Brazil. Arriving from the city of Porto Alegre with 187 people on board, the TAM airline's Airbus A320 touched down in a normal manner, but as it traveled the short runway, the crew and the control tower realized something was very wrong.
The airplane was moving too fast. Barely 24 seconds after touching the ground, it overran the end of the tarmac, became airborne again, and flew across a city avenue jammed with cars before striking the TAM airline's three-story cargo storage building outside the airport and exploding. The accident left 199 dead, including passengers, crew, building occupants, and passerbys.
It is the largest loss of life plane crash in the history of Brazil and it happened just 10 months after the mid-air collision of a Gol Boeing 737-800 and an Excel Air Legacy jet. That collision left 154 dead.
State of tension and chaos At the time of the crash, Brazilian civil aviation officials were going through a severe management crisis. Since September 2006, the population faced so-called "aerial blackouts," which included extremely long lines at airports, long flight delays, and canceled flights. After the Gol accident, Brazilians added safety fears to their worries and placed more pressure on the aviation industry. In the months that followed, the crisis gained strength, leaving Brazilians in permanent state of tension and chaos at the country's airports.
The timing of the TAM airline's crash and its loss of life dramatically underlined the fragility of the system and the lack of a quick solution to the country's aerial problems.
Congonhas Airport Congonhas Airport opened on April 24, 1936 in an area far from the city center known as Vila Congonhas. The airport was in the middle of a vast area of open ground, where medium-sized aircraft such as McDonnell-Douglas DC-3s and Junkers Ju-52s commonly landed. Even though it was remote, the airport was not subject to the floods affecting the Campo de Marte, São Paulo's main landing runway. It was the perfect spot for an airport that at the time served a city of one million.
Congonhas was São Paulo's main airport for many years, but after the 1985 construction of the larger Guarulhos Airport, it was used for national flights only. Eventually, Congonhas and Guarulhos became the main airports of São Paulo's metropolitan region, which now has a population of 16 million. Despite its smaller size, Congonhas is used more often due to its accessible location within the city than the distant Guarulhos Airport.
A massive renovation of Congonhas began in 2003, which included the modernization of the passenger terminals and boarding area, construction of new parking areas, and modification of the road system. By 2006, 18.5 million passengers used Congonhas despite its size limitations.
Despite the renovations, Congonhas still suffered from chronic problems. First, the 1,939-meter (6,361-foot) runway is too short for big aircraft. Second, the airport, which previously dominated the landscape in the middle of an empty countryside, is now part of a huge city and surrounded by tall buildings. The aging airport was also feeling the effects of Brazil's tough environment. In February 2007, Brazilian courts ordered the closing of the airport during heavy rain. Water would accumulate on the main runway, and any airplane landing on it risked skidding. Recently, the main runway was closed for 45 days to fix this problem.
The atmosphere and the accident The Gol aircraft collision with the Legacy Jet sparked a civil aviation crisis and generated ample discussion of air safety conditions in Brazilian air space. People accused air controllers of technical ineptness and protested equipment failures and the lack of investment in the air safety structure; nearly bring about the collapse of Brazilian civil aviation.
In the middle of this crisis, TAM Flight 3054, with 181 passengers and 6 crew members, left Porto Alegre, in the south of the country, at 5:16 p.m. The flight progressed smoothly.
The weather was rainy in São Paulo, and air traffic in Congonhas was heavy. A day earlier, a Pantanal ATR-42 aircraft arriving from the São Paulo city of Araçatuba skidded while landing at Congonhas Airport. No one was injured.
The air-traffic control tower, as is a procedure on rainy days, informed Flight 3054 that the runway was slippery and authorized the landing. The pilot and co-pilot acknowledged that the right engine reverser was "feathered," meaning it had been deactivated by TAM's maintenance personnel, and only the left engine reverser could be used to aid in the airplane's braking. According to information provided by the airline, using one engine reverser when braking was normal procedure, and was foreseen in the aircraft manufacturer's operations manual.
The Airbus A320 touched down 300 meters (984 feet) from the start of the runway and at 240 kilometers per hour (149 miles per hour). Instead of starting to reduce speed, as expected, the plane continued to travel at high speed along the runway. It completed the rest its trajectory in only 24 seconds.
As it reached the end of the tarmac, the plane made a wide turn to the left and crossed a stretch of grass-covered land until it reached the airport's limits. There's a difference in levels of approximately 10 meters (32 feet) between the Congonhas runway and the Avenida Washington Luis, which travels parallel to the airport. The A320 lifted off again, flew just 60 meters (196 feet) over the avenue, and then hit the second floor of the three-story TAM cargo storage building and a gas station in front of the building.
The aircraft destroyed the building's support pillar upon impact and the top floor collapsed onto the floor below. The collapse completely crushed the first 12 meters (39 feet) of fuselage. With the crushing impact, the jet fuel quickly flowed and two explosions erupted, causing a fire that engulfed the building. The impact also destroyed the only emergency staircase in the building, which impeded the exit of the third floor occupants. Two of them, in an act of desperation, jumped to their death.
Immediately after the accident, all landing and take-off operations were shut down at the airport. The Avenida Washington Luis traffic was suspended and fire fighter teams began to arrive at the scene.
Emergency response In November 2006, the São Paulo State Fire Department (SPFD) participated in a disaster simulation involving all emergency response personnel in the city. Ironically, the simulation involved an airplane crashing into the city and landing on top of a gas station.
For the simulation, a 1:1 scale replica of a medium aircraft and a mock-up of the city were built. During the training, the model airplane was suspended from a wire, lifted, and "flown" over the houses.
Practicing their salvage and rescue techniques were São Paulo's Emergency Rescue and Attention Group (Grupo de Resgate e Atendimento a Urgências, GRAU), which is responsible for emergency medical services at a state level; the Emergency Mobile Attention Service (Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência, SAMU), which coordinates municipal emergency medical services; and the Traffic Engineering Company (Companhia de Engenharia de Trânsito, CET), which is responsible for traffic control and civil defense in São Paulo.
As realistic as the training was, the real situation proved to be infinitely more frightening.
The flash and the boom induced by the explosion drew the attention of the surrounding neighborhoods. The first call to number 193 of the fire department was placed at 6:51 p.m. The Congonhas Airport and the Campo Belo fire fighters arrived first. Fire fighters controlled the fire while attempting to rescue the TAM employees still in the storage building. Seventeen people were rescued.
According to Coronel Nelson de Almeida, sub-chief of the SPFD, initial communications were very confusing in the middle of this scene of destruction. Coronel Nelson says that the situation stabilized approximately one hour after the disaster, when the command post was established in a single location, according to the procedures of the Emergency Operations Command System (Sistema de Comando de Operações de Emergência, SICOE).
SICOE is a command system for emergency situations and is similar to the Incident Command System (ICS) used in the United States. SICOE allows for communications, normally confusing in a catastrophe situation, to be centralized and coordinates the various support organizations. It was adopted by the SPFD after the June 11, 1996 explosion of the Plaza Shopping Mall, in Osasco. The shopping center was devastated when accumulated gas below the food court exploded. The blast and fire and killed 45 people and injured another 482.
Search and rescue Throughout the night and into the next day, 205 fire fighters with 91 vehicles worked the scene. At 9:14 p.m., the fire service brought the main fire under control, but there were still hot spots in parts of the collapsed building.
Hydrants and tanker trucks supplied the water for the fire fighting. São Paulo is a city with an extremely small number of urban hydrants, making it dependent on fire apparatus-supplied water. This factor was one that the SPFD dealt with often and according to Coronel Nelson, at no point was there a shortage of water, which would have compromised the fire fighting.
At 11:25 p.m., close to four and a half hours after the crash, fire fighters extracted bodies through the tail of the plane. That was the beginning of the laborious and dangerous work of search and rescue.
On July 20, three days after the crash, the fire department announced that it was ending the search and extraction of the bodies in the front buildings and the right side of the TAM building. According to press reports, Fire Chief Coronel Manuel da Silva Araújo said that continuing the extraction work was impossible due to the risk of collapse. Additionally, fire fighters were still facing several secondary fires. However, the search of the wreckage of the TAM Airbus A320 in the left building, which is nearest to the gas station, would continue.
By July 22, the fire department ended the search for bodies and human remains in the TAM Express building, in what had turned into the worst disaster in the history of Brazilian aviation. According to fire fighters, the chances of finding new remains was practically nonexistent, once all the remaining building structures had been searched. The work of fire fighters thus turned to the monitoring of the structures that were at risk of collapsing.
Officially, the operation of the SPFD ended 20 days after the accident, on August 5, 2007 at 4:02 p.m., with the demolition of the building with an implosion. TAM donated the land to the city and in that spot a park and a memorial will be built in honor of the victims of the accident. During those 20 days, 900 fire fighters and 323 of the most diverse vehicles were used. In the hours that followed the impact, when the greatest flow of personnel took place, 205 fire fighters and 91 SPFD vehicles were at the scene of the accident, in addition to the vehicles and personnel of other emergency response services. An estimated 800 cubic meters (211,337 gallons) of water and 920 liters (243 gallons) of foam extract were used.
Despite the human tragedy, the fire fighter operations were considered a success, showing a good level of preparation and planning. As in all large-scale operations, valuable lessons resulted from the TAM Airbus A320 accident.
The difficulties According to Major José Luís F. Borges, sub-chief of the 5th GB of SPFD, this operation exhibited specific difficulties that fire fighters needed to overcome without incurring unnecessary risk, while simultaneously being able to do their job as quickly as possible.
The fire load was extremely high due to the amount of fuel in the plane and the speed at which it burned. This caused the fire to spread and quickly engulf the entire building. According to information provided by TAM, the aircraft had the capacity to carry 29,840 liters (7,882 gallons) of fuel. During the impact, it should still have had between 6,875 liters (1,816 gallons) and 7,875 liters (2,080 gallons) of fuel in its tanks. In addition, the amount of combustible materials in the building contributed to the intensity of the fire.
There was constant risk of explosion because of the fuel on the plane and the fuel stored at the gas station in front of the TAM building. The gas station had fuel tanks and one alcohol tank that amounted to 105,000 liters (27,738 gallons) of fuel and did not directly contribute to the fire. The tanks were emptied in the early morning hours of July 19.
Due to the force of the impact of the plane, the explosions and the high temperatures of the fire, the search and later identification and accounting of the victims proved to be extremely difficult. The bodies were photographed, tagged, and transported to the Legal Medical Institute. Search dogs were brought in to search for body parts, and this was the first time that these canines were used to identify charred bodies. Search-and-rescue work was also difficult because the building was at risk of collapsing.
The volatile scene also complicated the task of preserving the integrity of the victims' belongings, TAM's property, and valuables inside the building. The fire fighters gathered the belongings and photographed, recorded, and placed them under custody for future delivery to family members.
In addition, other concerns such as the need to manage media requests, the removal of unauthorized people from the areas near the accident, and the traffic congestion of the access ways to the disaster area, were all difficulties that the SPFD needed to overcome in order for the operation to be successful.
The successes The operation proved both the success of several programs developed by the SPFD and how the inclusion of them contributed positively to the progress of the operation. According to Coronel Nelson, the use of the Emergency Operations Command System was essential in the organization of the rescue activities and centralization of information. Unfortunately, few fire departments in Brazil and Latin America use this system.
The education and training of the SPFD's fire fighters have always been a priority, and this investment was an important factor that contributed to the success of the operation, according to Major José Luís F. Borges, sub-chief of the 5th GB of SPFD. The SPFD has a set of 48 handbooks that deal with specific fire scenarios. In addition, as a personnel development policy, all fire fighters are tested annually to evaluate their knowledge and are classified according to the results of those tests.
An important factor was the disaster preparation implemented by the department. The sad coincidence is that just a few months prior fire fighters took part in a large-scale simulation with a scenario very similar to the July 17, and this incident was invaluable to those on scene. The simulation was part of SPFD's annual training program.
A problem that is frequently mentioned by responders to most large emergencies is the difficulties fire fighters and the other emergency response organizations have communicating. To solve this problem, SPFD's fire fighters use an interconnection modular unit in the command post, which permits different communication systems to talk to each other.
With a disaster this complex, the SPFD quickly had to integrate working with a large number of emergency services, among them the state and municipal Civil Defense, which is responsible for supplying material support, activation of other organizations, registration of neighboring realty, and guidance to residents; the Military Police, which is responsible for the safety and isolation of the scene; and the Legal Medical Institute, which worked exhaustively in the identification of victims. Also invaluable were the efforts made by the Salvation Army, which coordinated the reception of donations and provided meals for the emergency personnel.
Conclusions Investigations into the accident's causes are still ongoing. However, an important lesson regarding emergency exits can be learned from this accident.
One of the basic principles to guarantee the safety of occupants of a building, required by NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, and by several other international building codes, is the requirement of always having at least two emergency exits in a building. That requirement is made in order to have an alternative escape route in case one of the exits is blocked for whatever reason. São Paulo state legislation does not require multiple emergency exits.
When the Airbus A320 hit the building, it destroyed the only emergency staircase through which the occupants could exit the building. A view of the TAM storage building and gas station. The plane hit the building's second story and destroyed a support pillar, which collapsed the third story onto the floor below.
Those people, including the ones that jumped from the third floor, could be alive today if the building had had a second emergency exit. This strong possibility was made obvious when of the nine bodies found in the building, seven were in the top, third floor, and that the two occupants who jumped where also on the third floor.
We know that important changes to legislation happen, unfortunately, as a result of great tragedies. We would all benefit if, after this accident, the SPFD changes its project approval criteria and starts requiring a minimum of two emergency exits in any new construction or renovations.
SPFD operations for the Flight 3054 incident shows the importance of planning, training, and the benefits of an Emergency Command System for coordinating the work of several response teams. Within the many successes of this operation, the 900 fire fighters that participated in this episode need to be recognized. During the 20 days that this operation took place, only one fire fighter was injured, and all the victims were found.

"Teaming with Rey [Mysterio] was always a good thing. We always had great chemistry whether it was against each other or as a tag team. We held titles on multiple occasions in WCW. On that night, we were facing The World's Greatest Tag Team, who were on a roll. They were actually a really great team. There was a lot of crazy back-and-forth action in that match. There was a lot of near-falls. I remember doing a Shooting Star Press to the floor to both of those guys, which got a big reaction. At the end of the match, there was a blind tag and the champions pinned Rey after a powerbomb-springboard clothesline combination. I tried to come in to make the save, but didn't quite make it.

First-Time Buyers More Willing to Compromise
- Written by Daily Real Estate News
- font size decrease font size increase font size
When it comes to space and upgrades, first-time home buyers are more willing to compromise than repeat buyers, according to the National Association of REALTORS®' 2011 "Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers."
While they have big wish lists too, first-time buyers seem to be most driven by finding a home that offers a reasonable monthly mortgage payment.
"Single home buyers tend to value affordability above all when they are choosing a home and a neighborhood," says Jessica Lautz, NAR's manager of member and consumer survey research. "They also focus more on living some place convenient to friends and family, as well as entertainment and leisure activities."
The median age of first-time home buyers is 31, and about 26 percent are married with children.
First-time home buyers tend to rate energy efficiency high on their wish list, as well as simple, no-hassle technology use in their house, the study finds.
But "even if they like the idea of solar panels, first-time buyers are not likely to spend an extra $20,000 to have them," says Stephen Melman, director of economic services for economics and housing policy for the National Association of Home Builders.
First-time buyers also are willing to compromise on space: The median-size of a home purchased by a first-time buyer is 1,570 square feet.
Overall, "the top three things that buyers want are a great room instead of a formal living room, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, and a laundry room," says Melman. "First-time buyers want the same thing, but they are more likely to be satisfied with a small laundry room without an attached mudroom and with a smaller master bedroom and a smaller walk-in closet."
But one thing first-time buyers aren't as willing to compromise on: Buying a home that needs a lot of repairs.
"Buyers that don't have any experience with home maintenance tend to be afraid of renovations, so home sellers should be sure to fix everything they can and make minor home improvements in order to appeal to first-time buyers," Melman says.

Whiteside District 115 board member
Diane Allen
Age: 48
Job: Operations Research Analyst
Phone: 618-233-4259
Email: None provided
Education: MS, Industrial Engineering, Mississippi State University; BS, Mathematical Sciences, US Air Force Academy
Previous offices: Whiteside School Board Member 2009-2013
Qualifications: I have learned a lot in my past four years serving on the school board. Previously, I served 20 years in the Air Force in a variety of jobs and leadership positions which provide a broad base of experience. In addition, living in many diverse parts of the country has exposed me to ideas from other states' school districts.
Top issues: In this economic climate, it is more important than ever to balance the need to provide a high quality education with the need to be responsible to the taxpayers. I will strive to work within budgetary means while continuing to provide the best educational opportunities for the students. In any decision, I will listen to the arguments of all sides and carefully weigh what is in the best interest of all involved, giving due consideration to students, family, teachers, administration and the community.
Whiteside District 115 board member
Louis Netemeyer
Age: 66
Job: Retired CPA
Phone: 618-235-0487
Email: email@example.com
Education: Bachelors degree in Accounting
Previous offices: School board Secretary
Qualifications: I am a retired certified public accountant with over forty years of general and school finance experience. iIhave prepared and managed the budgets of a number of public and private enterprices during my career as a public accountant. I have lived in the district for 35 years and all four of my children graduated from Whiteside.
Top issues: The biggest challenge facing the district are the cuts the state of Illinois has been implementing in school funding. Those cuts will continue into the future and the district will have to make changes to spending levels if it is to operate efficiently. There is currently no one on the current board or in any administrative positions with any advanced finance experience or training. The district is faced with a number of extremely difficult decisions in the near future which will require a high level of financial expertise if the financial challenges are to be addressed without an increase to the district tax rate. Another of the challenges facing the district is balancing the budget without impacting the quality of the education. The Whiteside School District has one of the lowest tax rates in the county and my goal is to make sure that those rates remain stable and that the district operates with a balanced budget.

Education: BA in Social Sciences for Secondary Education
Previous offices: Currently serving a two-year term on the Whiteside School Board
Qualifications: Through my six years as an educator in the O' Fallon 90 School District and my 13 years of business experience, I bring both a passion for providing a quality education for the children at Whiteside while maintaining a fiscally responsible budget. I also am a father of two. I continue to be impressed with the quality education provided by such a dedicated and passionate faculty and staff. With the uncertainty of funding over the past few years that all schools are facing, my priority is to continue to support the efforts to keep the district financially stable while maintaining the high quality standard of education for the children of Whiteside School.

Charles McKee
Age: 45
Phone: 618-222-6822
Email: None provided
Education: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
Previous offices: Whiteside School Board
Qualifications: Currently I serve as a Whiteside school board member and have two children attending the middle school. My business experience, accumulated over the past 20 years, has helped me understand and participate in addressing the issues facing our district. These issues have included budgeting, contract negotiations, staffing and the handling of administrative process/policy. Over the past four years I have regularly attended board meetings as well as school and community events. Additionally, I have been active with various board committees responsible for the direction and success of district goals and objectives. I have been an advocate for the responsible utilization of district resources to improve student achievement. I support a cooperative approach in working with other board members, school administration and the excellent teaching staff.
Top issues: The challenges facing our school board are the same for boards across the state. We must ensure that the required instruction and curriculum are in place to guarantee Whiteside students are receiving a quality education. At the same time we must ensure there is responsible leadership and decision making to drive the cost-effective operation of the district.

Kelly West
Age: 40
Job: Principal
Phone: None provided
Email: None provided
Education: Bachelor of Arts, Master in Curriculum & Instruction - SIU-Carbondale, Administration and Education Specialist - Lindenwood University
Previous offices: Board member, appointed in 2007.
Qualifications: I have successfully served as a Whiteside School Board member since my appointment in 2007. My husband and I are graduates of Whiteside and Belleville East High School. Our two children have attended Whiteside since kindergarten. Both of our children have greatly benefited from the outstanding teachers, staff, administration, curriculum, instruction and supplemental programs. As an educator for more than 17 years and a current administrator for the past seven years, my experiences and understanding of the multi-faceted changes in education have aligned with the district's mission and vision for its school community. I feel I have been a vested stakeholder and value the success and hard work that occurs within the Whiteside School community. I currently serve as the Vice-President of the School Board and have also negotiated in the last collective bargaining agreement with the WFT and have served on the discipline and building and grounds committees.
Top issues: I feel that my occupation and educational background have given me an opportunity to provide a substantial understanding about the many changes that are facing education and schools today (No Child Left Behind, Common Core Standards, P.E.R.A., Senate Bill 7 and the upcoming P.A.R.C.C. assessments). Throughout my term on the board, I have been committed to ensuring fiscal responsibility for the taxpayers, in addition to providing quality programs for all of our students and will continue to do so if elected for another term.

The following customer reviews are not endorsed by Fluid London and are simply those of users who wish to publish their independent experiences of Le Piaf.
"Possibly the worst restaurant in London.
Went for lunch on Saturday afternoon. The place was half full, not busy. Seated promptly and then waited for 10 minutes to order. Add another 10 minutes for the drinks to arrive and then another 5 for the food. I had a steak sandwich with fries, the fries were hard and cold and my wife had a chicken, brie and cranberry ciabatta. The chicken was raw, totally under cooked.
We then waited for someone to bring the bill but had it never arrived. In the end we had to walk up to the counter and pay. They had the cheek to charge us service! We did not have any.
I will never ever go here again. Worst restaurant in London by a mile."

Writing for Planet Earth
A guide for authors
- Introduction
- Hints on writing
- Formats for articles and news items
- Format and style for pictures
- How to submit an article
We are always looking for interesting news stories and features about NERC-funded science, but please don't send unsolicited articles as we can't guarantee to publish them. Discuss your ideas with The Editors first.
Our features are written by our scientists and staff, whether they be professors, PhD students or administrators. If you are NERC funded and would like to write for us, we would like to hear from you. We will give you every editorial support you need.
Planet Earth is a magazine for anyone interested in environmental science. It covers research sponsored by NERC or carried out by our staff. Our readers come from universities, schools, industry, politics, the media and the general public.
We want Planet Earth to be accessible to anyone who picks it up. So the language is everyday English - and that doesn't mean dumbing down. Plain language reflects clear thinking. Do not assume that because many scientists read Planet Earth they will understand the jargon in your specific area.
We also want to inspire people to find out more about science. We believe this is best done by bringing the scientists into the story.
Hints on writing
Please write in plain English, without technical jargon: if any creeps in we will take it out. If you have to use a technical term, explain what it means. Please avoid acronyms.
One way to get the right level of language is to imagine that you are trying to explain your science to a 14 year old. If you worry you'll be patronising, remember that this is the reading age of The Times and The Guardian. This may mean using sentences rather than one or two technical words, but this is fine.
Focus on your main findings, points, theory or evidence.
Although your methods and how you achieved your great discovery are vital to you as a scientist, this is not something a general audience needs to know in detail. But do include your personal experiences and opinions: we love to read about the challenges of fieldwork in remote places and the excitement of a new discovery in the lab.
Provide a hook to hang your story on. A topical issue is always good.
Explain why your work is relevant. People want to know what it means to them. Even if your work is a tiny part of a giant jigsaw, tell people which jigsaw you are working on.
Start with your main finding or point and tell the whole story in the first sentence or so. Use the rest of the article to add colour and more detail. Sum up at the end, repeating your main point.
Write as you would speak. Keep the language punchy, clear and colourful. Imagine you are sitting in a bar or standing at a bus stop explaining your work to a stranger with no science background. Write down exactly what you would say and tidy up the punctuation later.
Formats for articles and news items
Articles are up to 1000 words, but can be as short as 200 words. They provide a broad overview of a topic. They do not dwell on details or methods, but should discuss the wider significance or applications of the work.
The style should be informal. Include personal experience, comment and even humour to make the article more accessible (after all scientists are human too).
Please provide contact details (address, telephone number, email address and relevant web page addresses) for readers requiring further information.
News items
What is news? News is something that makes you say 'well I never!', or something you would tell your family about when you go home. This could be news that is of general interest (like the remote sensing data helping to discover why bodies from a bridge disaster in Portugal were swept all the way up the coast to northern Spain). We also run news stories about science achievements, new buildings or kit, prizes won, and events organised.
News items are up to 500 words; the shorter the better. Unlike articles they are written in the third person.
eg 'Four scientists were rescued last week after their research ship ran aground on the reef they were studying.'
Not 'It was a windy night and we were all very frightened as we heard a terrible grinding noise and salt water spurted through the hull.' (This kind of experience is better off in an article detailing the adventures of a marine biologist, which are welcome in Planet Earth).
Expect to see your new items severely edited. We have to try to fit in as many as we can.
Sound science
If you are writing about research that has not yet been peer reviewed or published, please alert the editors to topics that are sensitive, controversial, or may cause public alarm or embarrassment to NERC.
Format and style for pictures
Images that look great on your computer screen often simply aren't good enough for print. To avoid problems, please read the following points. If in doubt, please ask.
- We prefer digital files in RGB TIFF or JPEG format and at least 300 dpi. If your digital camera can't take pictures at more than 3 megapixels the pictures will probably not be suitable for printing.
- If your pictures are too large to email, or if you are unsure of the size, please send them on CD. We need CDs formatted for use on any computer, not just PCs, as our designer uses a Mac.
- Make sure you tell us who took the picture so we can print the right credit.
- It is your responsibility to get permission to reproduce any copyright materials.
- It's also your responsibility to make sure health and safety regulations are not being contravened in the image.
- We cannot use photographs embedded in Word or PowerPoint files.
- Avoid graphs or tables of data.
- For articles please send up to four pictures, including at least one of the author (preferably doing research in the field or lab).
- For news please send up to four pictures, preferably of the news story's main focus. If the focus is a bit of kit, or a building, try and get a picture of it with some people relevant to the story alongside. If it's research, then let's see the researcher.
- Good pictures are: action pictures with people in them, facing the camera and close enough so that you can see their faces; close ups of plants, insects, animals, bacteria etc; good landscapes.
- Bad pictures are: posed groups standing outside buildings, pictures of people taken from far away, pictures of groups of people standing around exhibitions boards or listening to someone talk with their backs to the camera.
- Please include brief, relevant and interesting captions, including names of people, species, etc.
NB Unless you ask us not to, we will keep a copy of your pictures in our image library for possible use in future NERC publications.
If you have any questions about pictures please contact NERC's designer Candy Sorrell.
How to submit an article
We don't accept unsolicited articles. If you have an idea for an article contact The Editors.
The editors will probably make some stylistic changes and may shorten the article. Unless the editing is truly trivial, you will be consulted before the story goes to print. Most editing is to put the writing into plain accessible English and to remove detail that will be interesting only to a very few specialists.
There are spring, summer, autumn and winter issues. The editors set individual deadlines with authors so that text can be edited, laid out, and slotted into the most appropriate place in the schedule. We welcome articles and ideas throughout the year. We're also happy to plan several issues ahead - so if you have a great story but it won't be ready for almost a year, it's not too soon to talk to us.
