1b). For safety and conservation reasons, the National Park Service prefers to identify the cave by number instead of providing its name or exact location. The cave contains an ice block that appears to be a remnant of a much larger (~ 1000 m3) congelation ice deposit that once filled...
Past the field, the mountains were gray walls with a little stubble of green at their feet. The sky overhead was gray, too, and the parsnip swayed like there might be some weather on the way. I glanced up and saw low-bellied clouds to the north. Ever since the double winter, it ...
Once Sister Madeline is knocked out, quickly take the rifle from J and he will return to the safehouse. Meanwhile, make a beeline for the garage, which contains Rod’s ice cream van inside. At the back of the garage is a vent, near one of the tree stumps we pointed out previously. ...
Accurate estimates of the past extent of the Greenland ice sheet provide critical constraints for ice sheet models used to determine Greenland’s response to climate forcing and contribution to global sea level. Here we use a continuous ice core dust record from the Renland ice cap on the eas...
The planet is awry. We awakened oil from its ancient slumber to fuel our own fossil dreams. We combusted the deep time of the past—aeons of compressed ocean shells, ancient plants, and animal bones—into an alchemy of black energy and our fantasy of a forever fossil future. Now the ic...
Here we are making available his PhD thesis, which contains much original, painstaking and unpublished work (thesis-part_1; thesis-part_2). Gary’s PhD was interdisciplinary and truly pioneering. He investigated the role of atmospheric transport in the distribution of two Erwinia species that ...
Don't pinch the wire spans with metal pliers to straighten kinks; this will mar the wire and create a weak point where a future break could occur. Testing and reinstalling the rewired grid: Reassemble the plastic bezel to the unit, and test the grid by connecting it to the ice machine...
Originally this was meant to have a map accompanying it, but the map contains "spoilers" (you could say) for the next entry as it covers until early 1300. As I mentioned in the last paragraph, even as Shikoku resists, the situation on the mainland considerably worsens for...
As the ice forms from the incremental buildup of annual layers of snow, lower layers are older than upper, and an ice core contains ice formed over a range of years. The properties of the ice or inclusions within the ice can then be used to reconstruct a climatic record over the age ...
Each square on this card contains a question. (Click here for a sample card created by teacher Peg Teeter.) Have each student fill in the answers for ALL questions beside #1. Wait for all students to finish. Then students must find classmates with the same answers written in each box. ...
