This would have involved a very different research design (see e.g. Beattie and McGuire, 2012). In the following we shall first provide some background on media coverage of extreme weather and climate change, the study of visual imagery in the context of climate change, then present our ...
an aurora is about as reliable as the weather—I can plan a workshop a year or more in advance knowing exactly where the moon, Milky Way, and sometimes even a noteworthy comet, will be, but with the northern lights we just have to schedule and hope. Hope...

Scientist are being able to put all of these different kinds of instruments together,these measurements together,and start looking at the concept of perhaps closing the water budget of California.While much of the United States has experienced heavy rains and snowfall this winter,California is faced...
It might be weeks before anyone else tried that road and if the weather turned bad, our survival would be in serious question if we had no way to extend our survival or get to help. For sake of this entry, let’s assume for now that you have all gotten the message about leaving ...
