it will be highly pertinent to initial Holocene dynamics in ISEA and Near Oceania, the Atlantic façade of northwest Europe, as well as (to a limited degree, thanks to generally steep coasts that delivered a quasi-modern insular geography relatively swiftly in ...
While this may seem contradictory, it suggests that different families have redundant functions, and the expansion of a family may lead to redundancy in another family and consequent gene loss through the pseudogene formation. In this study, we were able to elucidate patterns of genome evolution ...
Huge tsunami waves have repeatedly bombarded the southern end of the Ryukyu Islands (Miyako and Yaeyama Islands, southwestern Japan) at several-hundred-year intervals. Therefore, clarifying the islands’ paleotsunami history is important for risk assessm
Note that during incremental changes to the incident flow direction for all three cases (i.e., 1–3), Aeropuerto repeatedly records a narrow 8° arc between N-NNE winds. El Matorral showed highly variable instantaneous wind conditions with Uσ of 0.87 m s−1 and θσ of over 49°. ...
Early detection of the onset of a caldera collapse can provide crucial information to understand their formation and thus to minimize risks for the nearby population and visitors. Here, we analyse the 2007 caldera collapse of Piton de la Fournaise on La Réunion Island recorded by a broadband sei...
Hypo- saline lens formation in the upper water column was observed on a limited number of occasions at the height of the austral summer, but never reduced salin- ity of the upper 10 m by more than 1 psu relative to the underlying water column (but other depths — which were untested —...

Urban heat island (UHI), a phenomenon involving increased air temperature of a city compared to the surrounding rural area, results in increased energy use and escalated health problems. To understand the magnitude and characteristics of UHI in Seoul and to accommodate for the high temporal variabil...
The entire shape of the island is close to an oval formation in that the major axis inclines at about 15 degrees against the latitude from the northeast to the southwest and it is 2.4 times longer than the minor axis. Its length is 73 km and the width is 41km. The annual average ...
The stratigraphic subdivision of peat in the Gorobets River valley, the largest river on Shikotan Island, is conducted based on the study of palynological
