...than forming steadily and melting steadily, the process of glacier freezing and receding may be more more unstable, reflected in sudden rising and falling of the sea level. "It's fair to say that this means glaciers may change somewhat faster than we once inferred," says Jeffrey Dorale, a geoscientist at the University of Iowa and the lead author of the Science paper. "It does suggest there can be very fast is melting and very fast ice building at times when CO2 levels were lower than...
...more than a quarter of that output. The study could help make climate-change models more accurate, and help scientists understand whether increasing temperatures will lead to even higher methane emissions down the road. "It's all about more accurately describing climate in these models," says Paul Palmer, a geoscientist at the University of Edinburgh and a co-author of the Science paper...
...Warning Center in Hawaii, the waves that struck Burma, which lies mostly north of the fault, were much weaker than those that hit Thailand and Sri Lanka. "If the fault line had been running east-west, there could have been considerably more damage to Burma," says Jason Ali, a geoscientist at the University of Hong Kong. The small, rocky islands and coral reef that shield much of the country's coastline may have also helped blunt the waves...
...most important decisions they could have made at the time. Says anthropologist R. Ervin Taylor, director of the radiocarbon-dating lab at the University of California at Riverside: "If they sampled in the wrong place, then they were idiots--and I know that's not the case." Geoscientist Paul Damon, a member of the University of Arizona team that tested one of the 1988 samples, hastens to say that the swatch was selected conscientiously and on the advice of textile experts. Contradicting Adler, he maintains, "We stayed away from charring and what might have been charred." Beyond that, the samples...
...pollen that is easily detached and carried by the wind. Consequently, the Arizona air is laden with pollen pollution. "The desert is a wonderful place for wind pollination because the wind blows most of the year and the growing season lasts most of the year," says University of Arizona Geoscientist Dr. Allen M. Solomon. "We're just about at the pollen levels in the East...
