According to Bloxham, Mitrovica is well known for discovering the method for “fingerprinting sea level changes”—that is, pinpointing the locations of melted ice caps from the subsequent effects on the gravity field...
...kind of place. It's a full-service resort, with golfing, sailing and fishing. But it's located on it's own 70-acre island. Should you get lucky and snag a fish in that lake, the hotel's chef will filet it and put it on ice for you to take home at the end of your trip.

Stay in the main lodge, with its newly renovated rooms, and spring for a lake view. 110 Sagamore Road, Bolton Landing...

Polar bears depend on solid sea ice for survival; it's where they do their hunting. But when the ice begins to melt - as it has in recent years, thanks largely to warming - the bears can starve...

So when the Bush Administration bowed to pressure from environmental groups last year and finally listed the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) - admitting that melting sea ice was the reason - it was considered a rare green coup. Since the ESA mandates the government protect endangered species from hazards, listing the polar bear as threatened by global warming would appear to require Washington to control carbon emissions. Some green...
...sure got its ups and downs, baby, its strikes and gutters. You win some, you lose some. Sometimes you’re the Louisville slugger, sometimes you’re the ball. Sometimes Drew Faust gives you lemons, and you try to make lemonade, but you realize that the ice machine in the dining hall is turned off, and so you have lukewarm lemonade. That sucks.For me, Harvard has been a place that involves high risk and high reward. What I mean by that is, you are confronted on a daily basis with opportunities put yourself out there...
