Although that figure is at best an estimate, it is supported by other convincing data. When Climatologist George J. Kukla of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and his wife Helena analyzed satellite weather data for the Northern Hemisphere, they found that the area of the ice and snow cover had suddenly increased by 12% in 1971 and the increase has persisted ever since. Areas of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, for example...

He pioneered the use of shock waves to explore the ocean floor and during World War II devised a system of naval communication based on the long-range transmission of explosion waves under water.

The Harvard Undergraduate Council opined that letting women use Lamont would cause irreparable harm to the "male emotional stability factor," although the council said it saw nothing wrong with men continuing to use Hilles. "Boys cause less disturbance in a female environment than vice versa, the HUC explained. Nevertheless, the new perspective on other kinds of disturbance occasionally demonstrated startling pervasiveness. Eight...
