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...

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 groups even thought the ESA could be used...
