متن کاملPliocene Nothofagus Wood from the Transantarctic Mountains
Subfossil wood fragments up to 10 cm long and 2 cm in diameter recovered from a locality thought on the basis of diatom deposits to be upper Pliocene-lower Pleistocene (Oliver Bluffs, Sirius Formation, 85°1 O'S., between 1800 and 1900 m in the Transantarctic Mountains) were sectioned for identification. Degradation prevented observation of some wood features, but others were well preserved. All...
متن کاملA satellite case study of a katabatic surge along the Transantarctic Mountains
A low-light visiblelnear-infra-red satellite image of the Ross Ice Shelf area at 15 10 UTC on 1 November 1986 showed a cloud-free region along the Transantarctic Mountains from the Liv Glacier northward. The corresponding thermal infra-red image indicated that the clear area was a katabatic air mass, fed by katabatic winds blowing from the main glacier valleys that dissect the Transantarctic Mo...
متن کاملLandscape evolution of the Dry Valleys, Transantarctic Mountains: Tectonic implications
There are different views about the amount and timing of surface uplift in the Transantarctic Mountains and the geophysical mechanisms involved. Our new interpretation of the landscape volution and tectonic history of the Dry Valleys area of the Transantarctic Mountains i based on geomorphic mapping of an area of 10,000 km 2. The landforms are dated mainly by their association with volcanic ash...
متن کاملEinsteinium declassified.
On the first of November 1952, in a top secret test known as Mike, the United States detonated the ‘Sausage’ — the world’s first hydrogen bomb. The explosion annihilated the entire Pacific island of Elugelab, but it wasn’t all devastation; at the same time it created two new elements that their discoverers would later name einsteinium and fermium. The explosion was colossal, being more powerful...
