Lake Ice Will Be Less Safe for Recreation and Transportation Under Future Warming

How will Somali coastal upwelling evolve under future warming scenarios?

Somali upwelling system, the fifth in the world, presents some unique features compared with the other major upwelling systems: 1) it is a Western Boundary Upwelling System located near the Equator and 2) upwelling affects the moisture responsible for monsoon rainfall. The intensity of Somali coastal upwelling during summer was projected for the twenty first century by means of an ensemble of G...

Energy for Future Centuries– Will Fusion be an Inexhaustible, Safe and Clean Energy Source?

The current power consumption in different parts of the world and an estimate of the future energy needs of the world are given. The present energy supplies and prospects, the possible consequences of a continued massive fossil fuel consumption, and the potential of non-fossil candidates for long-term energy production are outlined. An introduction to possible fusion processes in future fusion ...

Will future forensic assessment be neurobiologic?

During the past two decades, research on the role of biologic factors in antisocial behavior has made great progress. This article discusses recent findings and their possible implications for future forensic assessment and treatment. In addition, some relevant philosophical, ethical, and political questions are brought forward.

Increasing Antarctic Sea Ice under Warming Atmospheric and Oceanic Conditions

Estimates of sea ice extent based on satellite observations show an increasing Antarctic sea ice cover from 1979 to 2004 even though in situ observations show a prevailing warming trend in both the atmosphere and the ocean. This riddle is explored here using a global multicategory thickness and enthalpy distribution sea ice model coupled to an ocean model. Forced by the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis dat...
