The ‘cool-tropics paradox’ in palaeoclimatology
Over one thousand lunar transient events have been reported since the 1600s when telescopes were fi rst developed. Astronomer William Herschel during 1783–1787 reported several apparent lunar volcanic emissions: ‘I perceived in the dark part of the Moon a luminous spot. It had the appearance of a red star.’ Four years later Herschel wrote, ‘I perceive three volcanoes ... The third shows signs o...
متن کاملQuaternary pollen analysis: recent progress in palaeoecology and palaeoclimatology
During the last decade Quaternary pollen analysis has developed towards improved pollen-taxonomical precision, automated pollen identification and more rigorous definition of pollen assemblage zones. There have been significant efforts to model the spatial representation of pollen records in lake sediments which is important for more precise interpretation of the pollen records in terms of past...
متن کاملActivity and Movement Patterns of Polar Bears Inhabiting Consolidated versus Active Pack Ice
We investigated the influence of ice conditions on activity and movement patterns of polar bears in the CanadianWest Greenland Arctic. We used radiotelemetry data gathered over 11 years (1989–99) from 160 adult female polar bears to test for differences in movement and activity of bears inhabiting active ice and consolidated ice. Bears inhabiting active ice moved more than those inhabiting cons...

متن کاملLions, tigers, and bears, oh sh!t: Semantics versus tabooness in speech production.
While both semantic and highly emotional (i.e., taboo) words can interfere with speech production, different theoretical mechanisms have been proposed to explain why interference occurs. Two experiments investigated these theoretical approaches by comparing the magnitude of these two types of interference and the stages at which they occur during picture naming. Participants named target pictur...
