The Cameron Glacier, New Zealand

High-frequency Holocene glacier fluctuations in New Zealand differ from the northern signature.

Understanding the timings of interhemispheric climate changes during the Holocene, along with their causes, remains a major problem of climate science. Here, we present a high-resolution 10Be chronology of glacier fluctuations in New Zealand's Southern Alps over the past 7000 years, including at least five events during the last millennium. The extents of glacier advances decreased from the mid...

Regional cooling caused recent New Zealand glacier advances in a period of global warming

Glaciers experienced worldwide retreat during the twentieth and early twenty first centuries, and the negative trend in global glacier mass balance since the early 1990s is predominantly a response to anthropogenic climate warming. The exceptional terminus advance of some glaciers during recent global warming is thought to relate to locally specific climate conditions, such as increased precipi...

On Media A workshop report from US Institute for Peace examined Arab media, August, 05 (http://usip.org/virtual diplomacy/publications/reports/18.html), with special focus on attitudes to US and to the West. The relevant Arab governments play a double role since mostly, they control the media, where they appease the ideological positions of their own threatening insurgencies while focusing publ...

The distribution of the cardiac veins in the New Zealand White rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

In this investigation, 25 adult New Zealand White rabbits randomly selected from both sexes and studied.Coloured latex injection and corrosion cast methods were applied on the materials. This study was carried out to disclose the distribution of the cardiac veins of the New Zealand White rabbits. The veins that drain the heart were found to be the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, th...
