The first twenty years (1994–2014) of ozone soundings from Rapa Nui (27°S, 109°W, 51 m a.s.l.)

A global tropospheric ozone climatology from trajectory-mapped ozone soundings

A global three-dimensional (i.e. latitude, longitude, altitude) climatology of tropospheric ozone is derived from the ozone sounding record by trajectory mapping. Approximately 52 000 ozonesonde profiles from more than 100 stations worldwide since 1965 are used. The small number of stations results in a sparse geographical distribution. Here, forward and backward trajectory calculations are per...

The First Twenty-Five Years

At the initial meeting of the AES, held in November 1927, among the resolutions passed, two were of particular significance. They were: 1. That the object of this Society be to promote the study and discussion of epidemiological problems. 2. That membership shall consist only of those active and interested in the study of epidemiology. Although the by-laws did not specify that unfinished work c...

Twenty-one years later: Twenty-first century rehabilitation.

Welcome to Volume 1 issue 3 of the Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine. A focus for this issue is the rehabilitation of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Our authors have put together a series of article on the history and care of boys with DMD. Dr. Michael Nigro, my neighbor to the east, a long time leader in southeast Michigan and the United States in the care of neuromuscular disea...

Revisiting Rapa Nui ( Easter Island ) ‘ ‘ Ecocide ’ ’ 1 Terry

Easter Island (Rapa Nui) has become widely known as a case of ‘‘ecocide,’’ where the ancient Polynesians recklessly destroyed their environment and, as a consequence, suffered collapse. In recent publications, both popular and academic, scholars have promoted this perspective, drawing upon archaeological evidence and offering Rapa Nui as a parable for our current global crisis. In this paper we...
