The results of a photometric programme aiming to investigate the hypothesis of a physical association between the Southern Coalsack and the Chamaeleon-Musca dark clouds are presented. The analysis is based upon uvbyβ photometry for 1017 stars selected from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory star catalog to cover these clouds and the connecting area defined by the galactic coordinates: 30...

The origins of early farming and its spread to Europe have been the subject of major interest for some time. The main controversy today is over the nature of the Neolithic transition in Europe: the extent to which the spread was, for the most part, indigenous and animated by imitation (cultural diffusion) or else was driven by an influx of dispersing populations (demic diffusion). We analyze th...

Figure 6. Scatter plot of the GOSAT TANSO-FTS XH2O and coincident TCCON soundings (criteria of ±30 min and ±1° in latitude/longitude) at the Lamont (left) and Lauder (right) TCCON sites. All coincidences were found for TANSO-FTS land scans. Figure 4. Scatter plot of the GOSAT TANSO-FTS XH2O and coincident TCCON soundings (criteria of ̆30 min and ̆1 ̋ in latitude/longitude). For these criteria, the...

Latitude/longitude data in locality records should be published with spatial uncertainties, datum(s) used and indications of how the data were obtained. Google Earth can be used to locate sampling sites, but the underlying georegistration of the satellite image should be checked. The little-known relabelling of a set of landmarks on Mt Bellenden Ker, a scientifically important collecting locali...
