High-resolution gravity data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission provide the opportunity to analyze the detailed gravity and crustal structure of impact features in the morphological transition from complex craters to peak-ring basins on the Moon. We calculate average radial profiles of free-air anomalies and Bouguer anomalies for peak-ring basins, protobasins, and...

Deux auteurs français qui ont séjourné au Japon, Thomas B. Reverdy et Eric Faye, écrit chacun un roman abordant le sujet des personnes disparues Japon. Le de Reverdy, Les Évaporés (2013) décrit la disparition volontaire d’un homme aux prises avec les sombres affaires entourant catastrophe Fukushima. Ces disparitions volontaires, connues sous terme jôhatsu (« évaporé »), concernent environ 100.0...

BACKGROUND A recent meta-analysis suggested evidence for an effect of exposure to ambient air pollutants on risk of certain congenital heart defects. However, few studies have investigated the effects of traffic-related air pollutants with sufficient spatial accuracy. OBJECTIVES We estimated associations between congenital anomalies and exposure to traffic-related air pollution in Barcelona, ...

At a time when the Health Effects Institute, Centers for Disease Control, and Environmental Protection Agency are creating an Environmental Public Health Tracking Program on Air Pollution Effects in the USA, it seemed useful to share the experience acquired since 1999 by the Apheis project (Air Pollution and Health-A European Information System), which has tracked the effects of air pollution o...

The persistence of atmospheric circulation anomalies over East Asia shows a winter to winter recurrence (WTWR) phenomenon. Seasonal variations in sea level pressure anomalies and surface wind anomalies display significantly different characteristics between WTWR and non-WTWR years. The WTWR years are characterized by the recurrence of both a strong (weak) anomalous Siberian High and an East Asi...

Introduction: Understanding the lunar gravity field can provide fundamental information about lunar internal structure, bulk composition, heat flow, and the duration of volcanism and tectonism. We aim to utilize the gravity field from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission to reconstruct the history of lunar volcanic history. The high-resolution GRAIL gravity maps show tha...
