as a distinct socially constructed genre, wedding invitations (wis) offer a fruitful site for investigating how two areas of genre knowledge (i.e., form and content) change over time under the influence of sociocultural forces. through the examination of 100 iranian wis dating from 1970s to the present time, the study investigated the trajectories of change through time within the social semiot...

To investigate the effects of the middle atmosphere on climate, the World Climate Research Programme is supporting the project “Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate” (SPARC). A central theme of SPARC, to examine model simulations of the coupled troposphere–middle atmosphere system, is being performed through the initiative called GRIPS (GCM-Reality Intercomparison Project for SPARC...

Spatial climate data are often key drivers of computer models and statistical analyses, which form the basis for scientific conclusions, management decisions, and other important outcomes. The recent availability of very high-resolution climate data sets raises important questions about the tendency to equate resolution with realism. This paper discusses the relationship between scale and spati...

Cosmic ray exposure ages for formation of perched alluvial terraces and for abandonment of an alluvial/debrisflow fan on opposite sides of the Tangtse Valley (the outflow at the northwest end of Lake Panggong, which is in the Karakorum Range of Western Tibet) provide evidence of a humid period at V11.5 to V7 ka. This is consistent with other regional records and supports a controversial chronol...
