Investigations of the behavior of the geomagnetic field on geological timescales rely on globally distributed data sets from dated lava flows. We present the first suitable data from the Arctic region, comprising 37 paleomagnetic directions from Jan Mayen (71°N, 0.2–461 ka) and Spitsbergen (79°N, 1–9.2 Ma) and five paleointensity results....
An article detailing the intense storms on the Pacific Northwest coast in the last 10 days of October 1977. Reprinted from Mariners Weather Log 22 (2).
Mineral dust particles have been shown to act as cloud condensation nuclei, and they are known to interact
with developing tropical storms over the Atlantic downwind of the Sahara. Once present within liquid
droplets, they have the potential to act as freezing ice nuclei and further affect the microphysics, dynamics,...
The timing of the last interglacial (LIG) thermal
maximum across the globe remains to be precisely assessed.
Because of difficulties in establishing a common temporal
framework between records from different palaeoclimatic
archives retrieved from various places around the globe, it
has not yet been possible to reconstruct spatio-temporal variations
in...
More needs to be done by the private sector to optimize the drug discovery and development pipeline. In addition, significant efforts should also be focused on the understanding of mechanism of diseases, on the characterization of unexplored biochemical pathways and on the validation of new protein targets. Chemical genomics, which...
