Question:
 The accelerating disappearance of glacial formations in critical icy regions like Greenland and Antarctica serves undeniable evidence for the aggressive advance of climate change induced by global warming.
This rephrased statement maintains the original sentence structure while altering some key phrases ("cited as proof positive" becomes "serves undeniable evidence", "onslaught" changes to "aggressive advance") and slightly shifts focus onto "climate change". However, it still conveys that rapid melting of these specific areas' ice masses is indicative of intensifying global warming effects. This transformation keeps both syntactical intricacy and overall meaning intact.

 Accelerating Loss of Ice Mass: A Stark Indicator of Climate Change
Since the mid-20th century, scientists have observed alarming declines in ice masses across Greenland and Antarctica, directly linking these phenomena to escalating global temperatures. These observations serve as compelling evidence supporting theories of anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change. Freshwater ecosystems dependent upon glacial runoff face dire consequences; reduced water supply impacts both humans and local flora and fauna reliant on stable freshwater sources. Moreover, accelerated ice cap disintegration contributes significantly to rising sea levels—a phenomenon threatening low-lying islands and densely populated coastlines globally.
Glacier dynamics—specifically focusing on mass balance—are crucial indicators of overall planetary health. When snowfall within high-altitude accumulation zones fails to match ice loss through melting or calving events occurring downstream in lower-elevation ablation zones, glaciers recede dramatically. Persistent imbalance leads inevitably to complete disappearance unless conditions stabilize favorably.
Historically speaking, during what historians refer to as 'the little ice age' spanning roughly AD 1300 - 1860, colder-than-average climates prevailed before transitioning into warmer trends post-industrial revolution era circa early-to-mid twentieth century onwards. Notable fluctuations occurred throughout subsequent decades reflecting broader shifts in average air/water temps., but since ~late eighties/early nineties timeframe there’s been marked uptick & acceleration regrading pace/scale w/r/t glacial shrinkage everywhere from Patagonia up thru Canadian Rockies down again all way back round circle returning finally once more unto frigid reaches encircling earths poles themselves…

Land consumption as part of human resource consumption is the conversion of land with healthy soil and intact habitats into areas for industrial agriculture , traffic ( road building ) and especially urban human settlements . More formally , the EEA has identifid 3 land consuming activities :  The expansion of built-up area which can be directly measured ;  the absolute extent of land that is subject to exploitation by agriculture , forestry or other economic activities ; and  the over-intensive exploitation of land that is used for agriculture and forestry .  In all of those respects , land consumption is equivalent to typical land use in industrialized regions and civilizations .   Since often aforementioned conversion activities are virtually irreversible , the term land loss is also used . From 1990 to 2000 , 1.4 e6ha of open space were consumed in the U.S. . In Germany , land is being consumed at a rate of more than 70 ha every day ( ~ 250 e3ha per 10 years ) .   Land loss can also happen due to natural factors , like erosion or desertification - nevertheless most of those can also eventually be tracked back to human activities . Another slightly different interpretation of the term is the forced displacement or compulsory acquisition of a native people or settlers from their original land due to land grabbing , etc. . Again , in most cases , this will be due to economic reasons like search for profitable investment and commodification of natural resources .   Even though global land loss progresses at an alarming rate , the land footprint , the area required by some Western countries can a lot larger than the land actually used or even available in the country itself .   While land prices have surged in the first few years of the 21st century , land consumption economy still lacks environmental full-cost accounting to add the long-term costs of environmental degradation .

A repeal is the removal or reversal of a law . There are two basic types of repeal , a repeal with a re-enactment ( or replacement ) of the repealed law , or a repeal without any replacement .   Removal of secondary legislation is normally referred to as revocation rather than repeal in the United Kingdom and Ireland . Under the common law of England and Wales , the effect of repealing a statute was `` to obliterate it completely from the records of Parliament as though it had never been passed . '' This , however , is now subject to savings provisions within the Interpretation Act 1978 .   In parliamentary procedure , the motion to rescind , repeal , or annul is used to cancel or countermand an action or order previously adopted by the assembly .

Denial , in ordinary English usage , is asserting that a statement or allegation is not true .   Deny may also refer to :

In software development ( and , by extension , in content-editing environments , especially wikis , that make use of the software development process of revision control ) , reversion or reverting is the abandonment of one or more recent changes in favor of a return to a previous version of the material at hand ( typically software source code in the context of application development ; HTML , CSS or script code in the context of web development ; or content and formatting thereof in the context of wikis ) .   A revert may be done for a wide variety of reasons , including : fixing errors introduced by previous edits ; restoring the material to a state that was not contentious until new disputes can be resolved ; undoing scope creep ; regression testing ; and even petty malice , vandalistic intent , or personal unhappiness with the author of a previous change . While the is generally agreed to be a sound and sometimes necessary one , particular instantiations of its use may be at least as controversial as the changes being reverted .

Kyntaw geir ( IPA / ` kəntau gəir / , named for its first line , ` kyntaw geir a dywedaw ' , ` the first speech I will utter ' ) is a medieval Welsh englyn-poem . It is a relatively rare example of religious poetry in the englyn form .

Reid Glacier is an alpine glacier located on the west slope of Mount Hood in the U.S. state of Oregon . It ranges in elevation from about 9800 to . The glacier is the source of the Sandy River . The upper extent of the glacier is known for extensive crevasses .   The glacier is a remnant of the massive glaciers that formed during the last ice age . It is bounded on the north by Yokum Ridge which also defines the southern side of Sandy Glacier , and by a ridge on the south bounding the north side of Zigzag Glacier . The eastern and upper reaches of this ridge include Illumination Rock . The uppermost portion of the glacier is below Leuthold Couloir . The glacier lies entirely within Mount Hood Wilderness .   Between 1907 and 2004 , Reid Glacier lost 35 % of its surface area . The glacier terminus has retreated by 1607 ft over the same time period .

Reconstruction is a term in architectural conservation whose precise meaning varies , depending on the context in which they are used .   More broadly , such as under the ICOMOS Burra Charter , `` reconstruction '' means returning a damaged building to a known earlier state by the introduction of new materials . It is related to the architectural concepts of restoration ( repairing existing building fabric ) and preservation ( the prevention of further decay ) , wherein the most extensive form of reconstruction is creating a replica of a destroyed building .   More narrowly , such as under the Secretary of Interior 's Standards in the United States , `` reconstruction '' is `` the act or process of depicting , by means of new construction , the form , features , and detailing of a non-surviving site , landscape , building , structure , or object for the purpose of replicating its appearance at a specific period of time and in its historic location . ''

Renegar Glacier is a steep glacier flowing southeast from Mount Dromedary into Koettlitz Glacier .

Question: The accelerating disappearance of icy expanses in Arctic regions like Svalbard and Antarctic territories serves undeniable evidence for the relentless advance of climate change-induced global warming.

 Glacial Retreat: Evidence of Global Warming
The rapid retreat of massive ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica serves as undeniable evidence of escalating global temperatures linked directly to anthropogenic climate change. Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, human actions - particularly carbon-intensive industries and deforestation - have significantly contributed to atmospheric CO2 levels, leading to increased heat retention around the globe. These rising temperatures accelerate glacial melting, resulting in shrinking ice masses across both poles.

Earth’s energy budget plays a pivotal role here – when there's excess absorption rather than radiation back into space, the planet heats up. Greenhouse gases trap additional warmth, intensifying what would otherwise be normal fluctuations in regional climates. Variations occur naturally too but are now dwarfed by man-made impacts.

Consequences extend beyond just altered landscapes; they encompass rising seas threatening coastal communities, shifts in ecosystems impacting flora and fauna survival chances globally, plus disruptions to traditional human livelihoods dependent upon stable seasonal cycles. Understanding how much influence humans exert becomes crucial for formulating effective mitigation strategies against ongoing environmental degradation.

Kolspissfjella is a mountain range in Nordenskiöld Land at Spitsbergen , Svalbard . It is located between Grøndalen and Hollendardalen . Among the mountains in the range are Bjørnsonfjellet , Finsenfjellet , Fossilfjellet and Paxfjellet . The range is named after the Norwegian company Kulspids .

Dead-ice occurs when a glacier or ice sheet ceases to move and melts in situ . After the ice has melted it leaves behind a hummocky terrain produced by the deposition of glacio-fluvial sediments and ablation till as the ice melted . Such features include kettle holes . Landscape forming Veiki moraines in northern Sweden and Canada have been ascribed as the result of ablation of extensive bodies of till-covered dead-ice .

The Diomede Islands ( -LSB- ˌdaɪ.əˈmiːdiː -RSB- острова́ Диоми́да , ostrová Diomída ) , also known in Russia as Gvozdev Islands ( острова́ Гво́здева , ostrová Gvozdjeva ) , consist of two rocky , mesa-like islands :   The Russian island of Big Diomede ( part of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug ) , also known as Imaqliq , Inaliq , Nunarbuk or Ratmanov Island  The American island of Little Diomede or Ignaluk , also known as Krusenstern Island   The Diomede Islands are located in the middle of the Bering Strait between mainland Alaska and Siberia , which borders with the Chukchi Sea to the north and the Bering Sea to the south . 9.3 km to the southeast is Fairway Rock , which is generally not considered part of the Diomede Islands . Because they are separated by the International Date Line , Big Diomede is almost a day ahead of Little Diomede , but not completely ; due to locally defined time zones , Big Diomede is only 21 hours ahead of Little Diomede ( not 23 hours ahead -- which is a common misconception ) . Because of this the islands are sometimes called Tomorrow Island ( Big Diomede ) and Yesterday Isle ( Little Diomede ) .

Lady Newnes Bay is a bay about 60 mi long in the western Ross Sea , extending along the coast of Victoria Land from Cape Sibbald to Coulman Island .

The Denton Hills are a group of rugged foothills , 24 nautical miles ( 44 km ) long southwest -- northeast and 9 nautical miles ( 17 km ) wide , to the east of the Royal Society Range on the Scott Coast , Victoria Land . The feature comprises a series of eastward-trending ridges and valleys circumscribed by Howchin Glacier , Armitage Saddle , Blue Glacier , the coast , and Walcott Bay . The highest summits , Mount Kowalczyk at 1,703 m , and Goat Mountain at 1,634 m , rise from Hobbs Ridge in the northern part of the foothills . Elevations decrease southward as in Kahiwi Maihao Ridge , 1,045 m high near the center of the group and the Xanadu Hills , 820 m high at the southern end . The principal glaciers ( Hobbs , Blackwelder , Salmon , Garwood , Joyce , Rivard , Miers , Adams , Ward ) flow east but have receded , leaving several dry valleys .   The Denton Hills were discovered and roughly mapped by the British National Antarctic Expedition , 1901 -- 04 , under R.F. Scott . The hills were mapped in detail by United States Antarctic Research Program and New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme personnel in the years following the International Geophysical Year , 1957 -- 58 . The hills were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names ( 1999 ) after Professor George H. Denton of the Department of Geological Sciences and the Institute for Quaternary Studies , University of Maine , who conducted geological research in the Transantarctic Mountains and Victoria Land ( including work in these hills ) , 1958 -- 99 , making more than 25 visits to Antarctica . Denton Glacier is also named after him .

Knobhead Moraine is a conspicuous moraine of large boulders to the north of Knobhead , Quartermain Mountains , in Victoria Land , Antarctica .

Armitage , Royal Naval Reserve , second in command of the British National Antarctic Expedition , 1901 -- 04 , who named it in association with Knobhead .

Rauer Islands is a group of rocky coastal islands which lie between Sorsdal Glacier Tongue and Ranvik Bay , in the southeast part of Prydz Bay . Discovered and roughly charted in February 1935 by a Norwegian expedition under Captain Klarius Mikkelsen . He named them Rauer , probably after the island lying in Oslofjorden opposite Tonsberg , Norway .

Random Hills are a group of rugged hills in Victoria Land , Antarctica . Bounded on the west by Campbell Glacier and on the east by Tinker Glacier and Wood Bay , centered about 15 nautical miles ( 28 km ) north-northwest of Mount Melbourne , they were named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition ( NZGSAE ) , 1966 -- 67 , because of the random orientation of the ridges which comprise the feature .

The Kolbeinsey Ridge is a segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located to the north of Iceland in the Arctic Ocean . It is bounded to the south by the Tjörnes Fracture Zone , which connects the submarine ridge to the on-shore Northern Volcanic Zone rifting center in eastern Iceland . The volcanic islands Kolbeinsey and Grímsey lie along the Kolbeinsey Ridge .


Question: The accelerating disappearance of icy expanses in Arctic regions like Svalbard and the Canadian Archipelago serves undeniable evidence for the relentless advance of climate change-induced global heating.

 Evidence of Accelerating Climate Change: Shrinking Ice Sheets
The alarming rate at which ice masses from Greenland and Antarctica are diminishing serves as stark evidence of escalating global temperatures linked to climate change. These vast expanses of frozen water, collectively referred to as ice sheets, cover significant portions of land exceeding 50,000 square kilometers each; they're distinct entities compared to smaller ice caps and isolated mountainous glaciers. Historically, massive ice formations blanketed parts of North America and Northern Europe during peak glacial periods, yet now, Greenland and Antarctica hold center stage.

Ice sheets exhibit unique properties under varying conditions - while surfaces remain frigidly cold, underlying layers often experience higher warmth thanks to earth’s internal heating mechanism. Consequently, localized melting ensues creating lubrication points facilitating faster movement within specific areas – phenomena akin to ice-streams coursing through expansive landscapes.

In geological history, contemporary polar ice structures emerged rather recently. Initially taking shape as modest ice-caps back in Early Oligocene era (~34 million years ago), Antarctica underwent cycles of expansion & contraction before stabilizing across nearly entire continent approximately three million years ago. Conversely, Greenland's transformation into a fully-fledged ice-covered territory occurred significantly later, possibly triggered by rapid onset of initial continental-scale glaciations. Interestingly, this swift development enabled exceptional preservation quality for ancient plant remains found embedded underneath modern day Greenlandic soil unlike those subjected to slower accumulation processes down south.

Thus, observing ongoing accelerated retreats across both regions underscores urgent need for addressing anthropogenic contributions exacerbating planetary thermal imbalance. Immediate action aimed at curbing excessive carbon dioxide emissions becomes imperative if humanity wishes to preserve remnants of these majestic icy realms for future generations' enjoyment instead of merely consigning them to dusty pages chronicling Earth's prehistoric past.

The 1954 Bjørnøya Consolidated PBY Catalina crash ( Bjørnøya-ulykken ) was a controlled flight into terrain ( CFIT ) of a Consolidated PBY Catalina on the island of Bjørnøya in Svalbard , Norway , on 28 March 1954 at ca. 15:00 . The Royal Norwegian Air Force aircraft of No. 333 Squadron RNoAF ( 333 Sqn ) was conducting a postal drop flight from Tromsø to five settlements on Svalbard , including Bjørnøya Radio , making a low pass over Bjørnøya at a height of 40 m before crashing into the ground . Only one of the nine on board survived .   The crew at the station set out to find the aircraft in 3 ft of snow , and did not manage to bring the survivor back to the station until the following day . Four military ships were dispatched to search for the aircraft . Once it was found , Andenes and Sørøy returned to Tromsø and then took the investigation commission to Bjørnøya . They concluded that the accident was caused by the aircraft losing altitude through a sideslip , possibly due to the pilot losing spatial awareness in the poor visibility .

Dildo is an unincorporated place on the island of Newfoundland , in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador , Canada . It is located on the southeastern Dildo Arm of Trinity Bay about 60 kilometres west of St. John 's . South Dildo is a neighboring unincorporated community .

The Dene people ( -LSB- ˈdɛnɛ -RSB- ) ( dene ) are an aboriginal group of First Nations who inhabit the northern boreal and Arctic regions of Canada . The Dené speak Northern Athabaskan languages . Dene is the common Athabaskan word for `` people '' ( Sapir 1915 , p. 558 ) . The term `` Dene '' has two usages . More commonly , it is used narrowly to refer to the Athabaskan speakers of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada , especially including the Chipewyan ( Denesuline ) , Tlicho ( Dogrib ) , Yellowknives ( T'atsaot ` ine ) , Slavey ( Deh Gah Got ` ine or Deh Cho ) , and Sahtu ( the Eastern group in Jeff Leer 's classification ; part of the Northwestern Canada group in Keren Rice 's classification ) . But it is sometimes also used to refer to all Northern Athabaskan speakers , who are spread in a wide range all across Alaska and northern Canada . Note that Dene never includes the Pacific Coast Athabaskan or Southern Athabaskan speakers in the continental U.S. , despite the fact that the term is used to denote the Athabaskan languages as a whole ( the Na-Dene language family ) . The Southern Athabaskan speakers do , however , refer to themselves with similar words : Diné ( Navajo ) and Indé ( Apache ) .   Alexander Mackenzie described aspects of a number of northern Dene cultures in the late eighteenth century in his journal of his voyage down the Mackenzie River .

The geothermal area Krýsuvík is situated on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland . It is in the south of Reykjanes in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland .   Krýsuvík consists of several geothermal fields , such as Seltún . Here solfataras , fumaroles , mud pots and hot springs have formed , the soil is coloured bright yellow , red , and green hues . Sulphur deposits were mined in 1722 - 1728 and in the 19th century . German scientist Robert Bunsen visited the site in 1845 and , based on research there , proposed a hypothesis on formation of sulphuric acid in nature .   Near the geothermal fields are several maars - craters created by the explosions of overheated groundwater . The unusual green-blue Grænavatn lake has formed in one of these maars . Test boreholes were made here in the early 1970s , some of the boreholes have turned into irregular , artificial geysers , one of which exploded in 1999 , leaving a crater .   Krýsuvík is a popular hiking area and tourism infrastructure - such as wooden pathways - has been developed .   The biggest lake in the area , Kleifarvatn , began to diminish after a big earthquake in 2000 ; 20 % of its surface has since disappeared .  In this area there were some farms until the 19th century , after which they were abandoned . Only a small chapel , Krísuvíkurkirkja , built in 1857 , remained , until it burned to the ground on January 2 , 2010 .   The music video for the song `` Never Forget '' by Greta Salóme & Jónsi was filmed in this area . This song also went to the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku , Azerbaijan and came 20th in the grand final .

World famous navigator and explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen ( 1778 -- 1852 ) , the discoverer of Antarctica , was born in Lahetaguse Manor . The manor was established in 1571 . None of the buildings have survived .


Question: Recent advancements employ spaceborne gravitational mapping techniques that gauge minute alterations in terrestrial mass distribution underneath satellites' trajectories through precise monitoring of gravity fluctuations during their orbital maneuvers.

 Satellite Gravimetry: A Revolutionary Approach To Measuring Terrain Mass
Satellite gravimetry has emerged as a cutting-edge technique for assessing variations in Earth’s gravitational pull, offering insights into the underlying masses of different terrains. Initially introduced through the pioneering work of the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE), this method involves twin satellites meticulously recording fluctuations in gravity while traversing various altitudes above Earth. Launched in early 2002, GRACE operated until late 2017 before transitioning responsibilities to its successor, GRACE-Follow On (GRACE-FO), inaugurated mid-2018. These missions, spearheaded collaboratively by NASA, DLR (German Aerospace Centre), UT Austin’s Center For Space Research, JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab), GFZ (Geoscience Research Centre) Potsdam among others, revolutionized understanding about planetary dynamics, particularly concerning oceans, geologic formations & climate systems. Satellites GRACE-1&2 embarked upon Russian Rockot rocket from Plesestk base; initially positioned ~500km high orbitally inclined @~89 degrees apart roughly 220kms distance enabling comprehensive survey each month.

A residual gas analyzer ( RGA ) is a small and usually rugged mass spectrometer , typically designed for process control and contamination monitoring in vacuum systems . Utilizing quadrupole technology , there exists two implementations , utilizing either an open ion source ( OIS ) or a closed ion source ( CIS ) . RGAs may be found in high vacuum applications such as research chambers , surface science setups , accelerators , scanning microscopes , etc. . RGAs are used in most cases to monitor the quality of the vacuum and easily detect minute traces of impurities in the low-pressure gas environment . These impurities can be measured down to Torr levels , possessing sub-ppm detectability in the absence of background interferences .   RGAs would also be used as sensitive in-situ leak detectors commonly using helium , isopropyl alcohol or other tracer molecules . With vacuum systems pumped down to lower than Torr -- checking of the integrity of the vacuum seals and the quality of the vacuum -- air leaks , virtual leaks and other contaminants at low levels may be detected before a process is initiated .

Remote Sensing Systems ( RSS ) is a private research company founded in 1974 by Frank Wentz . It processes microwave data from a variety of NASA satellites . Most of their research is supported by the Earth Science Enterprise program . The company is based in Santa Rosa , California .   They are a widely cited source of data , on the satellite temperature record . Their data is one source of evidence for global warming . Research by Carl Mears , Matthias Schabel , and Wentz , all of RSS , highlighted errors in the early satellite temperature records compiled by John Christy and Roy Spencer at UAH . The UAH data had previously showed no significant temperature trend , bringing the derived satellite data into closer agreement with surface temperature trends , radiosonde data and computer models . The UAH data is now closer to the RSS data but differences remain , for example the Lower Troposphere global average trend since 1979 , RSS currently have +0.133 K/decade while UAH have 0.140 K/decade , while the mid troposphere difference is even more marked at 0.079 K/decade and 0.052 K/decade respectively . However , in a recent online YouTube video , Dr. Carl Mears , a senior scientist with the team behind the satellite data , explained how he believes his data set needed correction .  I would have to say that the surface data seems that it 's more accurate , because a number of groups analyze the surface data , including some who set out to prove the other ones wrong , and they all get more or less the same answer .

RR Lyrae is a variable star in the Lyra constellation , located near the border with the neighboring constellation of Cygnus . As the brightest star in its class , it became the eponym for the RR Lyrae variable class of stars and it has been extensively studied by astronomers . RR Lyrae variables serve as important standard candles that are used to measure astronomical distances . The period of pulsation of an RR Lyrae variable depends on its mass , luminosity and temperature , while the difference between the measured luminosity and the actual luminosity allows its distance to be determined via the inverse square law . Hence , understanding the period-luminosity relation for a set of local RR Lyrae-type variable stars allows the distance of more distant stars of this type to be determined .   The variable nature of RR Lyrae was discovered by the Scottish astronomer Williamina Fleming at Harvard Observatory in 1901 .   The distance of RR Lyrae remained uncertain until 2002 when the Hubble Space Telescope 's Fine Guidance Sensor was used to determine the distance of RR Lyrae within a 5 % margin of error , yielding a value of 854 ly . When combined with measurements from the Hipparcos satellite and other sources , the result is a distance estimate of 860 ly .   This type of low-mass star has consumed the hydrogen at its core , evolved away from the main sequence , and passed through the red giant stage . Energy is now being produced by the thermonuclear fusion of helium at its core , and the star has entered an evolutionary stage called the horizontal branch ( HB ) . The effective temperature of an HB star 's outer envelope will gradually increase over time . When its resulting stellar classification enters a range known as the instability strip -- typically at stellar class A -- the outer envelope can begin to pulsate . RR Lyrae shows just such a regular pattern of pulsation , which is causing its apparent magnitude to vary between 7.06 -- 8.12 over a short cycle lasting 0.56686776 days ( 13 hours , 36 minutes ) . Each radial pulsation causes the radius of the star to vary between 5.1 and 5.6 times the Sun 's radius .   This star belongs to a subset of RR Lyrae-type variables that show a characteristic behavior called the Blazhko effect , named after Russian astronomer Sergey Blazhko . This effect is observed as a periodic modulation of a variable star 's pulsation strength or phase ; sometimes both . It causes the light curve of RR Lyrae to change from cycle to cycle . As of 2009 , the cause of this effect is not yet fully understood . The Blazhko period for RR Lyrae is .   As with other RR Lyrae-type variables , RR Lyrae itself has a low abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium -- what astronomers term its metallicity . It belongs to the Population II category of stars that formed during the early period of the Universe when there was a lower abundance of metals in star-forming regions . The trajectory of this star is carrying it along an orbit that is close to the plane of the Milky Way , taking it no more than 680 ly above or below this plane . The orbit has a high eccentricity , bringing RR Lyrae as close as 6.80 kly to the Galactic Center at periapsis , and taking it as far as 59.9 kly at apapsis .

Deadweight tonnage ( also known as deadweight ; abbreviated to DWT , D.W.T. , d.w.t. , or dwt ) or tons deadweight ( TDW ) is a measure of how much mass a ship is carrying or can safely carry ; it does not include the weight of the ship . DWT is the sum of the weights of cargo , fuel , fresh water , ballast water , provisions , passengers , and crew .   DWT is often used to specify a ship 's maximum permissible deadweight ( i.e. when she is fully loaded so that her Plimsoll line is at water level ) , although it may also denote the actual DWT of a ship not loaded to capacity .

In physical cosmology and astronomy , dark energy is an unknown form of energy which is hypothesized to permeate all of space , tending to accelerate the expansion of the universe . Dark energy is the most accepted hypothesis to explain the observations since the 1990s indicating that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate .   Assuming that the standard model of cosmology is correct , the best current measurements indicate that dark energy contributes 68.3 % of the total energy in the present-day observable universe . The mass -- energy of dark matter and ordinary ( baryonic ) matter contribute 26.8 % and 4.9 % , respectively , and other components such as neutrinos and photons contribute a very small amount . The density of dark energy ( ~ 7 × 10 − 30 g/cm3 ) is very low , much less than the density of ordinary matter or dark matter within galaxies . However , it comes to dominate the mass -- energy of the universe because it is uniform across space .   Two proposed forms for dark energy are the cosmological constant , representing a constant energy density filling space homogeneously , and scalar fields such as quintessence or moduli , dynamic quantities whose energy density can vary in time and space . Contributions from scalar fields that are constant in space are usually also included in the cosmological constant . The cosmological constant can be formulated to be equivalent to the zero-point radiation of space i.e. the vacuum energy . Scalar fields that change in space can be difficult to distinguish from a cosmological constant because the change may be extremely slow .   High-precision measurements of the expansion of the universe are required to understand how the expansion rate changes over time and space . In general relativity , the evolution of the expansion rate is estimated from the curvature of the universe and the cosmological equation of state ( the relationship between temperature , pressure , and combined matter , energy , and vacuum energy density for any region of space ) . Measuring the equation of state for dark energy is one of the biggest efforts in observational cosmology today . Adding the cosmological constant to cosmology 's standard FLRW metric leads to the Lambda-CDM model , which has been referred to as the `` standard model of cosmology '' because of its precise agreement with observations .

Land reclamation , usually known as reclamation , and also known as land fill ( not to be confused with a landfill ) , is the process of creating new land from ocean , riverbeds , or lake beds . The land reclaimed is known as reclamation ground or land fill .   In a number of other jurisdictions , including parts of the United States , the term `` reclamation '' can refer to returning disturbed lands to an improved state . In Alberta , Canada , for example , reclamation is defined by the provincial government as `` The process of reconverting disturbed land to its former or other productive uses . '' In Oceania it is frequently referred to as land rehabilitation .

Lagrangian mechanics is a reformulation of classical mechanics , introduced by the Italian-French mathematician and astronomer Joseph-Louis Lagrange in 1788 .   In Lagrangian mechanics , the trajectory of a system of particles is derived by solving the Lagrange equations in one of two forms , either the Lagrange equations of the first kind , which treat constraints explicitly as extra equations , often using Lagrange multipliers ; or the Lagrange equations of the second kind , which incorporate the constraints directly by judicious choice of generalized coordinates . In each case , a mathematical function called the Lagrangian is a function of the generalized coordinates , their time derivatives , and time , and contains the information about the dynamics of the system .   No new physics is introduced in Lagrangian mechanics compared to Newtonian mechanics . Newton 's laws can include non-conservative forces like friction ; however , they must include constraint forces explicitly and are best suited to Cartesian coordinates . Lagrangian mechanics is ideal for systems with conservative forces and for bypassing constraint forces in any coordinate system . Dissipative and driven forces can be accounted for by splitting the external forces into a sum of potential and non-potential forces , leading to a set of modified Euler-Lagrange ( EL ) equations . Generalized coordinates can be chosen by convenience , to exploit symmetries in the system or the geometry of the constraints , which may simplify solving for the motion of the system . Lagrangian mechanics also reveals conserved quantities and their symmetries in a direct way , as a special case of Noether 's theorem .   Lagrangian mechanics is important not just for its broad applications , but also for its role in advancing deep understanding of physics . Although Lagrange only sought to describe classical mechanics in his treatise Mécanique analytique , William Rowan Hamilton later developed Hamilton 's principle that can be used to derive the Lagrange equation and was later recognized to be applicable to much of fundamental theoretical physics as well , particularly quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity . It can also be applied to other systems by analogy , for instance to coupled electric circuits with inductances and capacitances .   Lagrangian mechanics is widely used to solve mechanical problems in physics and when Newton 's formulation of classical mechanics is not convenient . Lagrangian mechanics applies to the dynamics of particles , fields are described using a Lagrangian density . Lagrange 's equations are also used in optimisation problems of dynamic systems . In mechanics , Lagrange 's equations of the second kind are used much more than those of the first kind .

The Laplace plane or Laplacian plane of a planetary satellite , named after its discoverer Pierre-Simon Laplace ( 1749 -- 1827 ) , is a mean or reference plane about whose axis the instantaneous orbital plane of a satellite precesses .   Laplace 's name is sometimes applied to the invariable plane , which is the plane perpendicular to a system 's mean angular momentum vector , but the two should not be confused . They are equivalent only in the case where all perturbers and resonances are far from the precessing body .

RADARSAT-1 is Canada 's first commercial Earth observation satellite . It utilized synthetic aperture radar ( SAR ) to obtain images of the Earth 's surface to manage natural resources and monitor global climate change . As of March 2013 , the satellite was declared non-operational and is no longer collecting data .


Question: Recent advancements have incorporated spaceborne gravimetric techniques, which gauge minute gravitational variations while orbiting above, allowing for precise calculations of landmass density below Earth's surface.

 Satellite Gravimetry: Measuring Terrain Masses
Satellite gravimetry has emerged as a cutting-edge technique for mapping the masses hidden under terrains across various celestial bodies, including planets and moons within our solar system. By employing advanced satellites equipped with sensitive instruments capable of measuring minute fluctuations in gravity fields during orbital passages, scientists gain invaluable insights into subsurface structures. These precise readings reveal details about internal compositions, density distributions, and even fluid dynamics occurring deep below surfaces. On Mars specifically, where understanding geophysical phenomena holds significant scientific interest, satellite-based observations play crucial roles. They help unravel mysteries related to Martian tectonics, volcanism, impacts, cryosphere variability, atmosphere-ocean interactions, and overall planetary evolution. Moreover, analyzing tidal deformations induced by external gravitational influences—such as those exerted by the sun or nearby moon Phobos—enables researchers to probe stiffness characteristics throughout Mars' interior layers up until reaching its partly molten core region. Consequently, advancements achieved through enhanced spatial resolution techniques contribute substantially to shaping more accurate three-dimensional models concerning both solid-state properties and dynamic processes governing behavior inside rocky worlds beyond Earth itself; thereby facilitating informed decision-making regarding prospective exploration missions aimed at uncovering new knowledge frontiers associated with extraterrestrial environments.

Diffuse field acoustic testing is the testing of the mechanical resistance of a spacecraft to the acoustic pressures during launch .   In the aerospace industry , acoustic chambers are the main facilities for such tests . A chamber is a reverberant room that creates a diffuse sound field and is composed of an empty volume ( from 1 m3 to 2900 m3 ) and a multifrequency sound generation system .

A rangefinder is a device that measures distance from the observer to a target , in a process called ranging .

Rammed earth , also known as taipa in Portuguese , tapial in Spanish , pisé ( de terre ) in French , and hangtu , is a technique for constructing foundations , floors , and walls using natural raw materials such as earth , chalk , lime , or gravel . It is an ancient method that has been revived recently as a sustainable building material used in a technique of natural building .   Rammed earth is simple to manufacture , non-combustible , thermally massive , strong , and durable . However , structures such as walls can be laborious to construct of rammed earth without machinery , e. g. , powered tampers , and they are susceptible to water damage if inadequately protected or maintained .   Edifices formed of rammed earth are on every continent except Antarctica , in a range of environments including temperate , wet , semiarid desert , montane , and tropical regions . The availability of suitable soil and a building design appropriate for local climatic conditions are the factors that favour its use .

Kursk Magnetic Anomaly is a territory rich in iron ores located within the Kursk , Belgorod , and Voronezh oblasts in Russia , and constitutes a significant part of the Central Chernozyom Region . The Kursk Magnetic Anomaly is recognized as the largest magnetic anomaly on Earth .   The Kursk Magnetic Anomaly ( KMA ) was first discovered in 1773 by the Russian astronomer and academic Pyotr Inokhodtsev while preparing the maps of the General Land Survey at the behest of the Russian government . It was not investigated again until 1874 when I. N. Smirnov conducted the first geomagnetic survey of European Russia . In 1883 , N. D. Pilchikov , an assistant professor at Kharkiv University , conducted a series of 71 observations of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly . These revealed a much larger extent than previously measured and for the first time attributed the anomaly to the presence of iron ore . In 1884 , on the basis of this discovery , Pilchikov was awarded the silver medal of the Russian Geographical Society .   Serious investigation of the economic potential of the anomaly occurred under the leadership of Ivan Gubkin in 1920-1925 , originally based upon the possibilities for oil . Rich ores were discovered in the region of the anomaly about 1931 . The ores are spread over an area estimated at 120,000 km ² and are magnetite quartzites disseminated throughout metamorphic rocks and Pre-Cambrian granitoids . Surveyed ore reserves of ferrous quartzite are presently estimated at more than 25 billion tonnes of 32-37 % Fe and more than 30 billion tonnes of 52-66 % Fe . The open pit method is used to mine this ore at the Stoylenskoye , Lebedinskoye , and Mikhailovskoye deposits . Underground mining methods are used for the Korobkovskoye deposit .

Recruitment ( hiring ) is a core function of human resource management . Recruitment refers to the overall process of attracting , selecting and appointing suitable candidates  for jobs ( either permanent or temporary ) within an organization .

Managers , human resource generalists and recruitment specialists may be tasked with carrying out recruitment , but in some cases public-sector employment agencies , commercial recruitment agencies , or specialist search consultancies are used to undertake parts of the process . Internet-based technologies to support all aspects of recruitment have become widespread .

Dawn is a space probe launched by NASA in September 2007 with the mission of studying two of the three known protoplanets of the asteroid belt , Vesta and Ceres . It is currently in orbit about its second target , the dwarf planet Ceres . Dawn is the first spacecraft to orbit two extraterrestrial bodies , the first spacecraft to visit either Vesta or Ceres , and also the first to visit a dwarf planet , arriving at Ceres in March 2015 , a few months before New Horizons flew by Pluto in July 2015 .   Dawn entered Vesta orbit on July 16 , 2011 , and completed a 14-month survey mission before leaving for Ceres in late 2012 . Dawn entered Ceres orbit on March 6 , 2015 , and is predicted to remain in orbit perpetually after the conclusion of its mission . NASA considered , but decided against , a proposal to visit a third target .   The Dawn mission is managed by NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory , with spacecraft components contributed by European partners from the Netherlands , Italy and Germany . It is the first NASA exploratory mission to use ion propulsion , which enabled it to enter and leave the orbit of multiple celestial bodies . Previous multi-target missions using conventional drives , such as the Voyager program , were restricted to flybys .

A reusable launch system ( RLS , or reusable launch vehicle , RLV ) is a launch system which is capable of launching a payload into space more than once . This contrasts with expendable launch systems , where each launch vehicle is launched once and then discarded .   No completely reusable orbital launch system has ever been created . Two partially reusable launch systems were developed , the Space Shuttle and Falcon 9 . The Space Shuttle was partially reusable : the orbiter ( which included the Space Shuttle main engines and the Orbital Maneuvering System engines ) , and the two solid rocket boosters were reused after several months of refitting work for each launch . The external tank was discarded after each flight .   The Falcon 9 rocket has a reusable first stage ; several of these stages have been safely returned to land after launch . On 30 March 2017 , a reused Falcon 9 successfully landed on an Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship ( ASDS ) , after its second launch , marking the first successful relaunch and landing of a used orbital-class booster .   Several systems reusing parts of the rocket , such as the first stage of New Glenn and the engine sections of Ariane 6 ( Adeline ) and Vulcan , are currently under development . One fully reusable system , the Interplanetary Transport System , is also under development .   Orbital RLVs are thought to provide the possibility of low cost and highly reliable access to space . Reusability implies weight penalties such as non-ablative reentry shielding , additional fuel and rocket components necessary for landing , and possibly a stronger structure to survive multiple uses . Given the lack of experience with these vehicles , the actual costs and reliability are yet to be seen .

The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite ( LCROSS ) was a robotic spacecraft operated by NASA . The mission was conceived as a low-cost means of determining the nature of hydrogen detected at the polar regions of the moon . Launched immediately after discovery of lunar water by Chandrayaan-1 , the main LCROSS mission objective was to further explore the presence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region . It was successful in confirming water in the southern lunar crater Cabeus .   It was launched together with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter ( LRO ) on June 18 , 2009 , as part of the shared Lunar Precursor Robotic Program , the first American mission to the Moon in over ten years . Together , LCROSS and LRO form the vanguard of NASA 's return to the Moon , and are expected to influence United States government decisions on whether or not to colonize the Moon .   LCROSS was designed to collect and relay data from the impact and debris plume resulting from the launch vehicle 's spent Centaur upper stage ( and data collecting Shepherding Spacecraft ) striking the crater Cabeus near the south pole of the Moon .   Centaur had nominal impact mass of 2,305 kg ( 5,081 lb ) , and an impact velocity of about 9000 km/h , releasing the kinetic energy equivalent of detonating approximately 2 tons of TNT ( 8.86 GJ ) .   LCROSS suffered a malfunction on August 22 , depleting half of its fuel and leaving very little fuel margin in the spacecraft .   Centaur impacted successfully on October 9 , 2009 , at 11:31 UTC . The Shepherding Spacecraft descended through Centaur 's ejectate plume , collected and relayed data , impacting six minutes later at 11:37 UTC .   Contrary to media reports at the time , neither the impact nor its dust cloud could be seen from Earth , using the naked eye or telescopes .

In mathematics , real coordinate space of dimensions , written R ( -LSB- ɑrˈɛn -RSB- ) ( also written with blackboard bold ) is a coordinate space that allows several real variables to be treated as a single variable . With various numbers of dimensions ( sometimes unspecified ) , is used in many areas of pure and applied mathematics , as well as in physics . With component-wise addition and scalar multiplication , it is the prototypical real vector space and is a frequently used representation of Euclidean - space . Due to the latter fact , geometric metaphors are widely used for , namely a plane for and three-dimensional space for .


Question: Recent advancements employ spaceborne gravimetric techniques, gauging the weight of landmasses underneath through identifying subtle shifts in gravitational pull when an orbiting spacecraft traverses above.

 Satellite Gravimetry: Measuring Terrain Mass
Satellite gravimetry represents a cutting-edge technique employed to estimate the mass distribution below Earth’s surface through precise detection of subtle fluctuations in its gravitational pull. Satellites equipped with advanced sensors traverse orbits above us, meticulously recording minute variances in gravity strength as they pass different terrains. These sophisticated instruments function akin to highly-sensitive gravimeters – devices specifically crafted to gauge the Earth’s varying gravitational fields across its expansive surface, differing up to approximately half a percent globally.
The core operational mechanism aligns closely with traditional accelerometers but undergoes significant enhancement to amplify sensitivity levels significantly higher than standard models. Such heightened precision enables discernment of infinitesimal alterations induced within Earth’s baseline gravity force (approximately 9.8 m/s²), triggered predominantly by underlying geological formations’ density contrasts, planetary morphology peculiarities, along with cyclical tides influenced shifts.
However, achieving such exquisite accuracy necessitates stringent control measures against external interferences; vibrational disturbances capable of inducing spurious readings need vigilant mitigation strategies encompassing both mechanical dampening systems alongside robust algorithmic filtering techniques applied post-data acquisition phase. Moreover, unlike conventional applications requiring instantaneous responsiveness, gravimetric investigations often benefit immensely from extended averaging periods facilitating enhanced resolution outputs despite relaxed timing constraints imposed upon data collection protocols.
These state-of-the-art tools serve pivotal roles spanning diverse scientific disciplines ranging from hydrocarbon exploration endeavors targeting subsurface reservoir delineation tasks, seismic monitoring networks aimed at earthquake prediction capabilities improvement initiatives, geodetic survey missions focused on refining reference ellipsoid parameters governing accurate geographical positioning services infrastructure deployment plans, comprehensive geophysical mapping campaigns intended for elucidating intricate crustal architecture details down to kilometer-scale dimensions, all culminating into fostering advancements under broader umbrella category termed ‘metrology’. Two prominent categories exist amongst contemporary gravimetric measurement solutions - namely “relative” & “absolute”, each possessing distinct advantages tailored towards addressing specific user requirements efficiently while complementarily coexisting harmoniously within overarching framework dictated solely based upon targeted application domain complexities encountered during practical deployments scenarios encountered routinely nowadays!

In military operations , reconnaissance is the exploration outside an area occupied by friendly forces to gain information about natural features and enemy presence .   Examples of reconnaissance include patrolling by troops ( Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol , U.S. Army Rangers , cavalry scout , or military intelligence specialists ) , ships or submarines , manned/unmanned reconnaissance aircraft , satellites , or by setting up covert observation posts . Espionage normally is not reconnaissance , because reconnaissance is a military 's special forces operating ahead of its main forces ; spies are non-combatants operating behind enemy lines .   Often called `` recce '' ( British and Canadian English ) or `` recon '' ( American and Australian English ) , the associated verb is reconnaître .

Dimensional weight , also known as volumetric weight , is a pricing technique for commercial freight transport ( including courier and postal services ) , which uses an estimated weight that is calculated from the length , width and height of a package .

Reciprocal length or inverse length is a measurement used in several branches of science and mathematics . As the reciprocal of length , common units used for this measurement include the reciprocal metre or inverse metre ( m − 1 ) , the reciprocal centimetre or inverse centimetre ( cm − 1 ) , and , in optics , the dioptre .   Quantities measured in reciprocal length include :  absorption coefficient or attenuation coefficient , in materials science  curvature of a line , in mathematics  gain , in laser physics  magnitude of vectors in reciprocal space , in crystallography  more generally any spatial frequency e.g. in cycles per unit length  optical power of a lens , in optics  rotational constant of a rigid rotor , in quantum mechanics  wavenumber , or magnitude of a wavevector , in spectroscopy  density of a linear feature in hydrology and other fields ; see kilometre per square kilometre

Rex Geveden is the President and Chief Executive Officer of BWX Technologies . Previously he was Chief Operating Officer .   Prior to his tenure with BWXT , Rex Geveden was Executive Vice President of Teledyne Technologies Inc and President of Teledyne Dalsa in Waterloo , Ontario . Previously he was the president of Teledyne Brown Engineering and the Associate Administrator of NASA before that . He was selected for that position by NASA chief Michael Griffin on August 17 , 2005 , after having served in an acting capacity since June of that year . Griffin created the position immediately prior to assigning Geveden to fill it . The Associate Administrator 's task is described as `` oversight for all the agency 's technical missions ' areas and field center operations '' . Griffin also suggested Geveden was his right-hand man , saying '' ... if you get a decision from Rex , it 's the agency 's decision . ''   Geveden 's first job out of college was at Teledyne Brown Engineering ( where he later became President ) . After a few years at Teledyne Brown , Geveden joined NASA in 1990 , and worked on hardware design for a number of science satellite missions , including as project manager for the Optical Transient Detector satellite , the Lightning Imaging Sensor satellite , and the Gravity Probe B satellite , a successful test of frame dragging effects predicted by General Relativity . He was promoted to deputy director of the science directorate at Marshall Space Flight Center , then in 2003 to Deputy Director of Marshall Space Flight Center . In November 2004 , he was promoted again to become chief engineer of NASA , simultaneously with a major expansion of that office 's responsibilities , in the wake of the report of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board . Only seven months later , in the first weeks of Mike Griffin 's administration in June 2005 , Griffin made Geveden his acting associate administrator until the post was officially created .   Geveden is a native of Mayfield , Kentucky and a graduate of Lowes High School . He is married to Gail Geveden , and they have two children , Bridget and Jake . He received a bachelor 's degree in engineering physics and master 's degrees in physics in 1983 and 1984 respectively , both from Murray State University in Kentucky . Geveden also graduated from the Program Management School at the Defense Systems Management College .   Geveden announced his plans to leave NASA at the end of July 2007 to become president of Teledyne Brown Engineering in Huntsville , Alabama . Mike Griffin praised Geveden on his departure saying he `` possesses one of the most agile minds I have encountered '' . Geveden was replaced as Associate Administrator of NASA by Christopher Scolese . In 2014 , Teledyne announced the promotion of Geveden to President of Teledyne Dalsa following the retirement of DALSA 's CEO , in addition to his role as Executive Vice President of Teledyne Technologies .

Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on targeted variables in an established systematic fashion , which then enables one to answer relevant questions and evaluate outcomes . Data collection is a component of research in all fields of study including physical and social sciences , humanities , and business . While methods vary by discipline , the emphasis on ensuring accurate and honest collection remains the same . The goal for all data collection is to capture quality evidence that allows analysis to lead to the formulation of convincing and credible answers to the questions that have been posed .

LRGB , short for Luminance , Red , Green and Blue , is a photographic technique used in amateur astronomy for producing good quality color photographs by combining a high-quality black-and-white image with a lower-quality color image .   In amateur astronomy , it is easier and cheaper to obtain good quality , high signal-to-noise ratio images in black and white . The LRGB method is used to work around this to get good color images . The color information from the color image is combined with the overall brightness from the black-and-white image .   The theory behind the effectiveness behind LRGB techniques has been related to the way humans see color . The rods in human eyes are sensitive to luminance and spatial data , while the cones are sensitive to color . There are three types of cones : those sensitive to red , those sensitive to green , and those sensitive to blue . Thus , each element of LRGB targets one type of photoreceptor cell in the human eye .

The radial velocity of an object with respect to a given point is the rate of change of the distance between the object and the point . That is , the radial velocity is the component of the object 's velocity that points in the direction of the radius connecting the object and the point . In astronomy , the point is usually taken to be the observer on Earth , so the radial velocity then denotes the speed with which the object moves away from or approaches the Earth .   In astronomy , radial velocity is often measured to the first order of approximation by Doppler spectroscopy . The quantity obtained by this method may be called the barycentric radial-velocity measure or spectroscopic radial velocity . However , due to relativistic and cosmological effects over the great distances that light typically travels to reach the observer from an astronomical object , this measure can not be accurately transformed to a geometric radial velocity without additional assumptions about the object and the space between it and the observer . By contrast , astrometric radial velocity is determined by astrometric observations ( for example , a secular change in the annual parallax ) .

Radiocommunication service is according to Article 1.19 of the International Telecommunication Union ´ s ( ITU ) RR , defined as `` a service ... involving the transmission , emission and/or reception of radio waves for specific telecommunication purposes '' .   Radiocommunication is sub-divided into space and terrestrial radiocommunication . Space radiocommunication is defined in RR Article 1 as `` any radiocommunication involving the use of one or more space stations or the use of one or more reflecting satellites or other objects in space '' . Terrestrial radiocommunication is defined as `` any radiocommunication other than space radiocommunication or radio astronomy '' .

Recessional velocity is the rate at which an astronomical object is moving away , typically from Earth . It can be measured by shifts in spectral lines or estimated by general reddening of a galactic spectra .   Galaxies outside our galaxy often have their recessional velocity calculated relative to the cosmic microwave background .

Satellite gravimetry missions employ advanced technology to estimate the mass of landforms below by sensing subtle variations in gravitational pull when satellites traverse above. Launched via rockets like the Delta II, these operations can last several years, collecting crucial data essential for understanding terrestrial dynamics. Their objective involves measuring minute fluctuations in gravity induced by different masses across landscapes—mountains, valleys, oceans—to create detailed maps reflecting underlying density distributions.
One notable instance is the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) project initiated collaboratively by NASA and ESA. GRACE-FO succeeded earlier endeavors focusing specifically on monitoring shifts linked closely to water storage levels globally but has since expanded capabilities encompassing broader aspects concerning solid earth sciences too. Through precise tracking methods involving laser ranging interferometry alongside microwave telemetry techniques applied among twin spacecraft orbiting synchronously around us; researchers now gain insights into how varying densities correlate directly back onto specific geographical features down there upon mother nature herself!
By analyzing comprehensive datasets gathered periodically throughout extended periods spanning multiple seasons—even decades under certain circumstances—it becomes possible discern trends indicative either steady-state equilibrium conditions prevailing locally OR anomalous deviations signaling potentially significant events unfolding elsewhere nearby instead! These findings contribute immensely towards advancing knowledge regarding fundamental physical laws governing interactions amongst celestial bodies occupying vast expanses beyond low-Earth orbits while simultaneously enhancing predictive modeling capacities pertaining future scenarios likely encountered ahead along humanity’s ongoing journey exploring frontiers unknown yet beckoning still...

A radio acoustic sounding system ( RASS ) is a system for measuring the atmospheric lapse rate using backscattering of radio waves from an acoustic wave front to measure the speed of sound at various heights above the ground . This is possible because the compression and rarefaction of air by an acoustic wave changes the dielectric properties , producing partial reflection of the transmitted radar signal .  From the speed of sound , the temperature of the air in the planetary boundary layer can be computed .  The maximum altitude range of RASS systems is typically 750 meters , although observations have been reported up to 1.2 km in moist air .

Reclaimed or recycled water ( also called wastewater reuse or water reclamation ) is the process of converting wastewater into water that can be reused for other purposes . Reuse may include irrigation of gardens and agricultural fields or replenishing surface water and groundwater ( i.e. , groundwater recharge ) . Reused water may also be directed toward fulfilling certain needs in residences ( e.g. toilet flushing ) , businesses , and industry , and could even be treated to reach drinking water standards . This last option is called either `` direct potable reuse '' or `` indirect potable '' reuse , depending on the approach used . Colloquially , the term `` toilet to tap '' also refers to potable reuse .   Reclaiming water for reuse applications instead of using freshwater supplies can be a water-saving measure . When used water is eventually discharged back into natural water sources , it can still have benefits to ecosystems , improving streamflow , nourishing plant life and recharging aquifers , as part of the natural water cycle .   Wastewater reuse is a long-established practice used for irrigation , especially in arid countries . Reusing wastewater as part of sustainable water management allows water to remain as an alternative water source for human activities . This can reduce demand and alleviate pressures on groundwater and other natural water bodies .

Real estate development , or property development , is a multifaceted business process , encompassing activities that range from the renovation and re-lease of existing buildings to the purchase of raw land and the sale of developed land or parcels to others . Real estate developers are the people and companies who coordinate all of these activities , converting ideas from paper to real property . Real estate development is different from construction , although many developers also manage the construction process .   Developers buy land , finance real estate deals , build or have builders build projects , create , imagine , control and orchestrate the process of development from the beginning to end . Developers usually take the greatest risk in the creation or renovation of real estate -- and receive the greatest rewards . Typically , developers purchase a tract of land , determine the marketing of the property , develop the building program and design , obtain the necessary public approval and financing , build the structures , and rent out , manage , and ultimately sell it .   Sometimes property developers will only undertake part of the process . For example , some developers source a property and get the plans and permits approved before selling the property with the plans and permits to a builder at a premium price . Alternatively , a developer that is also a builder may purchase a property with the plans and permits in place so that they do not have the risk of failing to obtain planning approval and can start construction on the development immediately .   Developers work with many different counterparts along each step of this process , including architects , city planners , engineers , surveyors , inspectors , contractors , lawyers , leasing agents , etc. . In the Town and Country Planning context in the United Kingdom , ` development ' is defined in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 s55 .

Label-free quantification is a method in mass spectrometry that aims to determine the relative amount of proteins in two or more biological samples . Unlike other methods for protein quantification , label-free quantification does not use a stable isotope containing compound to chemically bind to and thus label the protein .

Regional geology is the geological study of large-scale regions . Usually , it encompasses multiple geological disciplines to piece together the history of an area . It is the geologic equivalent of regional geography . The size and the borders of each region are defined by geologically significant boundaries and by the occurrence of geologic processes . Examples of geologically significant boundaries are the interfingering facies change in sedimentary deposits when discussing a sedimentary basin system , or the leading or boundary thrust of an orogen .

Relief is a sculptural technique where the sculpted elements remain attached to a solid background of the same material . The term relief is from the Latin verb relevo , to raise . To create a sculpture in relief is to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background plane . What is actually performed when a relief is cut in from a flat surface of stone ( relief sculpture ) or wood ( relief carving ) is a lowering of the field , leaving the unsculpted parts seemingly raised . The technique involves considerable chiselling away of the background , which is a time-consuming exercise . On the other hand , a relief saves forming the rear of a subject , and is less fragile and more securely fixed than a sculpture in the round , especially one of a standing figure where the ankles are a potential weak point , especially in stone . In other materials such as metal , clay , plaster stucco , ceramics or papier-mâché the form can be just added to or raised up from the background , and monumental bronze reliefs are made by casting .   There are different degrees of relief depending on the degree of projection of the sculpted form from the field , for which the Italian appellations are still sometimes used . The full range includes high relief ( alto-rilievo , haut-relief ) , where more than 50 % of the depth is shown and there may be undercut areas , mid-relief ( mezzo-rilievo ) , low-relief ( basso-rilievo , or French : bas-relief -LSB- ˌbɑːrɪˈliːf -RSB- ) , and shallow-relief or rilievo schiacciato , where the plane is only very slightly lower than the sculpted elements . There is also sunk relief , which was mainly restricted to Ancient Egypt ( see below ) . However the distinction between high relief and low relief is the clearest and most important , and these two are generally the only terms used to discuss most work .   The definition of these terms is somewhat variable , and many works combine areas in more than one of them , sometimes sliding between them in a single figure ; accordingly some writers prefer to avoid all distinctions . The opposite of relief sculpture is counter-relief , intaglio , or cavo-rilievo , where the form is cut into the field or background rather than rising from it ; this is very rare in monumental sculpture . Hyphens may or may not be used in all these terms , though they are rarely seen in `` sunk relief '' and are usual in `` bas-relief '' and `` counter-relief '' . Works in the technique are described as `` in relief '' , and , especially in monumental sculpture , the work itself is `` a relief '' .   Reliefs are common throughout the world on the walls of buildings and a variety of smaller settings , and a sequence of several panels or sections of relief may represent an extended narrative . Relief is more suitable for depicting complicated subjects with many figures and very active poses , such as battles , than free-standing `` sculpture in the round '' . Most ancient architectural reliefs were originally painted , which helped to define forms in low relief . The subject of reliefs is for convenient reference assumed in this article to be usually figures , but sculpture in relief often depicts decorative geometrical or foliage patterns , as in the arabesques of Islamic art , and may be of any subject .   Rock reliefs are those carved into solid rock in the open air ( if inside caves , whether natural or man-made , they are more likely to be called `` rock-cut '' ) . This type is found in many cultures , in particular those of the Ancient Near East and Buddhist countries . A stele is a single standing stone ; many of these carry reliefs .

The Laussedat Heights are a series of elevations extending eastward for 8 nmi in the southwest part of Arctowski Peninsula , on the west coast of Graham Land , Antarctica . They were mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956 -- 57 , and were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Aimé Laussedat ( 1819 -- 1907 ) , a French military engineer , and the `` father of photogrammetry , '' who pioneered the application of photography to survey from about 1851 onward .

Much of the Martian surface is covered with a thick ice-rich , mantle layer that has fallen from the sky a number of times in the past . In some places a number of layers are visible in the mantle .   It fell as snow and ice-coated dust . There is good evidence that this mantle is ice-rich . The shapes of the polygons common on many surfaces suggest ice-rich soil . High levels of hydrogen ( probably from water ) have been found with Mars Odyssey . Thermal measurements from orbit suggest ice . The Phoenix ( spacecraft ) discovered water ice with made direct observations since it landed in a field of polygons . In fact , its landing rockets exposed pure ice . Theory had predicted that ice would be found under a few cm of soil . This mantle layer is called `` latitude dependent mantle '' because its occurrence is related to the latitude . It is this mantle that cracks and then forms polygonal ground . This cracking of ice-rich ground is predicted based on physical processes .  Another type of surface is called `` brain terrain '' as it looks like the surface of a human brain . Brain terrain lies under polygonal ground when the two are both visible in a region .   Since the top , polygon layer is fairly smooth although the underlying brain terrain is irregular ; it is believed that the mantle layer that contains the polygons needs to be 10 -- 20 meters thick to smooth out the irregularities . The mantle layer lasts for a very long time before all the ice is gone because a protective lag deposit forms on the top . The mantle contains ice and dust . After a certain amount of ice disappears from sublimation the dust stays on the top , forming the lag deposit .   The total amount of water locked up in the mantle has been calculated based on the total area of polygonal ground and an estimated depth of 10 meters . This volume is equal to a layer 2.5 meters deep spread over the entire planet . This compares to a 30-meter depth over the whole planet for the water locked up in the north and south polar caps .   Mantle forms when the Martian climate is different than the present climate . The tilt or obliquity of the axis of the planet changes a great deal . The Earth 's tilt changes little because our rather large moon stabilizes the Earth . Mars only has two very small moons that do not possess enough gravity to stabilize its tilt . When the tilt of Mars exceeds around 40 degrees ( from today 's 25 degrees ) , ice is deposited in certain latitude bands where much mantle exists today .

Land recycling is the reuse of abandoned , vacant , or underused properties for redevelopment or repurposing .   Land recycling aims to ensure the reuse of developed land as part of : new developments ; cleaning up contaminated properties ; reuse and/or making use of used land surrounded by development or nearby infrastructure . End-uses from land recycling may include : mixed-use , residential , commercial , or industrial developments ; and/or public open space such as urban open space use by urban parks , community gardens ; or larger open space reserves such as regional parks .   Since many abandoned and underutilized properties lie within economically distressed and disadvantaged communities , land recycling often benefits and stimulates re-investment in historically under-served areas . The real or perceived presence of xenobiotic hazardous substances from historical previous uses or in situ land pollution , causing soil contamination and groundwater pollution , may complicate the redevelopment of such properties . Such environmentally distressed properties , with site cleanup and mitigation considerations , are commonly referred to as brownfields .
