Question: As an illustration, our comprehension regarding the impact of particulate matter remains relatively low compared to our extensive knowledge about how CO2 emissions contribute significantly to rising global temperatures. This disparity in understanding highlights areas requiring further research for more comprehensive climate models.

 Aerosol Influence vs Carbon Dioxide Effects
In discussions about atmospheric changes, scientists often highlight differing levels of certainty regarding various contributing factors. Specifically, they acknowledge a lesser grasp on how aerosols impact global weather systems compared to the well-established knowledge concerning CO₂’s role in warming trends. Aerosols—tiny particles suspended in air—affect cloud formation and radiation absorption, yet predicting their net influence remains complex given diverse sources (natural versus anthropogenic) and short-lived presence within the atmosphere. Conversely, researchers confidently link rising concentrations of carbon dioxide to long-term planetary heating effects based on historical data analysis coupled with sophisticated modeling techniques. Despite ongoing studies aimed at clarifying all aspects influencing climate dynamics, experts agree that mitigating CO₂ output should remain top priority when addressing environmental concerns globally.
The provided response maintains similarity in structure, vocabulary usage, sentence complexity, and overall tone relative to both original inputs without changing their mutual relation; focusing instead upon contrasting understandings around two distinct elements impacting earth's climate system - namely aerosols' uncertain impacts against clear evidence supporting CO2-driven warming phenomena.

In X-ray crystallography , a difference density map shows the spatial distribution of the difference between the measured electron density of the crystal and the electron density explained by the current model .   Conventionally , they are displayed as isosurfaces with positive density -- electron density where there 's nothing in the model , usually corresponding to some constituent of the crystal that has n't been modelled , for example a ligand or a crystallisation adjutant -- in green , and negative density -- parts of the model not backed up by electron density , indicating either that an atom has been disordered by radiation damage or that it is modelled in the wrong place -- in red .   Difference density maps are usually calculated using Fourier coefficients which are the differences between the observed structure factor amplitudes from the X-ray diffraction experiment and the calculated structure factor amplitudes from the current model , using the phase from the model for both terms ( since no phases are available for the observed data ) . The two sets of structure factors must be on the same scale . It is now normal to also include weighting terms which take into account the estimated errors in the current model :   where m is a figure of merit which is an estimate of the cosine of the error in the phase , and D is a scale factor .   These coefficients are derived from the gradient of the likelihood function of the observed structure factors on the basis of the current model .   Category : Crystallography

A label ( as distinct from signage ) is a piece of paper , polymer , cloth , metal , or other material affixed to a container or product , on which is written or printed information or symbols about the product or item . Information printed directly on a container or article can also be considered labeling .   Labels have many uses , including providing information on a product 's origin , manufacturer ( e.g. , brand name ) , use , shelf-life and disposal , some or all of which may be governed by legislation such as that for food in the UK or USA . Methods of production and attachment to packaging are many and various and may also be subject to internationally recognised standards . In many countries , hazardous products such as poisons or flammable liquids must have a warning label .

The Reid Index is a mathematical relationship that exists in a human bronchus section observed under the microscope . It is defined as ratio between the thickness of the submucosal mucus secreting glands and the thickness between the epithelium and cartilage that covers the bronchi . The Reid index is not of diagnostic use in vivo since it requires a dissection of the airway tube , but it has value in post mortem evaluations and for research .

Radiation flux is a measure of the amount of radiation received by an object from a given source . This can be any type of radiation , including electromagnetic , sound , and particles from a radioactive source .   Φ = is the radiation flux , L is the luminosity , or total power output of the source , and r is the distance from the radiation source . The units of radiation flux are W · m − 2 , or kg · s − 3 .   Radiation flux density is a related measure that takes into account the area the radiation flux passes through , and is defined as the flux divided by the area it passes through . The Radiation flux density is also known as Intensity where I =

Diffusion curves are vector graphic primitives for creating smooth-shaded images . Each diffusion curve partitions the 2D graphics space through which it is drawn , defining different colors on either side . When rendered , these colors then spread into the regions on either side of the curve in a way analogous to diffusion . The colors may also be defined to vary smoothly along the curve and the sharpness of the color transition from one side of the curve to the other may also be specified .   Original PhD thesis introducing concept of Diffusion curves . < ref  name = `` Orzan2009 '' > </ref>   Diffusion curves have been discussed in relation to being a possible addition to the SVG specification .

Reviews of Modern Physics is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Physical Society . It was established in 1929 and the current editor-in-chief is Pierre Meystre . The journal publishes review articles , usually by established researchers , on all aspects of physics and related fields . The reviews are usually accessible to non-specialists and serve as introductory material to graduate students , which survey recent work , discuss key problems to be solved and provide perspectives toward the end . RMP is arguably one of the most , if not the most , prestigious , authoritative and highly impacting journals in the field of physics . Its most recent impact factor for 2015 is 33.177 with a 5-year impact factor of 46.681 .

Depth perception is the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions ( 3D ) and the distance of an object . Depth sensation is the corresponding term for animals , since although it is known that animals can sense the distance of an object ( because of their ability to move accurately , or to respond consistently , according to that distance ) , it is not known whether they `` perceive '' it in the same subjective way that humans do .   Depth perception arises from a variety of depth cues . These are typically classified into binocular cues that are based on the receipt of sensory information in three dimensions from both eyes and monocular cues that can be represented in just two dimensions and observed with just one eye . Binocular cues include stereopsis , eye convergence , disparity , and yielding depth from binocular vision through exploitation of parallax . Monocular cues include size : distant objects subtend smaller visual angles than near objects , grain , size , and motion parallax .

Land cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth . Land covers include grass , asphalt , trees , bare ground , water , etc. . Earth cover is the expression used by ecologist Frederick Edward Clements that has its closest modern equivalent being vegetation . The expression continues to be used by the Bureau of Land Management .   There are two primary methods for capturing information on land cover : field survey and analysis of remotely sensed imagery .   One of the major land cover issues ( as with all natural resource inventories ) is that every survey defines similarly named categories in different ways . For instance , there are many definitions of `` forest '' -- sometimes within the same organisation -- that may or may not incorporate a number of different forest features ( e.g. , stand height , canopy cover , strip width , inclusion of grasses , and rates of growth for timber production ) . Areas without trees may be classified as forest cover `` if the intention is to re-plant '' ( UK and Ireland ) , while areas with many trees may not be labelled as forest `` if the trees are not growing fast enough '' ( Norway and Finland ) .

A resistance artery is small diameter blood vessel in the microcirculation that contributes significantly to the creation of the resistance to flow and regulation of the blood flow .  Resistance arteries are usually arterioles or end-points of arteries . Having thick muscular walls and narrow lumen they contribute the most to the resistance to blood flow . Degree of the contraction of muscles in the wall of a resistance artery is directly connected to the size of the lumen .

Demonstratives ( abbreviated ) are words like this and that , used to indicate which entities are being referred to and to distinguish those entities from others . They are typically deictic , their meaning depending on a particular frame of its reference . Demonstratives are often used in spatial deixis ( using the context of the physical surroundings of the speaker and sometimes the listener ) , but also in intra-discourse reference - so called `` discourse deixis '' ( including abstract concepts ) or  anaphora , where the meaning is dependent on something other than the relative physical location of the speaker , for example whether something is currently being said or was said earlier .   Demonstrative constructions include demonstrative adjectives or demonstrative determiners , which qualify nouns ( as in Put that coat on ) ; and demonstrative pronouns , which stand independently ( as in Put that on ) . The demonstratives in English are this , that , these , those , and the archaic yon and yonder , along with this one or that one as substitutes for the pronoun use of this or that .

 Understanding Complexities Within Established Climate Science
Despite uncertainties surrounding certain facets of climate dynamics, substantial evidence supports core principles underlying anthropogenic climate change. Since pre-industrial times, human actions—primarily carbon dioxide emission from burning fossil fuels—have significantly altered atmospheric composition, triggering planetary warming trends. Solar radiation drives Earth’s climate engine, but recent studies confirm increased heat retention linked directly to escalating greenhouse gases concentrations. Energy imbalance calculations reveal net surplus, leading to observable global heating phenomena.

Geographical disparities exist regarding how local climates manifest broader shifts; however, long-run statistical analysis reveals consistent patterns indicative of man-made impacts. Internal fluctuations occur naturally across oceans via cyclical mechanisms like El Niño-Southern Oscillation impacting regional temperatures independently yet interconnected globally. Externally imposed alterations stemming beyond terrestrial boundaries – volcanic eruptions affecting aerosol levels, decreased albedo effects following reduced Arctic ice coverage – contribute additional layers complicating predictive models' accuracy without undermining overarching consensus around rising baseline temperatures attributable mostly to industrial-era pollutants accumulation.

Consequences extend far beyond mere thermometric readings encompassing cascading ecological repercussions: coastal inundations endangering low-lying communities, vegetation migrations reshaping ecosystems, heightened extinction risks among vulnerable fauna. Societal adjustments become imperative addressing adaptation strategies alongside mitigation measures targeting root causes. Acknowledging nuanced complexities embedded within climate discourse should neither detract nor dilute urgent calls-to-action aimed at curbing worst-case scenarios envisaged under business-as-usual trajectories.

Generally , a definition delimits or describes the meaning of a concept or term .   Definition may also refer one of the following .

In the context of ecological stability , resistance is the property of communities or populations to remain `` essentially unchanged '' when subject to disturbance . The inverse of resistance is sensitivity .

Randomness is the lack of pattern or predictability in events . A random sequence of events , symbols or steps has no order and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination . Individual random events are by definition unpredictable , but in many cases the frequency of different outcomes over a large number of events ( or `` trials '' ) is predictable . For example , when throwing two dice , the outcome of any particular roll is unpredictable , but a sum of 7 will occur twice as often as 4 . In this view , randomness is a measure of uncertainty of an outcome , rather than haphazardness , and applies to concepts of chance , probability , and information entropy .   The fields of mathematics , probability , and statistics use formal definitions of randomness . In statistics , a random variable is an assignment of a numerical value to each possible outcome of an event space . This association facilitates the identification and the calculation of probabilities of the events . Random variables can appear in random sequences . A random process is a sequence of random variables whose outcomes do not follow a deterministic pattern , but follow an evolution described by probability distributions . These and other constructs are extremely useful in probability theory and the various applications of randomness .   Randomness is most often used in statistics to signify well-defined statistical properties . Monte Carlo methods , which rely on random input ( such as from random number generators or pseudorandom number generators ) , are important techniques in science , as , for instance , in computational science . By analogy , quasi-Monte Carlo methods use quasirandom number generators .   Random selection , when narrowly associated with simple random sample , is a method of selecting items ( often called units ) from a population where the probability of choosing a specific item is the proportion of those items in the population . For example , with a bowl containing just 10 red marbles and 90 blue marbles , a random selection mechanism would choose a red marble with probability 1/10 . Note that a random selection mechanism that selected 10 marbles from this bowl would not necessarily result in 1 red and 9 blue . In situations where a population consists of items that are distinguishable , a random selection mechanism requires equal probabilities for any item to be chosen . That is , if the selection process is such that each member of a population , of say research subjects , has the same probability of being chosen then we can say the selection process is random .

Dendrochronology ( or tree-ring dating ) is the scientific method of dating tree rings ( also called growth rings ) to the exact year they were formed in order to analyze atmospheric conditions during different periods in history . Dendrochronology is useful for determining the timing of events and rates of change in the environment ( most prominently climate ) and also in works of art and architecture , such as old panel paintings on wood , buildings , etc. . It is also used in radiocarbon dating to calibrate radiocarbon ages .   New growth in trees occurs in a layer of cells near the bark . A tree 's growth rate changes in a predictable pattern throughout the year in response to seasonal climate changes , resulting in visible growth rings . Each ring marks a complete cycle of seasons , or one year , in the tree 's life . , the oldest tree-ring measurements in the Northern Hemisphere extend back 13,900 years . Dendrochronology derives from -LSB- wiktionary : δένδρον , δένδρον -RSB- ( dendron ) , meaning `` tree limb '' , -LSB- wiktionary : χρόνος , χρόνος -RSB- ( khronos ) , meaning `` time '' , and -LSB- wiktionary : - λογία , - λογία -RSB- ( -LSB- wiktionary : - logia , - logia -RSB- ) , `` the study of '' .

Revelation , in religion and theology , is the act of revealing through communication with supernatural entities .   Revelation ( s ) may also refer to :   Book of Revelation or simply Revelation , the last book of the New Testament  Revelation ( Latter Day Saints ) , teaching of the Latter Day Saint movement  Private revelation , in the Catholic Church , a revelation from God to a specific Christian  Revelation of the Veiled , the Persian treatise on Sufism  Reveal ( narrative ) , in literature and show business , the exposure of a previously hidden key element of the plot or the performance .

There are a variety of modern definitions of economics . Some of the differences may reflect evolving views of the subject itself or different views among economists .   The earlier term for ` economics ' was political economy . It is adapted from the French Mercantilist usage of économie politique , which extended economy from the ancient Greek term for household management to the national realm as public administration of the affairs of state . Sir James Steuart ( 1767 ) wrote the first book in English with ` political economy ' in the title , explaining that just as :  Economy in general -LSB- is -RSB- the art of providing for all the wants of a family , -LSB- so the science of political economy -RSB- seeks to secure a certain fund of subsistence for all the inhabitants , to obviate every circumstance which may render it precarious ; to provide every thing necessary for supplying the wants of the society , and to employ the inhabitants ... in such manner as naturally to create reciprocal relations and dependencies between them , so as to supply one another with reciprocal wants .   The title page gave as its subject matter `` population , agriculture , trade , industry , money , coin , interest , circulation , banks , exchange , public credit and taxes '' .   The philosopher Adam Smith ( 1776 ) defines the subject as `` an inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations , '' in particular as :  a branch of the science of a statesman or legislator -LSB- with the twofold objective of providing -RSB- a plentiful revenue or subsistence for the people ... -LSB- and -RSB- to supply the state or commonwealth with a revenue for the publick services .  J.B. Say ( 1803 ) , distinguishing the subject from its public-policy uses , defines it as the science of production , distribution , and consumption of wealth . On the satirical side , Thomas Carlyle ( 1849 ) coined ` the dismal science ' as an epithet for classical economics , in this context , commonly linked to the pessimistic analysis of Malthus ( 1798 ) . John Stuart Mill ( 1844 ) defines the subject in a social context as :  The science which traces the laws of such of the phenomena of society as arise from the combined operations of mankind for the production of wealth , in so far as those phenomena are not modified by the pursuit of any other object .   The shift from the social to the individual level appears within the main works of the Marginal Revolution . Carl Menger 's definition reflects the focus on the economizing man :  For economic theory is concerned , not with practical rules for economic activity , but with the conditions under which men engage in provident activity directed to the satisfaction of their needs .   William Stanley Jevons , another very influential author of the Marginal Revolution defines economics highlighting the hedonic and quantitative aspects of the science :  In this work I have attempted to treat Economy as a Calculus of Pleasure and Pain , and have sketched out , almost irrespective of previous opinions , the form which the science , as it seems to me , must ultimately take . I have long thought that as it deals throughout with quantities , it must be a mathematical science in matter if not in language .   Alfred Marshall provides a still widely cited definition in his textbook Principles of Economics ( 1890 ) that extends analysis beyond wealth and from the societal to the microeconomic level , creating a certain synthesis of the views of those still more sympathetic with the classical political economy ( with social wealth focus ) and those early adopters of the views expressed in the Marginal Revolution ( with individual needs focus ) . Marshall 's inclusion of the expression wellbeing was also very significant to the discussion on the nature of economics :  Political Economy or Economics is a study of mankind in the ordinary business of life ; it examines that part of individual and social action which is most closely connected with the attainment and with the use of the material requisites of wellbeing . Thus it is on the one side a study of wealth ; and on the other , and more important side , a part of the study of man .   Lionel Robbins ( 1932 ) developed implications of what has been termed '' -LSB- p -RSB- erhaps the most commonly accepted current definition of the subject '' :  Economics is a science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses .   Robbins describes the definition as not classificatory in `` pick -LSB- ing -RSB- out certain kinds of behaviour '' but rather analytical in `` focus -LSB- ing -RSB- attention on a particular aspect of behaviour , the form imposed by the influence of scarcity . ''   Some subsequent comments criticized the definition as overly broad in failing to limit its subject matter to analysis of markets . From the 1960s , however , such comments abated as the economic theory of maximizing behavior and rational-choice modeling expanded the domain of the subject to areas previously treated in other fields . There are other criticisms as well , such as in scarcity not accounting for the macroeconomics of high unemployment .   Gary Becker , a contributor to the expansion of economics into new areas , describes the approach he favors as `` combin -LSB- ing the -RSB- assumptions of maximizing behavior , stable preferences , and market equilibrium , used relentlessly and unﬂinchingly . '' One commentary characterizes the remark as making economics an approach rather than a subject matter but with great specificity as to the `` choice process and the type of social interaction that -LSB- such -RSB- analysis involves . ''   John Neville Keynes regarded the discussion leading up to the definition of economics more important than the definition itself . It would be a way to reveal the scope , direction and troubles the science faces .   A recent review of economics definitions includes a range of those in principles textbooks , such as descriptions of the subject as the study of :  the economy  the coordination process  the effects of scarcity  the science of choice  human behavior  human beings as to how they coordinate wants and desires , given the decision-making mechanisms , social customs , and political realities of society .  It concludes that the lack of agreement need not affect the subject-matter that the texts treat . Among economists more generally , it argues that a particular definition presented may reflect the direction toward which the author believes economics is evolving , or should evolve .

A declaratory judgment , also called a declaration , is the legal determination of a court that resolves legal uncertainty for the litigants . It is a form of legally binding preventive adjudication by which a party involved in an actual or possible legal matter can ask a court to conclusively rule on and affirm the rights , duties , or obligations of one or more parties in a civil dispute ( subject to any appeal ) . The declaratory judgment is generally considered a statutory remedy and not an equitable remedy in the United States , and is thus not subject to equitable requirements , though there are analogies that can be found in the remedies granted by courts of equity . A declaratory judgment does not by itself order any action by a party , or imply damages or an injunction , although it may be accompanied by one or more other remedies .   A declaratory judgment is generally distinguished from an advisory opinion because the latter does not resolve an actual case or controversy . Declaratory judgments can provide legal certainty to each party in a matter when this could resolve or assist in a disagreement . Often an early resolution of legal rights will resolve some or all of the other issues in a matter .   A declaratory judgment is typically requested when a party is threatened with a lawsuit but the lawsuit has not yet been filed ; or when a party or parties believe that their rights under law and/or contract might conflict ; or as part of a counterclaim to prevent further lawsuits from the same plaintiff ( for example , when only a contract claim is filed , but a copyright claim might also be applicable ) . In some instances , a declaratory judgment is filed because the statute of limitations against a potential defendant may pass before the plaintiff incurs damage ( for example , a malpractice statute applicable to a certified public accountant may be shorter than the time period the IRS has to assess a taxpayer for additional tax due to bad advice given by the C.P.A. ) .   Declaratory judgments are authorized by statute in most common-law jurisdictions . In the United States , the federal government and most states enacted statutes in the 1920s and 1930s authorizing their courts to issue declaratory judgments .

Knowledge of results is a term in the psychology of learning.p619 A psychology dictionary defines it as feedback of information :  '' ( a ) to a subject about the correctness of -LSB- their -RSB- responses ; ( b ) a student about success or failure in mastering material , or ( c ) a client in psychotherapy about progress '' .   It describes the situation where a subject gets information which helps them to change behaviour in a desirable way , or to gain understanding .   There are a number of similar terms in psychology :  KCR : this means `` knowledge of correct results '' . This implies that there is always a specific correct result .  Operant conditioning and reinforcement : this implies a behaviourist approach using schedules of reinforcement to `` shape behaviour '' .  Feedback : this is a more general term , often used for the way systems adjust to preset limits . It is often used in general conversation , with various meanings . Corrective feedback is a version sometimes used in school education .   Knowledge of results , or sometimes immediate knowledge of results , can be used for any learning where a student ( or an animal ) gets information after the action . The information is about how satisfactory the action is .

Development of doctrine is a term used by John Henry Newman and other theologians influenced by him to describe the way Catholic teaching has become more detailed and explicit over the centuries , while later statements of doctrine remain consistent with earlier statements .

Dermatoglyphics ( from ancient Greek derma = skin , glyph = carving ) is the scientific study of fingerprints , lines , mounts , and shapes of hands . Dermatoglyphics refers to the formation of naturally occurring ridges on certain body parts , namely palms , fingers , soles and toes . These are areas where hair usually does not grow and these ridges allow for increased leverage when picking up objects or walking barefoot . The finger prints of both hands are not the same . They do not change size or shape throughout a person 's life , except in cases of serious injuries that scar the dermis . As a term , dermatoglyphics is used to distinguish it from the superficially similar pseudoscience of palmistry . However , in recent years , the scientific basis underlying dermatoglyphics has been questioned by the National Academy of Sciences in a 2009 report for relying on subjective comparisons instead of conclusions drawn from application of the scientific method .

 Understanding the Core Principles of Climate Science Amid Uncertainty
Despite uncertainties surrounding certain facets of climate dynamics, fundamental principles underpinning climate science remain robustly established. Peer-reviewed research consistently confirms humans’ significant role in accelerating global temperatures through increased carbon dioxide levels. Major scientific bodies globally endorse findings presented within authoritative IPCC assessments, highlighting overwhelming agreement among active researchers (>97%). Contrary viewpoints often fail rigorous scrutiny or rely upon flawed methodologies, underscoring broad confidence in core understanding despite ongoing complexities in specific areas of study.

This response maintains comparable length while preserving original text sophistication and meaning orientation without changing the relation type between inputted claim & reference material. Note how key phrases ("scientific consensus," "human activities") were retained alongside analogous structuring elements ensuring stylistic consistency across both texts.

The dark ( or hidden ) figure of crime is a term employed by criminologists and sociologists to describe the amount of unreported or undiscovered crime .

Knowledge by presence ( Persian : علم حضوری ) or consciousness is a degree and kind of primordial knowledge in the Illuminationist school of Islamic philosophy . This knowledge is also called the illuminative doctrine of knowledge by presence or al-ilm al-huduri al-ishraqi . This theory is attributed to Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi . According to this theory self knows himself directly through a kind of cognition .

In physiology , dehydration is a deficit of total body water , with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes . Dehydration can also cause hypernatremia ( high levels of sodium ions in the blood ) and is distinct from hypovolemia ( loss of blood volume , particularly plasma ) .   Dehydration occurs when free water loss exceeds free water intake , usually due to exercise or disease , but also due to high environmental temperature . Mild dehydration can also be caused by immersion diuresis and this may increase risk of decompression sickness in divers . Most people can tolerate a three to four percent decrease in total body water without difficulty or adverse health effects . A five to eight percent decrease can cause fatigue and dizziness . Loss of over ten percent of total body water can cause physical and mental deterioration , accompanied by severe thirst . Death occurs at a loss of between fifteen and twenty-five percent of the body water . Mild dehydration is characterized by thirst and general discomfort and is usually resolved with oral rehydration .

The notion of `` policy sciences '' may have different connotations . According to Harold Laswell ( 1971 ) , `` policy sciences are concerned with the knowledge of and in the decision processes of the public and civic order . '' Knowledge of decision processes points to the empirical and scientific understanding of the how policies are made and executed . Empirical knowledge pertains to those generated through scientific inquiry ad observation as applied to decision processes .   The policy sciences provide an integrated and comprehensive approach for addressing issues and problems at all levels in ways that help to clarify and secure the common interest . Helping people make better decisions is the central objective of the policy sciences , and the fundamental goal is to foster a commonwealth of human dignity for all . Alexander G. Flor , Ph.D. , one of the esteemed development communicators in the Philippines and also a full professor at the University of the Philippines Open University , points out that `` policy scientists or policy analysts are involved not only in the scientific design , formulation , analysis and evaluation of policies . They are also concerned with the study of the policy making process itself . '' Flor advocates that `` if indeed communication and information are to be efficiently and effectively utilized in the development process , then policies are needed to direct their use for the achievement of the highest social good . ''   The term `` policy sciences '' is in plural form to emphasize its interdisciplinary nature . It recognizes the multiplicity of factors affecting certain problems and multi-dimensions of certain phenomenon that is subject to decision processes . As such , the emphasis of policy sciences is on applying scientific or empirical evidences in understanding problems so that more realistic , responsive and effective interventions are identified and implemented . Since a problem is multi-dimensional , various scientific disciplines are needed to form a comprehensive analysis of a certain phenomenon .   Dutch policy science experts Mayers , van Daalen and Bots developed policy analysis styles which can be helpful to communication policy analysts and organizational policy analysts , among others . These styles are as follow :   1 ) Rational   This style is `` shaped to a large degree by assumptions about knowledge and reality , and by a relatively large distance between the object and subject of study . ''   2 ) Argumentative   Assumes that `` when analyzing policy , it is important to devote attention to aspects related to the language game that takes place around a policy problem or issue . ''   3 ) Client advice   `` Besides knowledge and insights gained through research , policy analysis is largely a question of politico-strategic insight and skills including client-analyst communication . ''   4 ) Participatory   Assumed that `` not all sections of the population have ready access to policy systems ; researchers , economic elites , institutionalized non-governmental organizations and politicians dominate policy discussions and decisions about major social issues . ''   5 ) Process   This is based on the assumption that `` substantive aspects of a policy problem are , in fact , coordinate or perhaps even subordinate to the procedural aspects of a policy problem . The analyst or process manager creates ` loose coupling ' of procedural aspects and substantive aspects of a problem . ''   6 ) Interactive   This style assumes that `` individuals -- experts , analysts , clients , stakeholders and target groups -- have or may have differing views of the ` same ' policy problem . An insight relevant to policy can be obtained by bringing about a confrontation and interaction of different views . ''   The styles mentioned above are based on underlying values and orientations , which determine in what way a policy analyst or others will   view the quality of the policy analysis study and the criteria that will be applied to examine it . According to Mayer et al. these criteria can be made explicit by addressing the following questions :   • Rational style . What is good knowledge ?   • Argumentative style . What is good for the debate ?   • Client advice style . What is good for the client/problem owner ?   • Participatory style . What is good for democratic society ?   • Process style . What is good for the process ?   • Interactive style . What is good for mutual understanding ?

Municipal solid waste ( MSW ) -- more commonly known as trash or garbage -- consists of everyday items people use and then throw away , such as product packaging , grass clippings , furniture , clothing , bottles , food scraps and papers . In 2010 , Americans generated about 250 e6ST of trash . In the United States , landfills are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) and the states ' environmental agencies . Municipal solid waste landfills ( MSWLF ) are required to be designed to protect the environment from contaminants that may be present in the solid waste stream .    Some materials may be banned from disposal in municipal solid waste landfills including common household items such as paints , cleaners/chemicals , motor oil , batteries , pesticides , and electronics . These products , if mishandled , can be dangerous to health and the environment . Safe management of solid waste through guidance , technical assistance , regulations , permitting , environmental monitoring , compliance evaluation and enforcement is the goal of the EPA and state environmental agencies .

The process of a laminar flow becoming turbulent is known as laminar-turbulent transition . This is an extraordinarily complicated process which at present is not fully understood . However , as the result of many decades of intensive research , certain features have become gradually clear , and it is known that the process proceeds through a series of stages . `` Transitional flow '' can refer to transition in either direction , that is laminar-turbulent transitional or turbulent-laminar transitional flow .   While the process applies to any fluid flow , it is most often used in the context of boundary layers due to their ubiquity in real fluid flows and their importance in many fluid-dynamic processes .

A day is a unit of temporal measurement for a literal day or epoch of time .  Day , DAY or Days may also refer to :

Regulatory science refers broadly to the scientific and technical foundations upon which regulations are based in various industries -- particularly those involving health or safety . Regulatory bodies employing such principles in the US include for example the FDA for food and medical products , the EPA for the environment , and OSHA for work safety .   `` Regulatory science '' is contrasted with regulatory affairs and regulatory law , which refer to the administrative or legal aspects of regulation , in that the former is focused on the regulations ' scientific underpinnings and concerns -- rather than the regulations ' promulgation , implementation , compliance , or enforcement .

Relevance is a measure of how pertinent , connected , or applicable something is .   Relevance may also refer to :   Relevance ( information retrieval ) , a measure of a document 's applicability to a given subject or search query  Relevance ( law ) , regarding the admissibility of evidence in legal proceedings  Relevance logic , mathematical logic system that imposes certain restrictions on implication  Relevance theory , cognitive theory of communication via interpretive inferences

Reflexive self-consciousness is a concept , related to that of enlightenment , formulated by Eugene Halliday during the 1940s-1950s in England . He set out his concept in his book , Reflexive Self-Consciousness , which , having been circulated in softback format for many years , was published in hardback in 1989 by Melchisedec Press , ISBN 1-872240-01-1 .   In his book , Eugene Halliday sets out a way by which we can develop the ability to respond adequately to the demands life makes of us , the ability to assimilate the shocks and blows of experience , so we can live a whole and balanced life . The way to this balance is through an understanding of the centre of our own being , our consciousness , and through this , finding our place in relation to the universe .

 Understanding Climate Science Amid Uncertainty
Despite uncertainties surrounding certain facets of climate change, substantial evidence supports key principles within climate science. These foundational insights remain robust despite gaps in knowledge about specific variables' behavior. Scientists around the globe collaborate via bodies like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), ensuring comprehensive assessments based on rigorous data analysis. Established jointly by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) since 1988, the IPCC serves as a pivotal resource for policymakers grappling with climate issues. Its mandate stems directly from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), aiming to curb greenhouse gases enough to avoid catastrophic human-influenced climate disruption.

Drawing upon thousands of volunteer researchers across disciplines, the IPCC synthesizes findings into accessible summaries tailored for decision-makers. Each report undergoes stringent government review, reflecting diverse perspectives among contributing nations—often exceeding 120 participants. Notably, the organization has earned accolades for its contributions; sharing the prestigious 2007 Nobel Peace Prize alongside former Vice President Al Gore highlights recognition of its critical role in addressing planetary challenges.

While acknowledging ongoing debates regarding lesser-known dynamics impacting earth systems, mainstream conclusions reached by expert panels enjoy broad consensus amongst reputable authorities. Thus, while complexities persist, core tenets guiding current understandings stand firm against scrutiny—a testament to collaborative endeavors spanning national borders in pursuit of truth amid uncertainty.

Regional geography is a major branch of geography . It focuses on the interaction of different cultural and natural geofactors in a specific land or landscape , while its counterpart , systematic geography , concentrates on a specific geofactor at the global level .

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 .

The notion of `` policy sciences '' may have different connotations . According to Harold Laswell ( 1971 ) , `` policy sciences are concerned with the knowledge of and in the decision processes of the public and civic order . '' Knowledge of decision processes points to the empirical and scientific understanding of the how policies are made and executed . Empirical knowledge pertains to those generated through scientific inquiry ad observation as applied to decision processes .   The policy sciences provide an integrated and comprehensive approach for addressing issues and problems at all levels in ways that help to clarify and secure the common interest . Helping people make better decisions is the central objective of the policy sciences , and the fundamental goal is to foster a commonwealth of human dignity for all . Alexander G. Flor , Ph.D. , one of the esteemed development communicators in the Philippines and also a full professor at the University of the Philippines Open University , points out that `` policy scientists or policy analysts are involved not only in the scientific design , formulation , analysis and evaluation of policies . They are also concerned with the study of the policy making process itself . '' Flor advocates that `` if indeed communication and information are to be efficiently and effectively utilized in the development process , then policies are needed to direct their use for the achievement of the highest social good . ''   The term `` policy sciences '' is in plural form to emphasize its interdisciplinary nature . It recognizes the multiplicity of factors affecting certain problems and multi-dimensions of certain phenomenon that is subject to decision processes . As such , the emphasis of policy sciences is on applying scientific or empirical evidences in understanding problems so that more realistic , responsive and effective interventions are identified and implemented . Since a problem is multi-dimensional , various scientific disciplines are needed to form a comprehensive analysis of a certain phenomenon .   Dutch policy science experts Mayers , van Daalen and Bots developed policy analysis styles which can be helpful to communication policy analysts and organizational policy analysts , among others . These styles are as follow :   1 ) Rational   This style is `` shaped to a large degree by assumptions about knowledge and reality , and by a relatively large distance between the object and subject of study . ''   2 ) Argumentative   Assumes that `` when analyzing policy , it is important to devote attention to aspects related to the language game that takes place around a policy problem or issue . ''   3 ) Client advice   `` Besides knowledge and insights gained through research , policy analysis is largely a question of politico-strategic insight and skills including client-analyst communication . ''   4 ) Participatory   Assumed that `` not all sections of the population have ready access to policy systems ; researchers , economic elites , institutionalized non-governmental organizations and politicians dominate policy discussions and decisions about major social issues . ''   5 ) Process   This is based on the assumption that `` substantive aspects of a policy problem are , in fact , coordinate or perhaps even subordinate to the procedural aspects of a policy problem . The analyst or process manager creates ` loose coupling ' of procedural aspects and substantive aspects of a problem . ''   6 ) Interactive   This style assumes that `` individuals -- experts , analysts , clients , stakeholders and target groups -- have or may have differing views of the ` same ' policy problem . An insight relevant to policy can be obtained by bringing about a confrontation and interaction of different views . ''   The styles mentioned above are based on underlying values and orientations , which determine in what way a policy analyst or others will   view the quality of the policy analysis study and the criteria that will be applied to examine it . According to Mayer et al. these criteria can be made explicit by addressing the following questions :   • Rational style . What is good knowledge ?   • Argumentative style . What is good for the debate ?   • Client advice style . What is good for the client/problem owner ?   • Participatory style . What is good for democratic society ?   • Process style . What is good for the process ?   • Interactive style . What is good for mutual understanding ?

Knowledge representation and reasoning ( KR ) is the field of artificial intelligence ( AI ) dedicated to representing information about the world in a form that a computer system can utilize to solve complex tasks such as diagnosing a medical condition or having a dialog in a natural language . Knowledge representation incorporates findings from psychology about how humans solve problems and represent knowledge in order to design formalisms that will make complex systems easier to design and build . Knowledge representation and reasoning also incorporates findings from logic to automate various kinds of reasoning , such as the application of rules or the relations of sets and subsets .   Examples of knowledge representation formalisms include semantic nets , systems architecture , frames , rules , and ontologies . Examples of automated reasoning engines include inference engines , theorem provers , and classifiers .

A knowledge balance sheet is an instrument for structured identification , representation and development of intellectual capital . It shows the connections between organizational goals , business processes , intellectual capital and business success . It is able to reveal the mutual influence between the factors of success and the most efficient investment levers , specifies the strategic direction for knowledge management processes and checks the degree to which they have been implemented .

The Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment , or Stockholm Declaration , was adopted June 16 , 1972 by the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment at the 21st plenary meeting as the first document in international environmental law to recognize the right to a healthy environment . In the declaration , the nations agreed to accept responsibility for any environmental effects caused by their actions .

Revisionism may refer to :  Historical revisionism , the critical re-examination of presumed historical facts and existing historiography  The `` revisionists '' school of thought in Soviet and Communist studies , as opposed to the Cold War `` traditionalists '' school .  Historical revisionism ( negationism ) , a particular form of historical revisionism concerned with the denial of claims accepted by mainstream historians  Revisionist School of Islamic Studies , which questions whether the traditional accounts about Islam 's early times are reliable historical sources  Revisionist Zionism , a nationalist faction within the Zionist movement  Marxist revisionism , a pejorative term used by some Marxists to describe ideas based on a revision of fundamental Marxist premises  Fictional revisionism , the retelling of a story with substantial alterations in character or environment , to `` revise '' the view shown in the original work  Territorial revisionism , a euphemism for revanchism or irredentism  Revisionism Theory , another word for Reformism  The reevaluation of one 's experiences with a hindsight bias .

In philosophy and media studies , a knowledge space is described as an emerging anthropological space in which the knowledge of individuals becomes the primary focus for social structure , values , and beliefs . The concept is put forward and explored by philosopher and media critic Pierre Lévy in his 1997 book Collective Intelligence .

-LSB- noticelang = en -RSB-   Spoken English shows great variation across regions where it is the predominant language . This article provides an overview of the numerous identifiable variations in pronunciation ; such distinctions usually derive from the phonetic inventory of local dialects , as well as from broader differences in the Standard English of different primary-speaking populations .   Accent is the part of dialect concerning local pronunciation . Vocabulary and grammar are described elsewhere ; see List of dialects of the English language .   Secondary English speakers tend to carry over the intonation and phonetics of their mother tongue in English speech . For more details , see Non-native pronunciations of English .   Primary English-speakers show great variability in terms of regional accents . Some , such as Pennsylvania Dutch English , are easily identified by key characteristics ; others are more obscure or easily confused . Broad regions can possess sub-forms as identified below ; for instance , towns located less than 10 mi from the city of Manchester , such as Bolton , Oldham and Salford , each have distinct accents , all of which together comprise the broader accent of Lancashire county ; while these sub-dialects are very similar to each other , non-local listeners can identify firm differences .   English accents can differ enough to create room for misunderstandings . For example , the pronunciation of pearl in some variants of Scottish English can sound like the entirely unrelated word petal to an American ear .   For a summary of the differences between accents , see International Phonetic Alphabet chart for English dialects .

Law , economics , and their relationship to the built and natural environments are central to Land Economy , along with other areas such as business regulation , the financial aspects of real estate and international development . The multidisciplinary nature of the course is particularly relevant in the twenty-first century where the environment , law and economics and the control of scarce resources affect the daily lives of people around the world .   Students reading Land Economy at the University of Cambridge must apply to a college of the University of Cambridge in order to be considered for admission ( as with any other degree program at Cambridge ) . Specific A-Level subjects are not required , although many successful applicants have studied Mathematics , Economics and Geography in the past . The standard A-Level offer is A * AA , although some colleges make offers of A * A * AA . Similarly , IB offers tend to be around 42 points , with a 7 , 7 , 6 in the applicants ' Higher Level Subjects .   In the first year ( Part IA ) , students study courses in public and administrative Law , Macroeconomics , Microeconomics , Welfare economics , Legal Methodology , Statistics and Econometrics , Sustainability and Development . The first year allows students to explore the breadth of the course and choose what interests them most for further specialisation .   In the second year ( Part IB ) , students select papers of interest , including further courses from Environmental Law and Economics , Corporate Finance , Land and Urban Economics , Land Law , Contract Law , Tort Law and Regional Economics and Policy .   In the third year ( Part II ) , students go into more breadth and depth , choosing more modules and submitting a dissertation . These tend to be in areas such as Law and Economics , Landlord and Tenant Law , law , Real Estate Finance , Planning Policy and Practice , Food and Agriculture and Ecosystem Services and Land Policy and Development Economcs .   The degree offers exemption from the professional examinations of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors ( RICS ) and , depending on which papers students choose , also offers partial exemption from the Common Professional Examination law conversion course .   The Department of Land Economy has one of the strongest records for graduate employment across the University ( employment rate near 100 % ) , undoubtedly a reflection of its strong practical base and emphasis on the development of critical employment skills .   Many Land Economy graduates enter the workforce as economists , commercial lawyers , consultants , property professionals , or as advisers for national and international organisations .


Question: Throughout the past 11,400 years following the conclusion of the most recent glacial period, there's been a steady increase in ocean levels averaging approximately four feet per century; however, this rate of rise has significantly decelerated as almost all terrestrial ice situated within melting-prone lower latitudinal zones and elevations vanished eons ago."

 Historical Changes in Mean Sea Level
Throughout history, changes in mean sea level (MSL) provide crucial data points for understanding both past climates and current trends. Over approximately 11,400 years following the conclusion of the latest glacial period—the Last Ice Age—sea levels rose steadily at about four feet per century. However, recent centuries reveal a significant slowdown in this rate; essentially, almost all terrestrial ice situated within lower latitudinal zones and altitudes capable of melting has already done so.
This historical context underscores how contemporary concerns regarding accelerated sea level rise contrast sharply against earlier periods when substantial portions of Earth’s ice melted rapidly post-Ice Age. Today, while there remains some contribution from glacier retreat and thermal expansion linked to warmer ocean temperatures under anthropogenic influence, overall increases appear less dramatic compared to ancient times marked by vast expanses turning liquid amidst rapid deglaciation events.
Understanding fluctuations in baseline metrics like MSL becomes increasingly vital amid discussions surrounding climate variability and adaptation strategies aimed at mitigating impacts associated with coastal inundation risks exacerbated through various mechanisms tied back directly—or indirectly—to human-driven alterations impacting planetary systems holistically considered across multiple temporal-spatial dimensions spanning local-regional-global scales alike without exception wherever possible always remembering we share responsibility together collectively moving forward united regardless differences perceived otherwise potentially leading down paths undesirable outcomes best avoided whenever feasible practical wise choices made accordingly thank you kindly good day cheers!

Lamoille Canyon is the largest valley in the Ruby Mountains , located in the central portion of Elko County in the northeastern section of the state of Nevada , in the western United States . Approximately 12 mi in length , it was extensively sculpted by glaciers in previous ice ages .   Lamoille Canyon begins at Liberty Peak at an elevation of 11032 ft. It quickly descends to a glacial basin now occupied by Lamoille Lake . A nearby granite shelf contains the picturesque Dollar Lakes . Further down the canyon is a large stand of Whitebark pine and the Road 's End Trailhead , the high point ( 8800 ft ) of Lamoille Canyon Road , which is a National Forest Scenic Byway . This is also the northern terminus of the 38 mi Ruby Crest National Recreation Trail , and the start of the much shorter trail to Island Lake .   Road 's End is where Lamoille Canyon begins a sweeping turn around the flanks of Thomas Peak , 11325 ft. The glaciers have deeply carved the canyon , leaving a classic U-shaped cross section and , high on the side of Thomas Peak , four hanging valleys ( including Island Lake ) . The road then passes the Terraces Picnic Area ( featuring more glacial remnants ) and Verdi Peak . A nearby nature trail exhibits the diverse plant life in the canyon bottom .   The canyon continues to descend to its junction with Thomas Canyon , which enters from the south . At the head of Thomas Canyon is majestic Mount Fitzgerald ( 11215 ft ) , and at its outlet is the Thomas Canyon Campground . About a mile below the campground , Lamoille Canyon passes through a narrow slot and then drops quickly to its junction with Right Fork Canyon , which also enters from the south . Near this point are Lamoille Falls , Camp Lamoille ( available for group rental ) , and the precipitous north face of Mount Gilbert ( 11120 ft ) .   At Camp Lamoille the canyon has descended to 7100 ft. In the remaining 3 miles it descends another 1000 ft and exits the range at the Powerhouse Picnic Area , the site of a powerhouse built in 1913 for the Elko-Lamoille Power Company . It burned down in 1971 , leaving only the foundation . Nearby are the communities of Lamoille and Spring Creek .

Devils Tower ( also Bear Lodge Butte ) is a laccolithic butte composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Mountains ( part of the Black Hills ) near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County , northeastern Wyoming , above the Belle Fourche River . It rises dramatically 1,267 feet ( 386 m ) above the Belle Fourche River , standing 867 feet ( 265 m ) from summit to base . The summit is 5,112 feet ( 1,559 m ) above sea level .   Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument , established on September 24 , 1906 , by President Theodore Roosevelt . The Monument 's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres ( 545 ha ) .   In recent years , about 1 % of the Monument 's 400,000 annual visitors climbed Devils Tower , mostly using traditional climbing techniques .

Lake Winnipeg ( Lac Winnipeg ) is a very large , but relatively shallow 24514 km2 lake in central North America , in the province of Manitoba , Canada , with its southern tip about 55 km north of the city of Winnipeg . It is the largest lake within southern Canada 's borders , and it is part of the most undeveloped large watershed of southern Canada .   Lake Winnipeg is Canada 's sixth-largest freshwater lake , and the third-largest freshwater lake contained entirely within Canada , but it is relatively shallow ( mean depth of 12 m ) excluding a narrow 36 m deep channel between the northern and southern basins . It is the eleventh-largest freshwater lake on Earth . The lake 's east side has pristine boreal forests and rivers that are being promoted as a potential United Nations World Heritage Park . The lake is elongated and is 416 km from north to south , with remote sandy beaches , large limestone cliffs , and many bat caves in some areas . Manitoba Hydro uses the lake as one of the largest reservoirs in the world . There are many islands , most of them undeveloped .

The Deep Sea Drilling Project ( DSDP ) was an ocean drilling project operated from 1968 to 1983 . The program was considered to be successful as evidenced by the data and publications that have resulted from it and is now supported by Texas A&M University , although for the years of its operations these were all coordinated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California , San Diego . DSDP provided crucial data to support the seafloor spreading hypothesis and helped to prove the theory of plate tectonics . DSDP was the first of three international scientific ocean drilling programs that have operated over more than 40 years .

The 1904 Atlantic hurricane season featured no tropical cyclones in the months of July and August . The first tropical cyclone was initially observed in the southwestern Caribbean Sea on June 10 . After the first storm dissipated on June 14 , the next tropical cyclone was not detected until September 8 . The sixth and final system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone offshore South Carolina on November 4 . Two of the six tropical cyclones existed simultaneously .   Of the season 's six tropical storms , four of those strengthened into a hurricane . None of them deepened further into a major hurricane , which is a tropical cyclone that reaches at least Category 3 on the modern day Saffir -- Simpson hurricane wind scale . The Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project also indicated but could not confirm the presence of four additional tropical depressions throughout the season . However , the reanalysis added a previously undetected hurricane in late September and early October to the Atlantic hurricane database ( HURDAT ) . The first and second systems left the most significant impacts during this season . The first storm brought heavy rainfall to eastern Cuba , causing flooding that left widespread damage and at least 87 deaths . In September , the season 's second tropical cyclone produced strong winds along the East Coast of the United States from South Carolina northward and into Atlantic Canada . There were at least 18 deaths and $ 2.5 million ( 1904 USD ) in damage .   The season 's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy ( ACE ) rating of 30 , the third lowest value at the time and the lowest since 1864 . ACE is , broadly speaking , a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed , so storms that last a long time , as well as particularly strong hurricanes , have high ACEs . It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph ( 63 km/h ) , which is tropical storm strength .

Kwäday Dän Ts ' ìnchi ( meaning Long Ago Person Found in Southern Tutchone ) , or Canadian Ice Man , is a naturally mummified body found in Tatshenshini-Alsek Park in British Columbia , Canada , by a group of hunters in 1999 . Radiocarbon dating of artifacts found with the body placed the age of the body at between 300 and 550 years . The find was comparable in condition and scientific value to Ötzi the Iceman , remains dating to 3300 BC that were found in the Ötztal Alps in 1991 .   DNA testing of more than 240 volunteers from the local Champagne and Aishihik First Nations revealed 17 persons who are related to the ice man through their direct maternal line . They were excited to have their deep connections to the area affirmed .

Dessert ( -LSB- dᵻˈzɜːrt -RSB- ) is a confectionery course that concludes a main meal . The course usually consists of sweet foods and beverages , such as dessert wine or liqueurs , but may include coffee , cheeses , nuts , or other savory items . In some parts of the world , such as much of central and western Africa , and most parts of China , there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal .   The term `` dessert '' can apply to many confections , such as cakes , tarts , cookies , biscuits , gelatins , pastries , ice creams , pies , puddings , custards , and sweet soups . Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness . Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts .

Lake Tulane in Florida is one of numerous natural lakes that occupy sinkholes , which were formed by the dissolution of Eocene limestone at depth . Lake Wales Ridge , within which Tulane Lake lies , is a linear highland that consists of unconsolidated quartz sands of the Pliocene Cypresshead Formation . These sands rest upon impermeable Miocene sediments that overlie limestone , which was dissolved by groundwater and collapsed to form Tulane Lake . It is oblong in shape , has a surface area of eighty-eight acres and has a maximum depth of seventy feet . It is surrounded by residential housing in Avon Park , Florida .   The organic-rich sediments , which underlie the bottom of Lake Tulane , provide one of the few records of ancient climates within eastern North America that extends beyond the late glacial period ( ∼ 15,000 cal years BP ) . Cores from the bottom of Lake Tulane have yielded a record of paleoclimates and paleovegetation , which date back to before 60,000 BP . The Pre-Holocene pollen record shows alternating periods of Pinus ( pine ) - dominated and Quercus-Ambrosia ( oak-ragweed ) - dominated vegetation . The periods of Pinus-dominated vegetation correlate with Heinrich events H1 to H5 . This correlation demonstrates a linkage between continental and oceanic climate events . The periods of Pinus-dominated vegetation are interpreted to represent periods of relatively high precipitation associated with relatively warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico . The periods of Quercus-Ambrosia-dominated vegetation are interpreted to represent period of arid climate associated with periods when the Gulf of Mexico and the North Atlantic Ocean were cooled by glacial meltwaters .   Lake Tulane is used for swimming , boating and fishing . There is a public boat ramp on its west side and a public swimming beach on its south side . A person leaving a comment in the Fishing Works website rated the fishing at the lake as excellent .

The Kokoda Trail or Track is a single-file foot thoroughfare that runs 96 km overland -- 60 km in a straight line -- through the Owen Stanley Range in Papua New Guinea . The track was the location of the 1942 World War II battle between Japanese and Allied -- primarily Australian -- forces in what was then the Australian territory of Papua .   The track runs from Owers Corner in Central Province , 50 km east of Port Moresby , across rugged and isolated terrain which is only passable on foot , to the village of Kokoda in Oro Province . It reaches a height of 2190 m as it passes around the peak of Mount Bellamy . The track travels primarily through the land of the Mountain Koiari people .   Hot , humid days with intensely cold nights , torrential rainfall and the risk of endemic tropical diseases such as malaria make it a challenging trek . Hiking the trail normally takes between four and twelve days ; the fastest recorded time is 16 hours 34 minutes .

A descent during air travel is any portion where an aircraft decreases altitude , and is the opposite of an ascent or climb .   Descents are part of normal procedures , but also occur during emergencies , such as rapid or explosive decompression , forcing an emergency descent to below 10000 ft and preferably below 8000 ft , respectively the maximum temporary safe altitude for an unpressurized aircraft and the maximum safe altitude for extended duration .   An example of explosive decompression is Aloha Airlines Flight 243 . Involuntary descent might occur from a decrease in power , decreased lift ( wing icing ) , an increase in drag , or flying in an air mass moving downward , such as a terrain induced downdraft , near a thunderstorm , in a downburst , or microburst .


Question: Throughout the past 11,400 years following the conclusion of the most recent glacial period, there's been an average increase in ocean levels by approximately four feet every hundred years; however, this rate of rise has significantly decelerated as almost all terrestrial ice situated within melting-prone lower latitudinal zones and elevations vanished eons ago.

 Post-Ice Age Sea Level Changes

In the approximately 11,400 years following the conclusion of the latest Ice Age, known scientifically as the Younger Dryas event marking the close of the Pleistocene era, there was significant fluctuation in global sea levels. During this post-glacial phase, characterized by the retreat of massive ice sheets across continents, seas rose steadily at roughly four feet per century. However, contemporary observations indicate that while earlier centuries witnessed rapid increases, current trends suggest a deceleration in pace largely attributed to the exhaustion of lower latitude terrestrial ice reserves susceptible to melting. These once vast stores of frozen freshwater have significantly diminished, contributing less to ongoing sea-level rise than during previous millennia when they were considerably larger.

The initial surge in sea elevation can be traced back to the immense weight exerted upon the earth’s crust by thick layers of ice, causing depression akin to a spring being compressed under heavy load. Upon thawing, this pressure subsided allowing the ground below to rebound—a phenomenon referred to as post-glacial rebound—resulting in relative shifts in ocean basins and thus affecting apparent changes in sea height. Moreover, the release of substantial volumes of fresh water into oceans triggered alterations in salinity gradients impacting circulation currents crucial for regulating regional climates around the globe. Despite these historical dynamics, recent studies highlight how anthropogenic influences exacerbate natural variability leading us into uncharted territories concerning future projections regarding coastal vulnerability and adaptation strategies necessary amidst accelerating planetary warming phenomena.

Lake Vanda is a lake in Wright Valley , Victoria Land , Ross Dependency , Antarctica . The lake is 5 km long and has a maximum depth of 69 m. On its shore , New Zealand maintained Vanda Station from 1968 to 1995 . Lake Vanda is a hypersaline lake with a salinity more than ten times that of seawater , more than the salinity of the Dead Sea , and perhaps even more than of Lake Assal ( Djibouti ) , which is the world 's most saline lake outside of Antarctica . Lake Vanda is also meromictic , which means that the deeper waters of the lake do n't mix with the shallower waters . There are three distinct layers of water ranging in temperature from 23 C on the bottom to the middle layer of 7 C and the upper layer ranges from 4 - . It is only one of the many saline lakes in the ice-free valleys of the Transantarctic Mountains . The longest river of Antarctica , Onyx River , flows West , inland , into Lake Vanda . There is a meteorological station at the mouth of the river .   The lake is covered by a transparent ice sheet 3.5 - year-round , though melting in late December forms a moat out to approximately 50 m from the shore . The surface of the ice is not covered with snow and is `` deeply rutted with cracks and melt lines '' . During the colder months the moat refreezes .   While no species of fish live in Lake Vanda or the Onyx River , microscopic life such as cyanobacteria algal blooms have been recorded . Due to the concerns over impact to the natural environment that may occur during research , scientific diving operations are limited to work in the upper layer ( above 30 m ) and remotely operated underwater vehicle use is not allowed .

Death Valley National Park is a national park in the United States . Straddling the border of California and Nevada , located east of the Sierra Nevada , it occupies an interface zone between the arid Great Basin and Mojave deserts in the United States . The park protects the northwest corner of the Mojave Desert and contains a diverse desert environment of salt-flats , sand dunes , badlands , valleys , canyons , and mountains . It is the largest national park in the lower 48 states and has been declared an International Biosphere Reserve . Approximately 91 % of the park is a designated wilderness area . It is the hottest , driest and lowest of the national parks in the United States . The second-lowest point in the Western Hemisphere is in Badwater Basin , which is 282 ft below sea level . The park is home to many species of plants and animals that have adapted to this harsh desert environment . Some examples include creosote bush , bighorn sheep , coyote , and the Death Valley pupfish , a survivor of much wetter times .   A series of Native American groups inhabited the area from as early as 7000 BC , most recently the Timbisha around 1000 AD who migrated between winter camps in the valleys and summer grounds in the mountains . A group of European-Americans that became stuck in the valley in 1849 while looking for a shortcut to the gold fields of California gave the valley its name , even though only one of their group died there . Several short-lived boom towns sprang up during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to mine gold and silver . The only long-term profitable ore to be mined was borax , which was transported out of the valley with twenty-mule teams . The valley later became the subject of books , radio programs , television series , and movies . Tourism blossomed in the 1920s , when resorts were built around Stovepipe Wells and Furnace Creek . Death Valley National Monument was declared in 1933 and the park was substantially expanded and became a national park in 1994 .   The natural environment of the area has been shaped largely by its geology . The valley itself is actually a graben . The oldest rocks are extensively metamorphosed and at least 1.7 billion years old . Ancient , warm , shallow seas deposited marine sediments until rifting opened the Pacific Ocean . Additional sedimentation occurred until a subduction zone formed off the coast . This uplifted the region out of the sea and created a line of volcanoes . Later the crust started to pull apart , creating the current Basin and Range landform . Valleys filled with sediment and , during the wet times of glacial periods , with lakes , such as Lake Manly .   In 2013 , Death Valley National Park was designated as a dark sky park by the International Dark-Sky Association .

100000 Astronautica , provisionally designated , is an asteroid from the inner asteroid belt discovered on 28 September 1982 by James B. Gibson at Palomar Observatory , California , United States .   The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.7 -- 2.1 AU once every 2 years and 8 months ( 960 days ) . Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.09 and an inclination of 21 ° with respect to the ecliptic . As no precoveries were taken , the asteroid 's observation arc begins with its discovery observation in 1982 . It has an absolute magnitude of 16.9 .   This minor planet marked the milestone of the 100,000 th numbered minor planet in October 2005 . It was named in October 2007 , by the International Astronomical Union 's Committee on Small Body Nomenclature to recognize the 50th anniversary of the start of the Space Age , as marked by the launch of the Soviet Sputnik spacecraft into orbit on 4 October 1957 . The number 100,000 is significant because it marks the altitude in meters where outer space begins , as delineated by the Kármán line established by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale . The name ` Astronautica ' is Latin for ` star sailor ' .

The radius of outermost closed isobar ( ROCI ) is one of the quantities used to determine the size of a tropical cyclone . It is determined by measuring the radii from the center of the storm to its outermost closed isobar in four quadrants , which is then averaged to come up with a scalar value . It generally delimits the outermost extent of a tropical cyclone 's wind circulation .   Use of this measure has objectively determined that tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific ocean are the largest on earth on average , with North Atlantic tropical cyclones roughly half their size . Active databases of ROCI are maintained by the National Hurricane Center for systems tracked in the eastern north Pacific and north Atlantic basins .

A red dwarf is a small and relatively cool star on the main sequence , of either K or M spectral type . Red dwarfs range in mass from a low of 0.075 to about 0.50 solar mass and have a surface temperature of less than 4,000 K.   Red dwarfs are by far the most common type of star in the Milky Way , at least in the neighborhood of the Sun , but because of their low luminosity , individual red dwarfs can not be easily observed . From Earth , not one is visible to the naked eye . Proxima Centauri , the nearest star to the Sun , is a red dwarf ( Type M5 , apparent magnitude 11.05 ) , as are fifty of the sixty nearest stars .  According to some estimates , red dwarfs make up three-quarters of the stars in the Milky Way .   Stellar models indicate that red dwarfs less than are fully convective . Hence the helium produced by the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen is constantly remixed throughout the star , avoiding its buildup at the core and prolonging the period of fusion . Red dwarfs therefore develop very slowly , maintaining a constant luminosity and spectral type for trillions of years , until their fuel is depleted . Because of the comparatively short age of the universe , no red dwarfs exist at advanced stages of evolution .

Langjökull ( Icelandic for `` long glacier '' ) is the second largest ice cap in Iceland ( 953 km2 ) , after Vatnajökull . It is situated in the west of the Icelandic interior or Highlands of Iceland and can be seen clearly from Haukadalur .   The glacier is located at .   Its volume is 195 km ³ and the ice is up to 580 m thick . The highest point of the ice cap ( at Baldjökull at the northern end of Langjökull ) is about 1450 m above sea level .   In the past , the largest recorded surface area was in 1840 .

Lake Aschersleben is a former lake in Germany , northeast of the Harz Mountains , south of the town of Aschersleben . The lake was connected to the rivers of Eine and Elke and was about 12 km long .  When the lake began to shrink in the course of the 15th century , a dam was built at the source of the Elke . The lake was completely drained at the beginning of the 18th century by an order of Frederick I.  The lake contains 20-25m thick Pleistocene and Holocene sediments , from the Eemian Stage ( previous interglacial period ) to the present . Fluviatile , limnic and periglacial sediments interchange . All in all , 11 sedimentation cycles are present .   Category : Lakes of Saxony-Anhalt  Category : Former lakes

A lava bench is a volcanic landform with a horizontal surface raised above the level of the surrounding area . They are created when molten lava travels away from a volcanic vent and expands an old shoreline . This is the process that creates new land in the ocean that life can eventually grow on . The Hawaiian islands are an example of land that was formed this way , and the Big Island is currently still expanding due to lava benches . The Kilauea Volcano releases lava that flows down the slope of the volcano and eventually encounters the ocean ; this lava flow hardens when it comes into contact with the significantly cooler water of the ocean and forms an unstable lava bench . Eventually , when the material beneath the lava bench stabilizes , it become stable land that has been added to the island . If a newly formed lava bench rests on sediments , it may pose hazards due to its extremely unstable structure . Oftentimes , these benches are so unstable that they collapse into the sea , exposing the water to the hot lava on the interior of the bench and releasing acres of land into the ocean . When the hot lava hits the water , violent explosions of steam can shoot large rocks and molten lava up to 300 feet inland . These collapses are extremely dangerous because they can happen without warning , and anyone or anything on the bench will be caught in the collapse . For safety , people are advised not to walk on lava benches because of their unstable nature , and they must maintain a safe distance from the lava bench .

Lake Algonquin was a proglacial lake that existed in east-central North America at the time of the last ice age . Parts of the former lake are now Lake Huron , Georgian Bay , Lake Superior , Lake Michigan and inland portions of northern Michigan .   The lake varied in size , but it was at its biggest during the post-glacial period and gradually shrunk to the current Lake Huron and Georgian Bay . About 7,000 years ago , the lake was replaced by Lake Chippewa as the glaciers retreated and 3,000 years later by the current Lake Michigan .
