Avatars' Phygital Social Presence in the Metaverse: An Engaged Theory Perspective

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While prior authors have explored the notions of human and/or automated social presence, these concepts have been predominantly assessed either individually or as mutually exclusive theoretical entities. However, we draw on engaged theory to develop the hybrid concept of phygital social presence that comprises aspects of both the human and ...

The thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia) in Northwest Greenland (Avanersuaq) relies on Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) in a changing climate

open access: yesArctic Science
Considering seabirds as indicators of environmental change, we compared thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia (Linnaeus, 1758)) adult and chick diet in the North Water polynya region, NW Greenland, during 1997 and 2023.

Surface expression of a wall fountain: application to subglacial discharge plumes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We use laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling to investigate the surface expression of a subglacial discharge plume, as occurs at many fjords around Greenland. The experiments consider a fountain that is released vertically into a homogeneous fluid, adjacent either to a vertical or a sloping wall, that then spreads horizontally at the free ...

A 110,000‐year history of change in continental biogenic emissions and related atmospheric circulation inferred from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project Ice Core [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The 110,000‐year record of ammonium concentrations from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice core provides the basis for an analysis of terrestrial biological production and atmospheric circulation patterns involved in the transport of ...

Мiryachit: A Culture‐Specific Startle Syndrome in the Saami People

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Miryachit is perhaps the most complex and least understood of the culture‐specific startle syndromes that include latah and the jumping Frenchmen of Maine. Objectives We carried out a field study to evaluate startle‐induced paroxysms in the Saami to determine if it is still endemic and, if so, to contrast it with the available ...

Changes in the Velocity Structure of the Greenland Ice Sheet

open access: yesScience, 2006
Using satellite radar interferometry observations of Greenland, we detected widespread glacier acceleration below 66° north between 1996 and 2000, which rapidly expanded to 70° north in 2005.

Energy Considerations for Lifting the Greenland Ice-Melt from the Earth's Gravitational Well [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Climatologists have calculated that a complete melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet would cause global sea levels to rise by some 7.2 meters (23.6 feet). This article investigates the possibility of physically removing this excess water from the surface of the Earth by lifting the water into space.
