Do the recent severe droughts in the Amazonia have the same period of length? [PDF]
We propose a new measure based on drought period length to assess the temporal difference between the recent two severe droughts of 2005 and 2010 in the Amazonia.

What mechanisms dominate the activity of Geminid Parent (3200) Phaethon? [PDF]
A long-term sublimation model to explain how Phaethon could provide the Geminid stream is proposed. We find that it would take $\sim6$ Myr or more for Phaethon to lose all of its internal ice (if ever there was) in its present orbit.
