High-temperature environments of human evolution in East Africa based on bond ordering in paleosol carbonates [PDF]
, 2010 Many important hominid-bearing fossil localities in East Africa are in regions that are extremely hot and dry. Although humans are well adapted to such conditions, it has been inferred that East African environments were cooler or more wooded during the ...

Fermi Resonance and the Quantum Mechanical Basis of Global Warming
The Planetary Science JournalAlthough the scientific principles of anthropogenic climate change are well-established, existing calculations of the warming effect of carbon dioxide rely on spectral absorption databases, which obscures the physical foundations of the climate problem ...

Modeling climate diversity, tidal dynamics and the fate of volatiles on TRAPPIST-1 planets [PDF]
, 2017 TRAPPIST-1 planets are invaluable for the study of comparative planetary science outside our Solar System and possibly habitability. First, we derive from N-body simulations possible planetary evolution scenarios, and show that each of the planets are ...

Scaling Laws and Regime Transitions of Macroturbulence in Dry Atmospheres [PDF]
, 2008 In simulations of a wide range of circulations with an idealized general circulation model, clear scaling laws of dry atmospheric macroturbulence emerge that are consistent with nonlinear eddy–eddy interactions being weak.
