Kuwae, Epi and Tongoa Islands: Transformations of a volcanic landscape in central Vanuatu
ABSTRACT This paper presents a detailed overview of archaeological research undertaken on Epi and Tongoa, in central Vanuatu. These islands were previously connected to one another and respectively formed the western and eastern portions of Kuwae, one of the largest islands in the Vanuatu archipelago, until the catastrophic Tombuk volcanic eruption ...

ABSTRACT Radiocarbon dating of basal peats has been a key factor in determining minimum ages for deglaciation on sub‐Antarctic islands. On Marion Island, peat bogs dominate the landscape below 300 m a.s.l., and palynological assessments of peat cores have been used to assess the vegetation history and succession rates as well as the sensitivity of the ...

A Habitable Planet around HD 85512? [PDF]
Aims: In this study we assess the habitability of HD85512b, a 3.6M_Earth planet orbiting a K5V star. The radial velocity data and orbital parameters for HD 85512 b have just been published, based on data from the dedicated HARPS-upgrade GTO program. Methods: This paper outlines a simple approach to evaluate habitability of rocky planets from radial ...

Abstract Ionospheric molecular ions, such as N2+ ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}^{+}$, NO+, and O2+ ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}^{+}$, have been observed in Earth's high‐altitude ionosphere and the magnetosphere by several spacecraft missions. Their presence not only indicates that they obtain sufficient energy through effective energization mechanisms, predominantly during ...

Abstract NASA's Curiosity rover has found widespread evidence of alteration in sedimentary rocks in Gale crater, Mars driven by interactions with fluids both before and after lithification (early and late diagenesis). Most notably, Curiosity observed distinctive color, chemical, and mineralogical changes interpreted as evidence of diagenesis at the ...
