Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2006 Many scientists have been considering the idea that the Earth may have completely frozen over sometime in the past. Kirschvink [1992] proposed that a runaway ice‐albedo effect on continents amassed in low latitudes caused the descent into a global freeze.

Falling pupil numbers and school closures: Setting a research agenda for a new era of precarity
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper explores the significant phenomenon of decreasing pupil numbers in England due to lower birth rates and the impact of a school closure on a school community. It then discusses how the sociology of education might research this major issue.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 For tens of millions of years (Ma), the terrestrial habitats of Snowball Earth during the Cryogenian period (between 720 and 635 Ma before present–Neoproterozoic Era) were possibly dominated by global snow and ice cover up to the equatorial sublimative ...

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract While Gaokao, the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE), has been extensively discussed outside the Chinese academic circle, the retake policy of the test has not received much attention. Moreover, Gaokao research in China has predominantly examined the effectiveness of the retake decision in relation to students' demographic ...

Influence of Orbital Forcing on the Snowball Earth Deglaciation
Geophysical Research LettersNeoproterozoic snowball Earth events lasted for multiple million years, experiencing many orbital cycles. Here we investigate whether the deglaciation of these events would be triggered more easily at certain orbital configurations than others, by using ...

Reducing Food Waste Through Sharing Platforms: Unveiling the Rebound Effect
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food‐sharing platforms are nowadays recognised as a powerful tool to increase food saving. However, little is known about the key determinants fostering its usage. We propose testing the psychosocial determinants of food‐sharing app usage and its impact on post consumption behaviour by combining the technology acceptance model (TAM) with the ...

Weak tides during Cryogenian glaciations
Nature Communications, 2020 How and why the ‘Snowball Earth’ occurred during the Cryogenian period is debated. Here, the authors show that the cryogenian ocean hosted diminished tidal amplitudes and associated energy dissipation rates, reaching 10-50% of today’s rates thus perhaps ...
