How Water In Extreme Locations Helps To Control The Current Climate On Mars

Brown , Adrian 1 1 NASA Ames The Martian poles are the most dynamic regions on the Red Planet, changing almost daily, and exchanging icy material between each pole as the surface warms or cools with the season. Two ices freeze and thaw as part of this cycle - CO2...

Cartographic Models To Characterize Changes In Fluvial Landscapes

Bock , Andrew 1 1 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ - Department of Geography Because of their structure and function, riparian areas occupy a unique position in the landscape, as they are subject to change over time in response to geomorphic and hydrologic factors and are important pathways for flows of energy...

Supraglacial Lake Volumes On The Jakobshavn Isbrae

Adler , John 1 1 CIRES In contrast to Antarctica, water runoff constitutes approximately half of Greenland's annual ice loss, with iceberg calving contributing the other 50%. In the Jakobshavn Isbrae region, the melt water from dozens of supraglacial lakes will ultimately flow into the ocean as runoff, which can...

Stoichiometric Control Of Organic Carbon-Nitrate Relationships From Soils To The Sea

Taylor , Philip G 1 ; Townsend , Alan R 2 1 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ 2 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Human creation of reactive nitrogen has risen an order of magnitude since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. This dramatic reorganization of a global biogeochemical cycle has brought substantial benefits, but...

Interactions Between Turbulent Mixing And Broadcast Spawning

Soltys , Michael 1 ; Crimaldi , John P 2 1 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ 2 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Turbulent fluid flow plays an important role in many physical and biological mixing processes. This is exemplified by broadcast spawning, the reproductive strategy used by corals and many other marine invertebrates. When...
