    [Special Issue News] Thinking the Unthinkable (2016)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-07-15
    Description: What are the greatest threats to humanity and human civilization? Scholars think a self-induced catastrophe such as nuclear war or a bioengineered pandemic is most likely to do us in. But extreme natural hazards—including threats from space and geologic upheavals here on Earth—could also do the job. Although common, moderately severe disasters such as earthquakes attract far more funding and attention than low-probability apocalyptic ones, a handful of researchers persists in thinking the unthinkable. With knowledge and planning, they say, it's possible to prepare for—or in some cases prevent—rare but devastating natural disasters such as blasts of particles from the sun, collisions with near-Earth asteroids like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs, and supervolcanoes that dwarf any eruptions in recorded history.

    Scientists and Reporters Just Want to Get to the Bottom of It All (2014)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-10-08
    Description: After just a few short months, my desk at the Los Angeles Times had succumbed to the same peculiar malady as my desk at Oregon State University, where I did my Ph.D. in paleoclimatology: It seemed to have sprouted a thin coat of fluorescent sticky notes. Each tiny square bore a fact that merited remembering or a question that demanded answering, and, every day, they multiplied.

    Cloud variations in current climate a guide to climate changes (2014)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-12-03
    Description: Clouds come in many flavors—like wispy cirrus, cotton-puff altocumulus, and ominous stratus—and each presents a unique set of challenges for scientists trying to understand their effects on climate. Because of this, clouds have long accounted for much of the disagreement between climate models, and for most of the uncertainty in estimates of how much the Earth is expected to warm with a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).

    Six of the L'Aquila Seven Acquitted in Appeal (2014)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-19
    Description: On 10 November, a panel of judges acquitted the scientists charged with manslaughter in the wake of a deadly earthquake that struck the Italian city of L'Aquila in 2009. Only the former deputy director of Italy's Civil Protection Department, Bernardo De Bernardinis, faces a 2-year sentence, which he may not serve.

    Changing crustal velocities preceded 2011 Tohoku-oki quake (2014)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-19
    Description: For decades leading up to the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the east coast of Japan, GPS stations on the island of Honshu recorded changes at the rate at which the Earth's surface deformed. Previous work attributed this to the lasting effects of earlier earthquakes, such as the series of M w 6.5+ events that struck between 2003 and 2011. Temblors can influence deformation long after shaking stops through gradual postseismic slip and, for large events, through decades-long relaxation of stress in the lower crust and mantle.

    Manganese deposits on Mars suggest a highly oxidized past (2014)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-19
    Description: As the Curiosity rover picks its way across the Martian surface, sampling rocks and snapping photos, it searches for signs that the dusty craters and ridges under its treads may once have supported life or, at least, that they might have been habitable. Now, using measurements of manganese abundances in Martian rocks, Lanza et al. provide new evidence that Mars may have hosted liquid water and a more strongly oxygenated atmosphere at some point in its past.

    Methane leaks from oil and gas fields detected from space (2014)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-11-19
    Description: A few years ago, while poring over satellite images of the Earth at night, scientists spotted the bright glow of natural gas flares burning in the oil and gas fields that have fueled America's recent energy boom. Now they have spotted something else from space: large plumes of fugitive methane gas liberated from these formations by unconventional extraction methods like horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.

    Atmospheric CO2 over the last 1000 years: A high-resolution record from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide ice core (2012)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-26
    Description: We report a decadally resolved record of atmospheric CO2 concentration for the last 1000 years, obtained from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide shallow ice core. The most prominent feature of the pre-industrial period is a rapid ∼7 ppm decrease of CO2 in a span of ∼20–50 years at ∼1600 A.D. This observation confirms the timing of an abrupt atmospheric CO2 decrease of ∼10 ppm observed for that time period in the Law Dome ice core CO2 records, but the true magnitude of the decrease remains unclear. Atmospheric CO2 variations over the time period 1000–1800 A.D. are statistically correlated with northern hemispheric climate and tropical Indo-Pacific sea surface temperature. However, the exact relationship between CO2 and climate remains elusive due to regional climate variations and/or uneven geographical data density of paleoclimate records. We observe small differences of 0 ∼ 2% (0 ∼ 6 ppm) among the high-precision CO2 records from the Law Dome, EPICA Dronning Maud Land and WAIS Divide Antarctic ice cores. However, those records share common trends of CO2 change on centennial to multicentennial time scales, and clearly show that atmospheric CO2 has been increasing above preindustrial levels since ∼1850 A.D.
