    Using meteorological observer data to compare wind erosion during two great droughts in eastern Australia; the World War II Drought (1937–1946) and the Millennium Drought (2001–2010) (2014)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-10-22
    Description: ABSTRACT Australian meteorological observers started using the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) weather coding system in the 1950s. This system is still in use around the world today. However, observing and recording the weather in an organised and systematic manner had been ongoing for over 100 years prior to the adoption of this coding system, and much like Australia, most countries will have historical meteorological records. In this paper we compare the wind erosion of two of the greatest droughts in Australian recorded history; the WWII Drought (1937–1945) and the Millennium Drought (2001–2009). To do this we analysed previously unavailable meteorological observer records from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABM). Wind erosion records, mostly in long-hand written form, were translated to the modern WMO coding system for the WWII Drought and compared with the wind erosion of Australia's recently-ended Millennium Drought, one of the longest and harshest on record. We quantify wind erosion using Dust Event Days (DED) and a modified version of a published Dust Storm Index (DSI) to show that wind erosion during the WWII Drought was up to 4.6 times higher than during the Millennium Drought. This study has international significance because it demonstrates a methodology for tracking changes in wind erosion over the past 75 years based on observer records available in every country with a history of organised weather observation.

    Fire in Australian Savannas: from leaf to landscape (2014)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-07-17
    Description: Savanna ecosystems comprise 22% of the global terrestrial surface and 25% of Australia (almost 1.9 million km 2 ) and provide significant ecosystem services through carbon and water cycles and the maintenance of biodiversity. The current structure, composition and distribution of Australian savannas have co-evolved with fire, yet remain driven by the dynamic constraints of their bioclimatic niche. Fire in Australian savannas influences both the biophysical and biogeochemical processes at multiple scales from leaf to landscape. Here we present the latest emission estimates from Australian savanna biomass burning and their contribution to global greenhouse gas budgets. We then review our understanding of the impacts of fire on ecosystem function and local surface water and heat balances, which in turn influence regional climate. We show how savanna fires are coupled to the global climate through the carbon cycle and fire regimes. We present new research that climate change is likely to alter the structure and function of savannas through shifts in moisture availability and increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), in turn altering fire regimes with further feedbacks to climate. We explore opportunities to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions from savanna ecosystems through changes in savanna fire management. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

    Nicotine activation of alpha4* receptors: sufficient for reward, tolerance, and sensitization (2004)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-11-06
    Description: The identity of nicotinic receptor subtypes sufficient to elicit both the acute and chronic effects of nicotine dependence is unknown. We engineered mutant mice with a4 nicotinic subunits containing a single point mutation, Leu9' --〉 Ala9' in the pore-forming M2 domain, rendering a4* receptors hypersensitive to nicotine. Selective activation of a4* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with low doses of agonist recapitulates nicotine effects thought to be important in dependence, including reinforcement in response to acute nicotine administration, as well as tolerance and sensitization elicited by chronic nicotine administration. These data indicate that activation of a4* receptors is sufficient for nicotine-induced reward, tolerance, and sensitization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tapper, Andrew R -- McKinney, Sheri L -- Nashmi, Raad -- Schwarz, Johannes -- Deshpande, Purnima -- Labarca, Cesar -- Whiteaker, Paul -- Marks, Michael J -- Collins, Allan C -- Lester, Henry A -- DA-15663/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- DA-3194/DA/NIDA NIH HHS/ -- MH-49716/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- NS-11756/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Nov 5;306(5698):1029-32.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15528443" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Hypoxic coordinate regulation of mitochondrial enzymes in mammalian cells (1984)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1984-02-17
    Description: The effect of hypoxic exposure on various mitochondrial enzymes and on cell mitochondrial genomic content was studied in two types of mammalian cells. Hypoxia depressed the activity of six enzymes to the same degree. The kinetics of depression and of recovery during reexposure to normoxia were statistically similar for three marker enzymes. Despite the global and symmetrical decrease in enzyme activities, mitochondrial DNA remained constant. This suggests either symmetrical loss of mitochondrial enzymes from all mitochondria or complete loss of enzymes from a subpopulation of mitochondria with retention of an intact mitochondrial genome.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Murphy, B J -- Robin, E D -- Tapper, D P -- Wong, R J -- Clayton, D A -- 5 R01 HL23701-14/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Feb 17;223(4637):707-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6320368" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    An enzymatic system for removing heparin in extracorporeal therapy (1982)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1982-07-16
    Description: The need to fully heparinize patients undergoing extracorporeal therapy often leads to hemorrhagic complications. To enable heparinization of only the extracorporeal circuit, a blood filter containing immobilized heparinase was developed. This filter degraded 99 percent of heparin's anticoagulant activity within minutes in both canine and human blood.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Langer, R -- Linhardt, R J -- Hoffberg, S -- Larsen, A K -- Cooney, C L -- Tapper, D -- Klein, M -- GM 25810/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Jul 16;217(4556):261-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7089564" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Seasonal, interannual and decadal drivers of tree and grass productivity in an Australian tropical savanna (2018)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-06
    Description: Tree–grass savannas are a widespread biome and are highly valued for their ecosystem services. There is a need to understand the long-term dynamics and meteorological drivers of both tree and grass productivity separately in order to successfully manage savannas in the future. This study investigated the interannual variability (IAV) of tree and grass gross primary productivity (GPP) by combining a long-term (15 year) eddy covariance flux record and model estimates of tree and grass GPP inferred from satellite remote sensing. On a seasonal basis, the primary drivers of tree and grass GPP were solar radiation in the wet season and soil moisture in the dry season. On an interannual basis, soil water availability had a positive effect on tree GPP and a negative effect on grass GPP. No linear trend in the tree–grass GPP ratio was observed over the 15-year study period. However, the tree–grass GPP ratio was correlated with the modes of climate variability, namely the Southern Oscillation Index. This study has provided insight into the long-term contributions of trees and grasses to savanna productivity, along with their respective meteorological determinants of IAV. Tree–grass savannas are a widespread biome and are highly valued for their ecosystem services. This study investigated the interannual variability in tree and grass gross primary productivity (GPP) by combining a long-term (15 year) eddy covariance flux record and model estimates of tree and grass GPP inferred from satellite remote sensing. Seasonal and interannual variability in tree and grass GPP was significantly correlated with water availability. Climate anomaly years were also responsible for interannual shifts in tree and grass GPP.

    Weekly cycles of global fires – associations with religion, wealth and culture, and insights into anthropogenic influences on global climate (2015)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-11-11
    Description: One approach to quantifying anthropogenic influences on the environment and the consequences of those is to examine weekly cycles (WCs). No long-term natural process occurs on a WC so any such signal can be considered anthropogenic. There is much ongoing scientific debate as to whether regional-scale WCs exist above the statistical noise level, with most significant studies claiming that anthropogenic aerosols and their interaction with solar radiation and clouds (direct/indirect effect) is the controlling factor. A major source of anthropogenic aerosol, under-represented in the literature, is active fire (AF) from anthropogenic burning for land clearance/management. WCs in AF have not been analysed heretofore, and these can provide a mechanism for observed regional-scale WCs in several meteorological variables. We show that WCs in AFs are highly pronounced for many parts of the world, strongly influenced by the working week and particularly the day(s) of rest, associated with religious practices.

    Variability of Soil Moisture Proxies and Hot Days Across the Climate Regimes of Australia (2017)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-06-21
    Description: The frequency of extreme events such as heatwaves are expected to increase due to the effect of climate change, particularly in semi-arid regions areas of Australia. Recent studies have indicated a link between soil moisture deficits and heat extreme, focusing on the coupling between the two. This study investigates the relationship between the number of hot-days (Tx90) and four soil moisture proxies (SPI, API, MSDI and KBDI), and how the strength of this relationship changes across various climate regimes within Australia. A strong anti-correlation between Tx90 and each moisture index is found, particularly for tropical savannas and temperate regions. However, the magnitude of the increase in Tx90 with decreasing moisture is strongest in semi-arid and arid regions. It is also shown that the Tx90-soil moisture relationship strengthens during the El Niño phases of ENSO in regions which are more sensitive to changes in soil moisture.

    Sources and pathways of dust during the Australian ‘Millennium Drought’ decade (2017)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-01-06
    Description: From the late 1990s to mid-2010, Australia was affected by a prolonged period of drought, the ‘Millennium Drought’, during which numerous severe dust storms crossed the continent. We inspect this period to produce the first continental-scale climatology of air-parcel trajectories that is specific to dust and use it to gain new insights into dust transport dynamics over the eastern half of Australia. The analysis is based upon dust arrival times from airport meteorological observations made at nine mostly coastal cities for 2000-2009. The Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model was used to calculate 1.26 million backward trajectories from receptor cities, with only those trajectories associated with a dust storm observation considered in the analysis of dust transport. To tie dust trajectories from receptors to likely emission sources, trajectories were linked to six known major dust source regions in and around the Lake Eyre Basin. The Lake Eyre North ephemeral lake system, alluvial-dominated Channel Country and agricultural Mallee-Riverina regions emerge as important sources for the period, providing variable contributions to different parts of the seaboard as controlled by different front-related wind systems. Our study also provides new detail regarding dust pathways from continental Australia. For the Millennium Drought we identify that the broadly established Southeast Dust Path may be more accurately sub-divided into three active pathways, driven by pre-frontal northerly winds and a variation in the influence of frontal westerlies. The detail of these pathways has implications for dust delivery from specific Australian sources to different marine environments.
