Effect of orogeny, plate motion and land-sea distribution on Eurasian climate change over the past 30 million years
Article Abstract:
A study simulates modern day Eurasian climates and those of 10 million and 30 million years ago, using an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM), based on new palaeogeographical maps. It concentrates on the major role of the retreat of the Paratethys sea on changes in the central Asian climate, and compares the results with previous sensitivity experiments focusing mainly on plateau uplift.

A 'snowball earth' climate triggered by continental break-up through changes in runoff
Article Abstract:
A technique for spin coating ultrathin, crystalline and continuous metal chalcogenide films, based on the low temperature decomposition of highly soluble hydrazinium precursors is demonstrated. The study provides a well-quantified mechanism to explain the Sturtian glaciations, which were perhaps the most extensive glaciations in the past billion years.

Ice-sheet plumbing in Antarctica
Article Abstract:
Remote imaging has enabled the discovery of long-distance of water from one subglacial lake to another in Antarctica. The question of whether the lakes that form beneath great ice-sheets are long-lived and stable is, collecting and spilling water at a steady rate is explored.
