These animals believe they are Greek gods and goddesses, and their mighty quests in ancient Greece—aka the Mount Olympus Pet Center in Athens, Georgia—will give readers a whole new experience with Greek mythology. As the title suggests, each book in the series will follow our heroic hamster, Zeus, and his companions on epic journeys, battling mythical monsters and mis- understandings. We hope you enjoy this book and will join our quest to bring an exciting new world of Greek mythology to middle-grade readers everywhere. This second series in our fact-based fiction imprint, Under the Stars, gives readers a rollicking romp through reimagined tales, such as Jason and the Argonauts, while the “Truth Behind the Fiction” section in each book provides the original myth along with facts about ancient Greek history and culture. This fun combination of laughing and learning will appeal to fans of animals, mythology, and funny stories.

RAVI JULY 10, 2017 13:24 IST UPDATED: JULY 10, 2017 13:41 IST As National Geographic’s mega live show Earth Live goes on air this morning, wildlife cinematographer Sandesh Kadur talks about the importance of capturing a slice of animal life in environment conservation Considering its scale, reach and coverage, the much talked about National Geographic’s Earth Live, a two-hour live broadcast by world’s leading wildlife cinematographers, can be called an epic television show. Covering key locations across six continents, it will be simulcast in 171 countries and 45 languages. From hyenas of Ethiopia to rare and elusive ocelots, from Mexican free-tailed bats in Texas to beluga whale breeding grounds at Canada, from lion http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/one-with-the-world/article19249779.ece 1/4 4/12/2018 One with the world - The Hindu prides at Kenya’s Masai Mara to flamingos in Mexico , it will be global wildlife non-stop. In India it will be telecast early morning today. From India well known photographer and filmmaker Sandesh Kadur is showcasing the Old World monkeys, langurs. Calling it a privilege to be part of the show, he says what makes it different is not merely the scale and scope. “Capturing what is happening at the very moment makes it organic for the audience as sitting at their homes they watch slices of animal world like never before. A documentary normally is shot over years and then edited but in this case you see live action of varied animals at different places and time.

  • An Analytical Model of Iceberg Drift
    JULY 2017 W A G N E R E T A L . 1605 An Analytical Model of Iceberg Drift TILL J. W. WAGNER,REBECCA W. DELL, AND IAN EISENMAN University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California (Manuscript received 2 December 2016, in final form 6 April 2017) ABSTRACT The fate of icebergs in the polar oceans plays an important role in Earth’s climate system, yet a detailed understanding of iceberg dynamics has remained elusive. Here, the central physical processes that determine iceberg motion are investigated. This is done through the development and analysis of an idealized model of iceberg drift. The model is forced with high-resolution surface velocity and temperature data from an obser- vational state estimate. It retains much of the most salient physics, while remaining sufficiently simple to allow insight into the details of how icebergs drift. An analytical solution of the model is derived, which highlights how iceberg drift patterns depend on iceberg size, ocean current velocity, and wind velocity. A long-standing rule of thumb for Arctic icebergs estimates their drift velocity to be 2% of the wind velocity relative to the ocean current. Here, this relationship is derived from first principles, and it is shown that the relationship holds in the limit of small icebergs or strong winds, which applies for typical Arctic icebergs. For the opposite limit of large icebergs (length . 12 km) or weak winds, which applies for typical Antarctic tabular icebergs, it is shown that this relationship is not applicable and icebergs move with the ocean current, unaffected by the wind.

  • PRESS RELEASE Icebergs A-70 and A-71 Calve from Larsen-D Ice Shelf in the Weddell
    U.S. National Ice Center NOAA Satellite Operations Facility 4231 Suitland Road Suitland, MD 20746 PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: LT Falon Essary, NOAA [email protected] 3​ 01-817-3934 Icebergs A-70 and A-71 Calve from Larsen-D Ice Shelf in the Weddell Sea 08JAN2021, Suitland, MD — The Larsen-D Ice Shelf calved several icebergs in a calving event, two of which are large enough to be named. The breakup occurred in early November 2020, but until now it had been impossible to confirm whether these were icebergs large enough to be named or extremely old sea ice that had fasted to the ice shelf. Recent imagery showing surface topography typical of icebergs has allowed us to confirm these are indeed icebergs. The new iceberg A-70 is located at 72° 21' South, 59° 39' West and measures 8 nautical miles on its longest axis and 5 nautical miles on its widest axis. The new iceberg A-71 is located at 72° 31' South, 59° 31' West and measures 8 nautical miles on its longest axis and 3 nautical miles on its widest axis. A-70 and A-71 were first spotted by USNIC Ice Analyst Michael Lowe and confirmed by USNIC Ice Analyst Chris Readinger using the Sentinel-1A image shown below. Iceberg names are derived from the Antarctic quadrant in which they were originally sighted. The quadrants are divided counter-clockwise in the following manner: A = 0-90W (Bellingshausen/Weddell Sea) C = 180-90E (Western Ross Sea/Wilkesland) B = 90W-180 (Amundsen/Eastern Ross Sea) D = 90E-0 (Amery/Eastern Weddell Sea) When first sighted, an iceberg’s point of origin is documented by USNIC.

For this reason, undergraduate anthropology students are consistently among the top of their class at UT. Among the high-flying achievers this year was Sierra Roark, who received her BA in anthropology at UT in 2016. Sierra was one of three UT students highly commended in The Undergraduate Awards and traveled to Ireland to receive award. Anthropology major Daniel Ford was among the top five graduates in the entire UT College of Arts and Sciences. Daniel is a marketing research analyst at Shelton Group in downtown Knoxville, a leading United States marketing communications firm, where he worked during his college career. Biological anthropology doctoral student Alexandra Emmons, teaming up with Shawn Campagna, professor of chemistry, received a $5,000 grant from the Office of Research to study “Skeletal DNA Degradation through Bone Metabolomics.” The project combines the latest DNA sequencing techniques with mass spectrometry in order to identify microbial communities in human bone by the bio-molecules they produce.

Moctezuma-Flores (mmoctezuma@fi-b.unam.mx) Abstract. A methodology for examining a temporal sequence of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images as applied to the detection of the A-68 iceberg and its drifting trajectory, is presented. Using an improved image processing scheme, the analysis covers a period of eighteen months and makes use of a set of Sentinel-1 images. A-68 iceberg calved from the Larsen C ice shelf in July 2017 and is one of the largest icebergs observed by remote sensing on record. After the calving, there was only a modest 5 decrease in the area (about 1%) in the first six months. It has been drifting along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula and it is expected to continue its path for more than a decade. It is important to track the huge A-68 iceberg to retrieve information on the physics of iceberg dynamics and for maritime security reasons. Two relevant problems are addressed by the image processing scheme presented here: (a) How to achieve quasi-automatic analysis using a fuzzy logic approach to image contrast enhancement, and (b) Adoption of ferromagnetic concepts to define a stochastic segmentation.
