Dr Nancy Chabot and Dr Carolyn Ernst of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and Ariel Deutsch at Brown University, use data from NASA’s MESSENGER mission to understand how much ice exists on Mercury and how it may have arrived there.

A. Teodoro3 1Institute for Computational Cosmology, Department of Physics, Durham University, Science Laboratories, South Road, Durham DH1 3LE, U.K. 2Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, MD 20723, U.S.A. 3BAER, Planetary Systems Branch, Space Science and Astrobiology Division, MS: 245-3, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000, U.S.A. 17 November 2016 ABSTRACT An estimate is made of the thickness of the radar-bright deposits in craters near to Mer- cury’s north pole. To construct an objective set of craters for this measurement, an automated crater finding algorithm is developed and applied to a digital elevation model based on data from the Mercury Laser Altimeter onboard the MESSENGER spacecraft. This produces a catalogue of 663 craters with diameters exceeding 4 km, northwards of latitude +55◦. A sub- set of 12 larger, well-sampled and fresh polar craters are selected to search for correlations between topography and radar same-sense backscatter cross-section. It is found that the typ- ical excess height associated with the radar-bright regions within these fresh polar craters is (50 ± 35) m. This puts an approximate upper limit on the total polar water ice deposits on Mercury of ∼ 3 × 1015 kg. 1 INTRODUCTION was that there was multiple scattering occurring within a low-loss medium such as water ice (Hapke 1990; Hagfors et al.

Abstract: Measurements of cores or disc samples representing slightly more than 76,000 annual rings from 336 western white pine tree were compiled to obtain a set of deviations from normal growth of healthy trees that would express the response of these trees to variation in the environment during the last 280 years. Their growth was demonstrated to be a function of temperature and available moisture for the period of climatic record from 1912 to 1958. Extrapolating the relation of growth to weather to the long tree ring record of western white pine, we find that the period 1916—40 represents the most adverse growth conditions with regard to intensity and duration in the last 280 years. This drought, superimposed on sites having severe moisture—stress characteristics, triggered the chain of events which ultimately resulted in pole blight. If the unfavorable conditions for growth during 1916—40 do not represent a shift to a new climatic mean and if western white pine is regenerated only on sites with low moisture—stress characteristics, the probability is high that pole blight will not reoccur for many centuries in stands regenerated from this date on.

Introduction: Earth-based radar observations re- tracks. If these small craters pre-dated ice emplacement, vealed highly reflective deposits at the poles of Mercury then the infilled material can constrain the thickness of [e.g., 1], which collocate with permanently shadowed the ice within them. We suggest that the small craters regions (PSRs) detected from both imagery and altime- were formed before the ice was delivered to these re- try by the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEo- gions because albedo variations are not correlated with chemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft the small craters, and there is no evidence for ejecta, [e.g., 2]. MESSENGER also measured higher hydrogen although this could be a resolution effect of the images. concentrations at the north polar region, consistent with Depth-to-diameter ratios. Measurements were taken models for these deposits to be composed primarily of of the diameters of any craters that are visible in the water ice [3]. permanently shadowed, radar-bright deposits.

II Résumé De nombreux et divers micro-organismes vivent dans les tissus interne et externe des feuilles des plantes, la phyllosphère. Ils influencent de nombreux traits, les interactions bio- tiques, le flux d’énergie, la tolérance au stress de leur hôte et en fin de compte la valeur sélec- tive de leurs hôtes. Il a été montré que plusieurs traits quantitatifs de plantes structurent la communauté microbienne de la phyllosphère. Ainsi des Loci de ces traits quantitatifs (Quantitative Trait Loci QTL) liés à la structure de cette communauté étaient attendus. L’objectif principal de ce travail était de rechercher des régions génomiques chez le chêne (Quercus robur L.), dont l’effet se prolonge jusqu’au niveau de la communauté, influencant ainsi le microbiote de la phyllosphère.
