Took a walk with Jane up the Spring Creek Trail, mild day. There was a little Erodium in bloom! Mild winter so far. Antarctica continued next page. Antarctica January 27-February 21, 2000 with Gray and David Hampton General notes. Antarctica is the least known part of the planet, at least above ground and water. The continent is 98% covered with ice, up to 10,000 feet thick. The bedrock under the ice is mostly in East Antarctica. Most of West Antarctica is really below sea level. If the ice melted, it would be reduced to three islands, though if the ice melted the water would rise substantially all over the world and it is somewhat difficult to say where sea level would be. Around 70% of the world's fresh water is here, iced up, over tens of thousands of years, though the continent averages only about a foot of snow a year, some of it crystallizing out of thin, clear air. Another source says 90% of world's fresh water is ice, and 90% of ice in world is in Antarctic, and 80% of fresh water in world is here. East Antarctica is pre-Cambrian granites, somewhat like the Canadian Shield. There is a range of Trans-Antarctic mountains, sedimentary rocks from the Cambrian. West Antarctic has sedimentaries from the Permian to Devonian/Cretaceous, folded and faulted. These are really a continuation of the Andes. The Scotia Arc goes under the Drake Passage. Much of the Ice Sheet is featureless. The annual precipitation in the interior of the continent is less than in the Sahara. Elliott, p. 104 Ice accumulates about one foot or so a year. Ice pressures forces an ice creep of perhaps 30 feet a year. Most flows a few meters a year down deeper into the ice sheet and out toward the margins. Glacier ice reaches the sea and starts to float and breaks away, and floats off. This is the origin of all the icebergs. At several places, a number of glaciers flow together and into the sea and make up an ice shelf, such as the Ross Ice Shelf. The average annual temperature is - 10o C = + 14o F The record low temperature is -89.2o C = - 128.6o F, recorded July 21, 1983 at Vostok. Arctic means "bear". The North Pole star was in the constellation, Ursa Minor, the Small Bear. "Vostok" means "east" in Russian, as in Vladivostok. Antarctica is substantially colder than comparable latitudes north. The white continent reflects 90% of solar radiation, while in the Arctic, the dark polar water absorbs a lot of heat. The south magnetic pole is over water now, though earlier it was over ice. The south magnetic pole has shifted 800 km. in less than a century. Campbell, Crystal Desert, p. 197 There are two Longterm Ecological Research project sites in Antarctica. One on the Antarctic peninsula. The other is in McMurdo Dry Valleys, one of the few areas in Antarctica where the geology is exposed and where unique microorganisms have evolved. Of interest because here life approaches its environmental limits. The Dry Valleys in Victoria Land are ice free valleys. The land at their heads is high and blocks the ice, and the climate today is too dry to generate glaciers. The U.S. program is at three places. 1. Palmer station, which we later passed. 2. McMurdo, which we visited. 3. South Pole station. Lake Vostok is the largest, deepest lake in Antarctica, about the size of Lake Ontario. The lake is fresh, liquid water under a layer of ice three to four kilometers thick, isolated from the atmosphere for a million years. There are several liquid lakes in Antarctica. High pressure may keep the water liquid at higher temperatures. No drilling has yet penetrated to the water, but drilling has found bacteria in ice close to the lake, indicating that the lake is a microbial ecosystem, life at its limiting extremes. Some think the ice-water environments on Jupiter's moons Europa and Callisto may be similar; life in one might be some evidence for possible life in the other. The Russians have stopped drilling, lest they contaminate the lake with the freon and aviation fuel they use as antifreeze when drilling. Vincent, Warwick F., "Icy Life on a Hidden Lake," Science 286(1999):2094-2095, and accompanying articles. On hand. Antarctic Treaty, 1959, originally 12 signatories, now signed on to by 38 nations representing 90% of the world's peoples. Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties (ATCP's). Though see later. Seven nations have made territorial claims. Three agreements subsequently: (1) Agreed Measures on Conservation of Antarctic Fauna and Flora, 1964. (2) Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals, 1972, CCAS, Pronounced C Cass. (3) Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, 1980. CCAMLR. Pronounced Cam Lar Convention on the Regulation of Antarctic Mineral Resource Activities. CRAMRA. Pronounced C Ram Rah. Mineral activities were to be safe, clean, and monitored. But this one never passed. The Australians and French vetoed it, and it led to: The Madrid Protocol. Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, 1991. This requires a comprehensive environmental evaluation (CEE) in Annex I, and Article 85 of the Protocol, for tourist groups. This is an example of the difficulties of securing environmental protection in a decentralized world of sovereign states. The Treaty privileges economic and political interests over environmental ones. State-oriented, competitive, zero-sum game. Other actions besides states might have more say, such as scientific groups, or environmentalist groups. precautionary principle intergenerational equity. the challenge of an alien landscape the crystal desert Antarctica is no environment for which I am likely to have any hardwired biophilia.

    1 This letter was written by Bernard Leo Tonry Sr. of NY. Born in Drumfin, County, Sligo, Ireland at the 12 mile house on the old Boyle to Sligo Road, and died in NY. (12/04/1908 - 05/28/1993) Typed by his daughter Eileen Tonry in 1977. retyped by John James Tonry 02/2000 to this format Sent to me by Ruthann (Tonry) Roberts of Tulsa,Ok. A cousin. Hand written above typing "This to you I dedicate in your quest-for history of your family. (?) May you find some information from (?) it. I don't think (2 more words not readable) Really old Ben." Note (?) means I guessed I have 50/50 chance of being right or wrong. JJT Started this Columbus Day October 10,1997 To begin with,as a sort of introduction to what may follow, maybe a thousand times , I have through of leaving behind me a simple account of my life as I remember it. Someday some of my grandchildren may get enjoyment out of my Jottings. For me or anyone else to try and remember and put into detail all that has happened since early childhood to the present creates a challenge to a failing sense of memory. To my children and grandchildren I dedicate this crude but true account of all that I can possibly remember of this long distant account of years gone by. This story if you may call it of my past up to present is being told by the writer, Grandpa Tonry, better known as Ben, the second youngest of twin boys in a family of eleven, leaving a sister younger than I.

  • Studies on the Relationships of the Curie Surface with Heat Flow And
    Wen et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2019) 71:85 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-019-1063-1 FULL PAPER Open Access Studies on the relationships of the Curie surface with heat fow and crustal structures in Yunnan Province, China, and its adjacent areas Limin Wen, Guofa Kang, Chunhua Bai and Guoming Gao* Abstract A Curie surface indicates the distribution of the thermal felds underground, providing a clear marker for the thermo- dynamic efect in the crust and mantle. In this paper, based on a geomagnetic feld model (NGDC-720) and aeromag- netic data, we use power spectrum analysis of magnetic anomalies to estimate the Curie surface in Yunnan Province, China, and its adjacent areas. By combining the distribution of the Curie surface with regional heat fow, the geo- thermal gradient, crustal wave velocity ratio anomalies, high-conductivity layer anomalies, and the Moho surface, we reveal the connection between the undulation of the magnetic basement and the crustal structures. The results indi- cate that the uplift and depression of the Curie surface in the research area are distinct. The Curie surface is approxi- mately inversely correlated to the surface heat fow. The Lijiang-Jianchuan-Baoshan-Tengchong and Jianchuan- Chux- iong- Kunming-Yuxi zones are two Curie surface uplift zones, and their crust-mantle heat fows are relatively high. The Curie surface uplift zone along the Lijiang-Xiaojinhe fault and Red River fault is consistent with the heading direction of the fault zone and is partially in agreement with the eastward mass fow of the Tibetan Plateau. The Curie surface uplift zone is consistent with the high wave velocity ratio and high-conductivity layer anomaly region of the crust.

Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218. ([email protected]) 7Department of Physics & Astronomy, 1408 Circle Drive, Knoxville, TN 37996. ([email protected]) ABSTRACT The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will allow observations with a unique combination of spectral, spatial, and temporal resolution for the study of outer planet satellites within our Solar System. We highlight the infrared spectroscopy of icy moons and temporal changes on geologically active satellites as two particularly valuable avenues of scientific inquiry. While some care must be taken to avoid saturation issues, JWST has observation modes that should provide excellent infrared data for such studies. KEYWORDS Solar System Astronomical Techniques 1. Introduction Starting in 2018, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to provide a groundbreaking new tool for astronomical observations, including planetary satellites as close as Phobos and Deimos.

    Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Mass of the Kuiper Belt E. V. Pitjeva · N. P. Pitjev Received: 13 December 2017 / Accepted: 24 August 2018 The final publication ia available at Springer via http://doi.org/10.1007/s10569-018-9853-5 Abstract The Kuiper belt includes tens of thousands of large bodies and millions of smaller objects. The main part of the belt objects is located in the annular zone between 39.4 au and 47.8 au from the Sun, the boundaries correspond to the average distances for orbital resonances 3:2 and 2:1 with the motion of Neptune. One-dimensional, two-dimensional, and discrete rings to model the total gravitational attraction of numerous belt objects are consid- ered. The discrete rotating model most correctly reflects the real interaction of bodies in the Solar system. The masses of the model rings were determined within EPM2017—the new version of ephemerides of planets and the Moon at IAA RAS—by fitting spacecraft ranging observations. The total mass of the Kuiper belt was calculated as the sum of the masses of the 31 largest trans-neptunian objects directly included in the simultaneous integration and the estimated mass of the model of the discrete ring of TNO. The total mass −2 is (1.97 ± 0.30) · 10 m⊕. The gravitational influence of the Kuiper belt on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune exceeds at times the attraction of the hypothetical 9th planet with a mass of ∼ 10 m⊕ at the distances assumed for it.

    Big Boulder lakes Boulder-White Cloud Mountains Date Oct. 1-3, 2014 Time Location Big Boulder Lakes – Challis, ID Weather Clear & cold but very windy Fish Species Westslope Cutthroat, Grayling Size Range Potentially 18” or bigger Fish Caught 1 Westslope Cuthroat – The wind curtailed my fishing efforts and so I explored Flies Used Elk Hair Caddis, Pheasant Tail Nymph Techniques Dry fly, stripping nymphs Comments Some of the best scenery in Idaho! I cannot confirm the big fish stories. See additional photos of the Boulder-White Cloud Mountains: https://www.flickr.com/photos/120225686@N06/sets/72157648089810649 See trip video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Xsska2XlU When I think of big fish in alpine lakes in Idaho – I think of the Big Boulder Lakes. I’ve seen photos and heard several reports that the fishing is excellent for big Cutthroat. Unfortunately, the relentless wind made the wind chill unbearable and I was relegated to bundling up and bagging a couple of peaks instead. But trust me – I have no regrets! The scenery is spectacular and possibly my favorite in Idaho. The Boulder-White Cloud Mountains are part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. The fight has continued for decades to designate the Boulder-White Clouds a Wilderness Area. I personally think it rivals the Sawtooths as my favorite backpacking destination in Idaho and I’ve set foot in most mountain ranges save a few in the panhandle. A view near the lower section of trail on the way to Walker Lake Itinerary Wednesday – Drive 4 hours from Boise; less than a mile hike to Jimmy Smith Lake; Backpack 6 to 7 miles to Walker Lake (camp).
