The accumulated volume of flood water was used to estimate the average rate of water accumulation in the subglacial lakes during the last decade as 6 Gl (6·106 m3) per month for the lake below the western cauldron and 9 Gl per month for the eastern caul- dron. Data on water accumulation and lake water composition in the western cauldron were used to estimate the power of the underlying geothermal area as ∼550 MW. For a jökulhlaup from the Western Skaftá cauldron in September 2006, the low- ering of the ice cover overlying the subglacial lake, the discharge in Skaftá and the temperature of the flood water close to the glacier margin were measured. The dis- charge from the subglacial lake during the jökulhlaup was calculated using a hypso- metric curve for the subglacial lake, estimated from the form of the surface cauldron after jökulhlaups. The maximum outflow from the lake during the jökulhlaup is esti- mated as 123 m3 s−1 while the maximum discharge of jökulhlaup water at the glacier terminus is estimated as 97 m3 s−1.

  • Becoming-The-Iceman.Pdf
    FOREWORD Becoming the Iceman is a project inspired by Wim and Justin to show the world that anyone can adopt the ability to become an Ice- man or Icewoman. The project’s goal is to show that the ability to control the body’s temperature is not a genetic defect in Wim, but an ability that can be adopted by anyone. For many generations, we have been taught to fear the cold: “Don’t forget your jacket! You don’t want hypothermia, do you?” “Put your gloves on before you get frostbite!” Of course, these are consequences of extreme cold exposure, but with the proper understanding, anyone can learn to use the cold as a natural teacher. You may have seen Wim running around on television, barefoot in the snow or swimming in ice-cold waters. While he is doing those incredible feats, he isn’t worried about how cold it is; he is enjoying himself. Like any new tool, you must understand how it works before you can use it efficiently. This pertains to the cold as well. Wim is the epitome of what can happen if someone uses the cold to train the body. You might ask, “How can you prove that anyone can learn this ability?” We’re glad you asked… As of Fall 2009, Justin Rosales had no experience with the cold whatsoever. He was a college student attending Penn State Univer- sity. After Justin’s friend, Jarrett, showed him one of Wim’s videos on YouTube, they became exceedingly interested in understanding this ability. They wanted to see if it was possible for anyone to learn.

  • Project # Category
    Project # J0101 Category: Animal Biology - Jr Student: Amy Figueroa Grade: 8 G: F School: South Gate Middle School Title: Anemon-EATS My question is, "How can temperature change affect the eating habits of Actiniaria?" In my experiment, I feed Actiniaria in different seawater temperatures. The temperatures were 7,13, and 22 degrees Celsius. My hypothesis is: If the water temperature is lower than 13°C, the anemones will consume more to maintain their body temperatures. If my hypothesis is supported, this will emphasize the importance of protecting the planet. Global warming is not just warming the Earth but it is causing the Earth to experience extreme temperatures. There is a higher chance of consuming plastic with harmful chemicals that were not intended for digesting if they eat more. With higher water temperatures, body temperatures will also rise, meaning anemones will eat less. The independent variables of my experiment are the water temperatures. The dependent factors are my recorded data points which is how long it takes for them to react to food. All throughout my experiment, I kept the food and timer the same so I could get reliable data. I fed and timed them 50 different times in each water treatment. I saw the anemones react quicker in lower temperatures. This supports my hypothesis. A factor that could have affected my results was that some anemones might have not been hungry. I also observed the anemones had a delayed reaction in the warmest temperature. My experiment can be expanded in many ways but this will provide so much information on the effect of temperature change on the eating habits of Actiniaria.

A small, ice-rich body of permafrost was documented in the early 1970’s. The role, extent, and fate of this permafrost in the 21st century was unknown. We have investigated the state of the ​ permafrost with methods that involve minimal disturbance to the environment: temperature data loggers, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), ground penetrating radar (GPR), and infrared imaging, supplemented with satellite observations, model calculations, and the survey of rare literature. The study resulted in the characterization of four bodies of perennial water or ice in the Maunakea summit region: permafrost in Puʻuwēkiu and Puʻuhaukea, the vicinity of Lake Waiau, and Pu‘upōhaku Pond. Nearly half a century after their discovery in 1969, two ice-rich bodies are still present, but the one in Puʻuwēkiu has retreated all around; its volume has shrunk by an order of magnitude and the remaining ice body is expected to disappear soon.

    When does hot water freeze faster then cold water? A search for the Mpemba effect ͒ James D. Brownridgea Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, State University of New York at Binghamton, P.O. Box 6000, Binghamton, New York 13902-6000 ͑Received 24 February 2010; accepted 26 August 2010͒ It is possible to consistently observe hot water freezing faster than cold water under certain conditions. All conditions except the initial temperature of water specimens must be the same and remain so during cooling, and the cold water must supercool to a temperature significantly lower than the temperature to which the hot water supercools. For hot water at an initial temperature of ϾϷ80 °C and cold water at ϽϷ20 °C, the cold water must supercool to a temperature of at least Ϸ5.5 °C, lower than the temperature to which hot water supercools. With these conditions satisfied, we observed initially hot water freezing before the initially cold water 28 times in 28 attempts. If the cold water does not supercool, it will freeze before the hot water because it always cools to 0 °C first regardless of the initial temperatures. © 2011 American Association of Physics Teachers. ͓DOI: 10.1119/1.3490015͔ I.
