The processes involved in crust-mantle differentiation makes the Earth as it is nowadays. The scale of this phenomena exceed all human proportions with a time-scale that spans the complete history of Earth and will continue far into the future. Length and depth scales of the crust-mantle processes are immense with respect to human proportions. I feel it to be a honour to work with and attribute to such a important and interesting subject. The scientific debate is firm and spreads over a numerous geological disciplines. In my opinion the most interesting of these disciplines are the petrology and geochemistry. Especially the debate with respect to these disciplines is heated and firm due to new geochemical analytical techniques.

  • Climate Change, Yosemite National Park, California Patrick Gonzalez
    Climate Change, Yosemite National Park, California Patrick Gonzalez Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities have caused global climate change and widespread impacts on physical and ecological systems. To assist in the integration of climate change science into resource management in Yosemite National Park (N.P.), this report presents: (1) results of original spatial analyses of historical and projected climate change trends at 800 m spatial resolution, (2) results of a systematic scientific literature review of historical impacts, future vulnerabilities, and ecosystem carbon, focusing on research conducted in the park, and (3) results of original spatial analyses of ecosystem carbon at 30 m spatial resolution. For the area within park boundaries, average annual temperature from 1950 to 2010 increased at a statistically significant rate of 1.9 ± 0.7ºC (3.4 ± 1.3ºF.) per century (mean ± standard error), with the greatest increase in spring. Total annual precipitation from 1950 to 2010 showed no statistically significant change. Measurements from 1911 to 2015 at the weather station at Hetch Hetchy showed similar trends. Published analyses of field research that includes data from Yosemite N.P. detected changes that have been attributed to human climate change. These impacts include snowpack reductions, advance of spring warrmth, tree dieback, wildfire changes, and upslope shifts of vegetation biomes and small mammal ranges. If the world does not reduce greenhouse gas emissions, projections under the four emissions scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicate annual average temperature increases of up to 4.7 ± 1.0ºC (8.5 ± 1.8º F.) (mean ± standard deviation) from 2000 to 2100 for the park as a whole.
