Challenging the paradigms established by S. Dey et al. – Community of European Solar Radio Astronomers

Polarization measurements of solar radio emissions are key diagnostics of coronal plasma, magnetic fields, and propagation effects, and can provide additional constraints on emission mechanisms. At meter wavelengths, circular polarization (CP) has long been exploited in solar radio studies, while linear polarization (LP) was assumed to be absent. This view arose from the expectation that…

One of the most complete human ancestors ever found is not who we thought he was

In 1998, researchers discovered one of the most complete human ancestral fossils known in South Africa’s Sterkfontein Caves. Nearly two decades later, Ronald Clarke, the paleoanthropologist who led the excavation and analysis, identified the remains as a Australopithecus prometheuswhile others argued that it was a African Australopithecus. New research suggests it’s neither. In investigation Published…

2006 IPCC guidelines may change national greenhouse gas inventories

Under the Paris agreement, each country must provide a reliable inventory of greenhouse gas emissions to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) using guidance provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Under the Enhanced Transparency Framework, each country must apply the 2006 IPCC guidelines to complete greenhouse gas inventories. The…
