Identifying the Volcanic Eruption Depicted in a Neolithic Painting at Çatalhöyük, Central Anatolia, Turkey
A mural excavated at the Neolithic Çatalhöyük site (Central Anatolia, Turkey) has been interpreted as the oldest known map.

They are known to impact and explain the variability in climate of many regions across the globe and have been a subject of interest to climatologists. Traditionally, climate teleconnections have been studied as a persistent relationship bet...
متن کاملIn the Beginning, Middle, and End There Was a Garden: Bahram Sadeqi’s Malakut
It seems impossible to think of the Persian art without mentioning the significant presence of gardens. They are present in miniature painting, architecture, and literature.

The story of this novella begins in a “green g...
متن کاملNortheast US precipitation variability and North American climate teleconnections interpreted from late Holocene varved sediments.
A more thorough understanding of regional to hemispheric hydroclimate variability and associated climate patterns is needed in order to validate climate models and project future conditions. In this study, two annually laminated (varved) sediment records spanning the last millennium were analyzed from Rhode Island and New York. Lamination thickness time series from the two locations are signifi...
