Landfills: is wetter better?

Five men with advanced breast cancer were treated with aminoglutethimide (AG) plus replacement dose hydrocortisone. None of the 4 patients with intact testes responded, although 3 did so subsequently to tamoxifen. The previously orchidetomised patient responded to amminoglutethimide for 14 months. Oestrone and oestradiol were suppressed by AG in all patients, but not to the levels achieved by o...

Nitrous oxide emissions are enhanced in a warmer and wetter world.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) has a global warming potential that is 300 times that of carbon dioxide on a 100-y timescale, and is of major importance for stratospheric ozone depletion. The climate sensitivity of N2O emissions is poorly known, which makes it difficult to project how changing fertilizer use and climate will impact radiative forcing and the ozone layer. Analysis of 6 y of hourly N2O mixing...

Gutes Wetter für die Landwirtschaft: Agrarmeteorologische Beratung mit der Visualisierungssoftware NinJo

NinJo ist eines der weltweit größten meteorologischen Visualisierungssysteme. Die Software wird seit 2007 operationell in der Wetterberatung eingesetzt. Für die agrarmeteorologische Beratung im Deutschen Wetterdienst (DWD) wurde für NinJo eine Komponente zur Visualisierung agrarmeteorologischer Daten entwickelt, der sogenannte AMBER-Layer. Dieser Artikel stellt den AMBERLayer innerhalb des Gesa...

Widespread surface weathering on early Mars: A case for a warmer and wetter climate

Early Mars (>3 Ga) underwent aqueous alteration as evidenced by fluvial/lacustrine morphologies and the recent discovery of widespread hydrous clays. Despite compelling evidence for diverse and localized aqueous environments, the possibility for sustained liquid water globally on the martian surface and over geological timescales is still highly debated. Instead, a durably cold and dry Mars sce...
