Orbital forcing of the climate system is clearly shown in the Earths record of glacial–interglacial cycles, but the mechanism underlying this forcing is poorly understood. Traditional Milankovitch theory suggests that these cycles are driven by changes in ...
Version-4 of the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-4) General Circulation Model (GCM) was employed to assess the influence of potential changes in aerosols on the regional circulation, ambient temperatures, and precipitation in four selected regions: In ...
Thermal variability of the coefficient of the critical state, or the angle of internal friction is examined in view of experimental results obtained for clays and hard rocks. This sensitivity has several implications for the evolution of what is considered ...

Les différentes zones d’un ouvrage d’art routier sont étudiées en fonction de leur degré d’exposition au microclimat environnant. Les conditions climatiques provenant de stations météorologiques et la cinétique des véhicules permettent de définir des zones ...
We report the fabrication of silicon microcantilevers with MOSFET detection, to be used in force measurements for biomolecular detection. Thin cantilevers are required for a high force sensitivity. Therefore the source and drain of the transistors have bee ...
Over the past 10 years, there has been a growing debate about the relative importance of late-Quaternary variations in climate and CO2 as drivers of changes in vegetation structure. In this study, we compare new datasets of pollen-reconstructed leaf area i ...
We present a sample of i(775)-dropout candidates identified in five Hubble Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) fields centered on Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) at redshift z similar to 6. Our fields are as deep as the GOODS ACS images ...
Various areas of a highway structure are studied regarding their level of exposure to the surrounding microclimate. Climate conditions from meteorological stations and vehicle kinetics are used to determine zones that are exposed to salt products and clima ...
Climate Modelling is a complex task. One of the most important reasons is the presence of a large variety of spatio-temporal scales. There are climatic changes that take place over a time period of a few months and then there are gusts which might last onl ...
AquaTerra is one of the first environmental projects within the 6th Framework programme by the European Commission. It began in June 2004 with a multidisciplinary team of 45 partner organizations from 13 EU countries, Switzerland, Serbia, Romania and Monte ...
