Emily's Arctic Adventure: Guess who’s back (and I don’t mean me)


Emily is up North again! Read her blog posts from the top of the world, Eureka, Nunavut: arctic-emily.blogspot.com. Today’s post is about seeing an old friend from Eureka who has moved on to a better place.

 


A Puzzling Collapse of Earth's Upper Atmosphere - NASA Science



Media_httpsciencenasa_xnliu


Interesting synopsis of a recent Emmert et al paper in Geophys. Res. Lett. My bet is changes in upper atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are probably not the answer (as the authors also state). I'm wondering if we are over estimating the amount of EUV flux, and that the Sun is just being particularly lazy this cycle (hence the low spot numbers, etc). Thoughts?

AMAZING! Homemade spacecraft sends back limb images from the stratosphere.

Luke Geissbuhler and crew developed a small payload to allow video to be sent back from a balloon. They managed to fly into the stratosphere and image the limb. Plus they successfully recovered the payload. You folks are awesome!

Feature of the Week: Conferator - a ubiquitous, BibSonomy-based conference service



Media_httpwwwkdecsuni_giejo


BibSonomy is a way awesome way for your research group to share a publication database, particularly if you like to use bibtex. Highly recommended and free. This short article gives a glimpse of the future of networking at conferences, and finally I will be able to remember who I talked to about what!
