Welteislehre ( WEL; "World Ice Theory" or "World Ice Doctrine"), also known as Glazial-Kosmogonie ( Glacial Cosmogony ), is a discredited cosmological concept proposed by Hanns Hörbiger, an Austrian engineer and inventor. According to his ideas, ice was the basic substance of all cosmic processes, and ice moons, ice planets, and the "global ...
^Note 3 : The team that makes the most money each week receives plane tickets and hotel accommodations to return to that week's city, courtesy of sponsor Orbitz. Season 2: 2011. This time around, eight truck teams competed. They all met in Malibu, California, but were immediately sent to Las Vegas, Nevada, to officially start the race.
The World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) was started in 1986, combining the two former services PSFG (Permanent Service on Fluctuations of Glaciers) and TTS/WGI (Temporal Technical Secretary/World Glacier Inventory). It is a service of the International Association of the Cryospheric Sciences of the International Union of Geodesy and ...
Scientists believe they can find a meteor blast in Earth’s history strong enough to change the climate and, as a result, the animals that lived on Earth. Evidence may exist for a comet shockwave ...
The Last Glacial Maximum ( LGM ), also referred to as the Last Glacial Coldest Period, [1] was the most recent time during the Last Glacial Period where ice sheets were at their greatest extent 26,000 and 20,000 years ago. [2] Ice sheets covered much of Northern North America, Northern Europe, and Asia and profoundly affected Earth 's climate ...
Quaternary glaciation. Extent of maximum glaciation (in black) in the Northern Hemisphere during the Pleistocene. The formation of 3 to 4 km (1.9 to 2.5 mi) thick ice sheets equate to a global sea level drop of about 120 m (390 ft) The Quaternary glaciation, also known as the Pleistocene glaciation, is an alternating series of glacial and ...

Free-air gravity anomaly. In geophysics, the free-air gravity anomaly, often simply called the free-air anomaly, is the measured gravity anomaly after a free-air correction is applied to account for the elevation at which a measurement is made. It does so by adjusting these measurements of gravity to what would have been measured at a reference ...
