Nuclear War: Its Environmental Impact
This paper examines the widespread environmental effects, sensu stricto, that would result from a large-scale nuclear war and the resultant ecological impacts. Singled out for analysis are the…
TRACE-ACID ION CONTENT OF SHALLOW SNOW AND ICE CORES
An historical record of the deposition of common acids is contained in snow and ice cores taken from suitable sites in the accumulation zone of certain glaciers. Spatial and time-series data sets for…
Bright water: hydrosols, water conservation and climate change

Because air–water and water–air interfaces are equally refractive, cloud droplets and microbubbles dispersed in bodies of water reflect sunlight in much the same way. The lifetime of…
Experiments on mixotrophic protists and catastrophic darkness.
Catastrophically darkened photic zone conditions in water bodies are postulated to be induced by a diversity of mechanisms that are recorded in the geological record, including asteroid and comet…
Polar Winter: A Biological Model for Impact Events and Related Dark/Cold Climatic Changes
Models of the climatic perturbation caused by a large scale extraterrestrial impact predict an injection of dust into the stratosphere. This would cause the onset of environmental conditions whose…
Boreal Forests—The Focal Habitats of Fennoscandia
This chapter deals with the question of maintaining biological diversity in the boreal forests of Fennoscandia, i.e. the Scandinavian Peninsula and Finland. The boreal coniferous forest, or taiga, is…
Landscape ecology and nature reserve design in the boundary waters canoe area, Minnesota
Temporal change in the biosphere occurs at different rates and in different ways, depending on spatial scale. One hypothesis is that in environments where disturbances produce patches and temporal…

Environmental Consequences of Nuclear War
As the end of the century approaches, humanity is seeking a broader, deeper sense of security. In this context the voice of the international scientific community must be clearly articulated in order…

Nuclear Winter: Global Consequences of Multple Nuclear Explosions
TLDR
The potential global atmospheric and climatic consequences of nuclear war are investigated using models previously developed to study the effects of volcanic eruptions, finding long-term exposure to cold, dark, and radioactivity could pose a serious threat to human survivors and to other species.
Global atmospheric effects of massive smoke injections from a nuclear war: results from general circulation model simulations
We report three-dimensional calculations of regional and global climatic effects of smoke generated by a large-scale nuclear war. Tropospheric aerosols of absorption optical depth 3, when injected…
