Grim reaper or gentle giants?
Therizinosaurs were some of the true freaks of the dinosaur world. I mean that in the nicest possible way for something that looked like the sick offspring of a giant chicken and Freddie Kruger.

Here’s this year’s highly commended entry by Matthias Buschmann… Svalbard’s stunning …[Read More]
EGU 2014: Measuring aerosol climate impacts from Space
In order to understand past climate change and to better project future changes, we need to understand how humans disturbed the radiative balance of our planet. Aerosols are one component of this disruption. The final report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) physical science basis concluded that aerosols dominate the uncertainty in the total anthropogenic radiative forcing. …[Read More]
