Forster, Richard R. | Initial in situ measurements of perennial meltwater storage in the Greenland firn aquifer | A perennial storage of water in a firn aquifer was discovered in southeast Greenland in 2011. We present the first in situ measurements of the aquifer, including densities and temperatures. Water was present at depths between ~12 and 37m and amounted to 18.7 ± 0.9 kg in the extracted core. The wate... | | 2014-01-01 |

Malloy, Thomas E.; Jensen, Gary C. | Emergence of dynamic form through phase relations in dynamic systems | Gregory Bateson construes mental process as the flow and transforms of differences in a system. Stuart Kauffman uses NK Boolean systems to model the emergence of order in biological evolution. Because the Boolean base (0, 1) maps to Bateson's idea of difference, we simulate Bateson's epistemology wi... | Systems; Psychology; Models | 2005-10-24 |

Forster, Richard R. | Ice surface morphology and flow on Malaspina Glacier, Alaska: Implications for regional tectonics in the Saint Elias orogen | The Saint Elias Mountains in southern Alaska are located at a structural syntaxis where the coastal thrust and fold belt of the Fairweather plate boundary intersects thrust faults and folds generated by collision of the Yakutat Terrane. The axial trace of this syntaxis extends southeastward out of t... | | 2014-01-01 |

Forster, Richard R. | Summer melt regulates winter glacier flow speeds throughout Alaska | Predicting how climate change will affect glacier and ice sheet flow speeds remains a large hurdle toward accurate sea level rise forecasting. Increases in surface melt rates are known to accelerate glacier flow in summer, whereas in winter, flow speeds are believed to be relatively invariant. Here ... | | 2013-01-01 |

McDaniel, Susan | Sexual harassment in Canadian academe: explorations of power and privilege | Sexual harassment is one of the ways in which women in academe experience inequities. Knowledge about and understanding of sexual harassment is increasing, perhaps even dramatically. Empirical research on sexual harassment in Canada, and particularly in the universities, is an important contributor... | Intimidation; Authority; Powerlessness | 1991 |

Forster, Richard R. | Effects of bedrock lithology and subglacial till on the motion of Ruth Glacier, Alaska, deduced from five pulses from 1973 to 2012 | A pulse is a type of unstable glacier flow intermediate between normal flow and surging. Using Landsat MSS, TM and ETM+ imagery and feature-tracking software, a time series of mostly annual velocity maps from 1973 to 2012 was produced that reveals five pulses of Ruth Glacier, Alaska. Peaks in ice ve... | | 2014-01-01 |

Fogel, Alan Dale | Expressing affection and love to young children | Few people would seriously contest the proposition that children need love. The belief that children thrive on love is not universal, but in our western culture it has become the foundation for the work of educators and parents (Kagan, 1978). Yet, for all of our certainty about the principle, the p... | Expressing affection | 1980 |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Hrdlič̌ka's Aleutian population-replacement hypothesis: a radiometric evaluation | In a 1945 monograph, Hrdlička argued that, at 1,000 BP, Paleo-Aleut people on Umnak Island were replaced by Neo-Aleut groups moving west along the island chain. His argument was based on cranial measurements of skeletal remains from Chaluka Midden and mummified remains from Kagamil and Ship Rock b... | Population replacement; Paleo-Aleuts; Neo-Aleuts | 2006 |

Smith, Ken R. | Double impact: what sibling data can tell us about the long-term negative effects of parental divorce | Most prior research on the adverse consequences of parental divorce has analyzed only one child per family. As a result, it is not known whether the same divorce affects siblings differently. We address this issue by analyzing paired sibling data from the 1994 General Social Survey (GSS) and 1994 Su... | Divorce; Siblings; Educational attainment; Marital stability | 2003 |
