Sentences with phrase «as volcanic explosions»

Led by Dr. James E. Hansen from 1981 to 2013, research at GISS emphasized a broad study of global change, which is an interdisciplinary initiative addressing natural and man - made changes in our environment that occur on various time scales — from one - time forcings such as volcanic explosions, to seasonal / annual effects such as El Niño, and on up to the millennia of ice ages — and that affect the habitability of our planet.

Not exact matches

Infrasound signals can remain strong as they travel over large distances, making them useful for pinpointing the location and size of events such as nuclear explosions, meteorite strikes, volcanic eruptions and sometimes earthquake ruptures.

Seismic waves can be generated naturally, during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, for example, or by artificial means such as explosions.

Volcanic explosions can produce these low - frequency acoustic waves, as well as events such as meteors entering Earth's atmosphere, and even chemical or nuclear explosions.

Giant lateral collapses are rather common events during the evolution of a large volcanic edifice, often with dramatic consequences such as tsunami and volcano explosions.

I consider it as very likely that the 20 year trends will still be statistically significant also in three, five or ten years from now, unless there is some strong volcanic explosion that blows a lot of reflecting aerosols in the stratosphere causing a temporary temperature dip, or some other cause the effect of which is explainable within the framework of current knowledge about the climate system, but as event not really predictable.

* the break is not at the right date: there is no theoretical break around 1940 where the observations obviously seem to break, and there is no clear observed feature around 1963 (Agung explosion) where the model break — actually none of the volcanic eruptions shows a distinctive feature, as significative as in the models.

These are such events as fire or smoke, lightning, windstorm or hail, volcanic eruption, snow, weight of ice, vandalism, theft, explosion, water damage from plumbing, and damage caused by falling objects.
