After waking up bright and early, we headed back down the mountains back to Krakow, where unfortunately all the snow had melted.
For example, in this work he took a contemporary office chair, deconstructed an aluminum component of it, melted that aluminum component down, and recast the original Blossfeldt model of the plant using the material from today to hearken back to the original early twentieth - century model.

Wilson (1964); Wilson (1966); Wilson (1969); Wilson's starting - point was the suggestion that the center of Antarctica was at the pressure melting point, see Robin (1962), p. 141, who adds that «one would not expect the ice to surge over a large part of Antarctica at one time»; the role of frictional heat in ice - sheet instability was pointed out back in 1961 (in partial support of Ewing - Donn theory), drawing on earlier work by G.

From the Greenland cores there are two really important considerations; (1) ~ 130k DOES NOT get us back to the start of the last interglacial, from which one can infer that the Greenland sheet may have completely melted away during the inception and early millenia of the Eemian, and (2) the better resolution of Greenland ice (as opposed to Antarctic ice) has repeatedly shown that temperature changes precede CO2 changes.
