Although Hilma af Klint's (1862 — 1944) works were completed in the first decades of the 20th century, they still manage to appear surprisingly radical, abstract, large - scale and mysterious, with an unusual colour palette for their time.

The scale of his work has also played a part; the reputation of Abstract Expressionism was tied to that great American value that bigger is better — in terms both of scale of works and gesture, yet until his last decade (with a group of large paintings exhibited here for the first time) Lewis primarily produced easel paintings created with small marks.

Still, the blue field of Notre Dame, the few black lines, and the vertical just short of human scale make me think decades ahead to a painting with a similar title but more than five times as wide.

The Arctic sea ice is rapidly disappearing with a time scale of years rather than decades, and it is becoming increasingly likely that the with the Greenland ice sheet will also collapse rapidly.

But there remains far too much natural variability in the frequency and potency of rare and powerful storms — on time scales from decades to centuries — to go beyond pointing to this event being consistent with what's projected on a human - heated planet.

Working with Yonkers officials and residents, we put together a plan that resulted in the creation of a reasonably scaled development — Collins Phase I — that includes a mix of housing, commercial space and a five - acre linear park and esplanade that has lured the public down to the city's riverfront for the first time in decades.

The terrestrial biosphere can respond slowly to large, regional - scale forcing, but may not always be in equilibrium with that forcing at any point in time, leading to subsequent commitments to significant future change for decades or centuries following stabilization of forcing.»

If the models show a lack of skill and need tuning with respect to predicting (in hindcast) even the current climate statistics on multi-decadal time scales (much less than CHANGES in climate statistics), they are not ready to be used as robust projection tools for the coming decades.

''... worked with two sediment cores they extracted from the seabed of the eastern Norwegian Sea, developing a 1000 - year proxy temperature record «based on measurements of δ18O in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a planktonic foraminifer that calcifies at relatively shallow depths within the Atlantic waters of the eastern Norwegian Sea during late summer,» which they compared with the temporal histories of various proxies of concomitant solar activity... This work revealed, as the seven scientists describe it, that «the lowest isotope values (highest temperatures) of the last millennium are seen ~ 1100 - 1300 A.D., during the Medieval Climate Anomaly, and again after ~ 1950 A.D.» In between these two warm intervals, of course, were the colder temperatures of the Little Ice Age, when oscillatory thermal minima occurred at the times of the Dalton, Maunder, Sporer and Wolf solar minima, such that the δ18O proxy record of near - surface water temperature was found to be «robustly and near - synchronously correlated with various proxies of solar variability spanning the last millennium,» with decade - to century - scale temperature variability of 1 to 2 °C magnitude.»

Several analyses of ring width and ring density chronologies, with otherwise well - established sensitivity to temperature, have shown that they do not emulate the general warming trend evident in instrumental temperature records over recent decades, although they do track the warming that occurred during the early part of the 20th century and they continue to maintain a good correlation with observed temperatures over the full instrumental period at the interannual time scale (Briffa et al., 2004; D'Arrigo, 2006).
