Washington [US], June 11 (ANI): Palaeoclimatologists study climate of the geological past. Using an innovative technique, new research by an international research team led by Niels de Winter (VUB-AMGC and Utrecht University) shows for the first time that dinosaurs had to deal with greater seasonal differences than previously thought.
Paleoclimatologist Niels de Winter and colleagues developed an innovative way to use the clumped isotope method to reconstruct climate in the geological past on the seasonal scale. They show that dinosaurs had to deal with hotter summers than previously thought. The results suggest that in the mid latitudes, seasonal temperatures will likely rise along with climate warming, while seasonal difference is maintained. This results in very high summer temperatures.
The CTIF Commission for Firefighters Health works with issues regarding the prevention and compensation of work related cancer, as well as PTSD and other mental health related issues affecting firefighters.
The commission normally meets physically once of twice per year. In its current constellation the Commission met for the first time in late 2019, but has since temporarily due to the Covid-19 pandemic met virtually through online platforms.
The first online meeting of the Commission in 2021 is set for May 4.
One of the primary goals of the Commission is to gain consensus amongst representatives of a wide international community in order to create CTIF recommendations and Best Practices regarding firefighters health which can be adopted as universal, international guidelines.
Predatory Reef Fish Rely on Food Resources from Open Ocean, not from Reef

A Newcastle University-led study has demonstrated that predatory reef fish at the top of the food chain depend on resources from the open ocean rather than from the reef itself.

From Charles Darwin’s era, the abundance of life on coral reefs has remained mysterious, since the majority of the oceanic surface waters in the tropics appear low in nutrients and unproductive.
However, a new study under the guidance of Newcastle University, published in the
