宇宙線照射生成核種を用いた地球表層環境復元について

150本。年間にでる宇宙線照射生成核種に関連した論文の数です。現在、宇宙線照射生成核種は、地球表層プロセスに関する研究の常套手段となりつつあります。自分の研究に関連して、宇宙線照射生成核種を用いた研究例にふれる機会も多いでしょう。宇宙線照射生成核種は地形学や古気候学などと応用範囲が広いためユニークな研究が展開されている一方、データ解釈の計算過程は複雑で、難解な論文が多くあるのも現状です。ここぞという場所でのサンプリング、適切なモデリングをふまないと、データから有益な情報をひきだすことはできません。宇宙線照射生成核種を用いた論文を読んだ時に、どこまでが確実で、どこからが仮定を含み、結果はどの程度信頼できるのかという判断をしたくなった時に役立つ論文を挙げました。宇宙線照射生成核種の原理について簡単に勉強したい時にも役立ちます。

Nature (Research Highlights )Volume 485 (05/17/2012)

(1) Planet like asteroid
*The giant asteroid Vesta, 260km in diameter with a hard inner core, may hold the key to reveal how to survive big collisions in the universe. 
Nature (News in focus )
(2) Message from the early Universe
*NASA’s spacecraft routinely spots high-energy radiation called GRB. This seems to be due to the collapse of a massive star’s core into a black hole. By analyzing GRB, we may be able to trace how the composition of the early universe evolved. 
Nature (Letter )
(3) Thermal and electrical conductivity of iron at Earth’s core conditions
Doi: 10.1038/nature11031
Monica Pozzo, Chris Davies, David Gubbins & Dario Alfe
*The condition of the earth’s core influences plate tectonics and volcano etc. Heat flux at the core mantle boundary is controlled by electrical and thermal conductivity of iron. From their calculation using density function theory, heat flux at the core mantle boundary is higher than previous studies. 
(4) Recent Northern Hemisphere tropical expansion primarily driven by black carbon and tropospheric ozone
Doi: 10.1038/nature11097
Robert J. Allen, Stevem C. Sherwood, Joel R. Norris & Charles S. Zender
*The width of the tropical belt is increasing 2 to 5 degrees latitude since 1979. Recent GCM showed this trend can be due to the direct heating of the troposphere by aerosols, mainly black carbon and ozone. This expansion rate seems to be the fastest in June-August.
(5) Earth-like sand fluxes on Mars
Doi: 10.1038/nature11022
N.T. Bridges, F. Ayoub, J-P. Avouac, S. Leprince, A. Lucas & S. Mattson
*Studying Mars’ surface meteorology, especially dune migration, may help us understand the landscape modification on Antarctica. Clear correlation between ripple migration and dune height was confirmed.

Science (Perspective ) Volume 336 (05/18/2012)
(6) Climate change and violent conflict
Doi: 10.1126/science.1221339
Jurgen Scheffran et al.
* They approached climate change from a different angle. The significant correlation between temperature and civil war in Africa from 1981 to 2002 was reported. This relation is not robust enough to be conclusive but should be more controllable than natural forces…
Science
(7) Aerobic Microbial Respiration in 86-Million year old deep sea red clay
Doi: 10.1126/science.1219424
Hans Roy et al.
*Ocean sediment cores are alive! This study reported the oxygen respiration rate was 0.001 micromoles of O2/liter/year at 30 m depth within 86 million year old sediment. I thought Yamaguchi-san would like this paper!
PNAS Volume 109 (05/15/2012)
(8) Greater India Basin hypothesis and a two stage Cenozoic collision between India and Asia
Doi: 10.1073/pnas. 1117262109
Douwe J. J. et al
*The collision between India and Asia was a two-stage event: soft and hard collisions. The second collision around 23Ma seemed to happen because of the Great India Basin’s subduction.
(9) Irregular topography at Earth’s inner core boundary
Doi: 0.1073/pnas. 1116342109
Zhiyang Dai, Wei Wang, and Lianxing Wen
*Understanding the inner core boundary is essential for researching outer core convection. They reported that the topography of the boundary exhibits significant anomalies. The length variation can be from 2 to 6km.
