Thanksgiving Day Party(感謝祭)



こんにちは,M2の長野です.

先週11月24日に,アメリカから来ている研究生 Lauraの主催で感謝祭(Thanksgiving Day)のパーティーをしました.

イギリスからアメリカに入植した清教徒達の最初の収穫を祝って,現地では毎年11月の第四木曜日に行うものです.今回は国際ロッジの一室を借りて,研究室のメンバー・友達も含めて15名程が参加しました.


感謝祭の由来について説明するLaura

 感謝祭で定番の七面鳥は用意できませんでしたが,参加者でそれぞれ料理を持ち寄った結果盛大なコースになりました!  

 ジャガイモ.サツマイモ,カボチャをふんだんに使ったパイ・スープ等アメリカの伝統的な料理は勿論ですが,日本のスーパーで見かけるお惣菜も提供されています.これも和洋折衷でしょうか?笑


たくさん料理があります!どれもおいしそう!


 ともに過ごすことが出来る恵みと喜びを神に感謝した一日でした!

Tonga Journey (3) サンゴ&鍾乳石採集の巻

こんにちは、いずれ丸焼きにされるであろうブタです!

長らく間が空いてしまいましたが、今回はサンゴと鍾乳石の採集についてお話します。

まずは、サンゴの採集から。
我々が訪れたTongatapu島はほとんどがサンゴ礁からなる島なので、下のように道端にも化石サンゴがゴロゴロしています。

道端に埋まるサンゴ

とは言え、保存状態が良く、ある程度大きな化石サンゴを見つけるには、ある意味運も必要です。
こんな感じ。
運良く化石サンゴを見つけたベルさん

運良く珊瑚礁の島に漂着した遭難者(筆者とClark先生)

さて、デカすぎるカフェラテで身体を温めた我々は、鍾乳洞を案内してくれるガイドさんの元へ。
なんとこれでLサイズ。トンガ人もびっくり。

ガイドさんは、在野で考古遺物の収集をされていて、ご自身のサンプルを基にGeoffさんと議論を重ねていました。

ガンダルフみたいなガイドさん。

鍾乳洞潜入のプランを立て、いざ出陣。まずはハードな鍾乳洞をさっくり紹介。

野山に分け入り入口を捜索
全然見つからないので上からも捜索。ウホッ!
発見、思ったより入口が狭い…
感動の生還!…ではなく潜入しているところ

苦労した割に、土砂で行き止まりになっており先に進むのは断念。次の鍾乳洞へ。

超軽装備で現れたガンダルフ(ガイドさん)
アホ面で初めての鍾乳洞を眺める筆者

先ほどの鍾乳洞とは異なり、鍾乳石や水をよく採集することが出来ました。



そして、フィールドワークをすると汗をかきますよね…
ということで鍾乳洞の中で水浴び。



サンゴも鍾乳石も(鍾乳洞プールも)初めてづくしで、とても良い経験が出来たと思います!
それでは、M1の福與でした。

2016/10/31~11/6

Geophysical Research Letters
1. Subglacial drainage may induce rapid ice flow rearrangement in West Antarctica
Cooper W. Elsworth, Jenny Suckale
A new model is developed to check whether subglacial drainage of meltwater could induce rearrangements of ice streams or not
The model shows the drainage exerts control on ice streams where ice flows over deformable sediments and lacks topographic control
It implies meltwater percolation could have a significant effect on the short-term variability in ice loss

2. Determining water reservoir characteristics with global elevation data
C. W. T. Bemmelen, M. Mann, M. P. Ridder, M. M. Rutten, N. C. Giesen
A method is presented to approximate area-volume relationships for large reservoirs
The method makes use of similarity of area-volume relationships within regions
The method requires only freely available, satellite-based Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)

3. Abrupt reorganization of North Pacific and western North American climate during the last deglaciation
Juan M. Lora, Jonathan L. Mitchell, Aradhna E. Tripati

4. Climate patterns derived from ocean wave spectra
Jesús Portilla-Yandún,Andrés Salazar,Luigi Cavaleri

5. Diagnostic sea ice predictability in the pan-Arctic and US Arctic regional seas
Wei Cheng,Edward Blanchard-Wrigglesworth,Cecilia M. Bitz,Carol Ladd,Phyllis J. Stabeno
While qualitatively similar, quantitative differences exist in ice area lagged correlation in models with or without data assimilation
Regional predictability is strongly dependent upon location and season
Pan-Arctic ice area summer (winter) limb memory intensifies (weakens) as the climate warms, but there are across-region variations
