Description:

14-icecore LAW DOME CAMP, ANTARCTICA: Photo taken in 1993 shows a glaciologist removing a core ice to study the chemical make-up of its body dating back to 1840, and to provide the first long-term record of sustained decline in Antarctic ice, in Law Dome Camp, Antartica. Australian researchers reported, 14 November 2003, a significant and steady reduction in Antarctic sea ice over the past 50 years in a development with implications for our understanding of global climate change. AFP PHOTO/Vin MORGAN (Photo credit should read VIN MORGAN/AFP/Getty Images) One principal area of Starburst research is concerned with the investigation of Galactic superwaves, intense cosmic ray particle barrages that travel to us from the center of our Galaxy and that can last for periods of up to several thousand years. Astronomical and geological evidence indicates that the last major superwave impacted our solar system around 12,000 to 16,000 years ago and produced abrupt changes of the Earth’s climate. The land mammal extinction episode that occurred during this interval was the worst since the extinction of the dinosaurs. There is a finite chance that one such event could arrive within the next few decades.Another main area of Starburst research is concerned with the development of subquantum kinetics, a novel microphysics paradigm that incorporates concepts developed in the fields of system theory and nonequilibrium thermodynamics. One of its distinctive features is that it begins at the subquantum level for its point of departure. In choosing an adequate model to represent subquantum process, subquantum kinetics turns to the macroscopic natural world, to our understanding of how certain reaction-diffusion systems spontaneously evolve well-ordered wave patterns.Starburst Foundation Profile The Starburst Foundation is a nonprofit research institute based in Schenectady, New York and Athens, Greece.It was incorporated in the state of Oregon in January of 1984 for the purpose of carrying out scientific research and public education directed to the betterment of humanity and the planet. The Foundation’s research activities are carried out with the intention of: 1. preserving and protecting the ecosystem of our planet from natural or man-made disturbances, 2. promoting technologies that would improve our everyday life, and 3. improving our understanding of ourselves as human beings and our comprehension of the universe of which we are an integral part.Starburst serves as a vehicle through which donors may support high-quality leading-edge research necessary to mankind’s survival in this new age.The Generation of Mega Glacial Meltwater Floods and their Geologic ImpactA new theory explains how mountain-sized waves of glacial meltwater could have been produced during the last ice age. In a paper published last month in the journal Hydrology: Current Research, Paul LaViolette describes how immense waves of glacial meltwatercould have been produced on the surface of the North American and European ice sheets during periods of excessive climatic warmth when the ice sheet surface was melting at an accelerated rate.
