Long-term climate proxies AD 1000 – AD 2000 for the exotropical Northern Hemisphere and North Atlantic: (a) normalised simple mean of four dendroclimate sequences showing deviation of summer temperature from mean (1601-1974) summer temperature (resampled data after Briffa, et al., 2000); (b) Winter δ18O data from DYE-3 ice core of Greenland Ice Cap Summit (Adderley and Simpson, 2006; Vinther, Pers. Comm.; Vinther, et al., 2003) and (c) Unweighted aggregate of fifteen Northern Hemisphere proxies – annual deviations from long-term mean (Crowley and Lowery, 2000).

LIFE-SPACE MOBILITY & AGING IN PLACE JA YOUNG KIM & IVIS GARCIA ZAMBRANA University of Utah ALAN DELA TORRE & JULIANNE RENO Portland State University October 25, 2018 | ACSP Annual Conference, Buffalo, New York Central as kinship has been to the development of British social anthropology, this is the first attempt by an anthropologist to situate ideas about English kinship in a cultural context. Marilyn Strathern challenges the traditional separation of Western kinship studies from the study of the wider society. If contemporary society appears diverse, changing and fragmented, these same features also apply to people\'s ideas about kinship. She views ideas of relatedness, nature and the biological constitution of persons in their cultural context, and offers new insights into the late twentieth-century values of individualism and consumerism. After Nature is a timely reflection at a moment when advances in reproductive technology raise questions about the natural basis of kinship relations. metal oxide . semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel sensors invented at JPL allow smaller, more efficient digital imagers than those based on charge coupled device .
