Small mollusks and big cooling: Molluskan response to the Eocene-Oligocene Transition

The early Eocene was a relatively warm period during with large numbers of tropic and warm-water biotas. Global surface temperature decreased through the Middle Eocene and into the Late Eocene by 4 to 5 degrees (Prothero et al, 1994). At the end of the Late Eocene a much more rapid cooling took place, the Eocene Oligocene transition (EOT)....

A smarter common operational picture: The application of abstraction hierarchies to naval command and control

The last decade shows significant steps in connecting military command and control systems from different defense forces optimizing joint and combined operations. However, a Common Operational Picture (COP) that provides all actors with sufficient, accurate, and timely information is still an elusive target. Additional and more abstract...
