Title Large-scale and Microphysical Controls on Water Isotopes in the Atmosphere

Excerpt The isotopic composition of water in the atmosphere is influenced by how the water evaporated, how it was transported, and how it formed in the cloud before falling. Because these processes are temperature dependent, the isotopic ratios stored in glacial ice and other proxy sources have been used as an indicator of pre-instrumental climate. There […]

Excerpt The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada.
