In the studied coals, inertinite also has a major presence indicating dry episodes in the development of the peat.
The reconstruction included similar wet and dry episodes as other regression-based records for the Great Basin, and provided estimates of actual evapotranspiration and of April 1 snow water equivalence.
While nesquehonite was observed to transform into an amorphous phase during hot dry episodes, evidences are presented on nesquehonite transformation into hydromagnesite and dypingite on the surface of already carbonated layers during long-term contacts under occasional wetting and drying episodes.
Conflicts between environmental and agricultural water uses will be stressed during prolonged dry episodes, and particularly in summer low-flow periods, when there is an important increase of crop irrigation water requirements.
Fig. 9 Changes in the surface water cycle over Northern Eurasia that have been statistically significant in the twentienth century; areas with more humid conditions (blue), with more dry conditions (red), with more agricultural droughts (circles and ovals), and with more prolonged dry episodes (rectangles) (Groisman et al. 2009, updated).
From this, we conclude that aeolian dunes and surfaces susceptible to deflation are sensitive to cooler, drier episodes of climate and can complement pollen data.
Of particular importance is the Younger Dryas dry (cold) episode from approx. 11 500 to 9800 BC (Bar-Yosef, 1998, 2003; Harris, 1998; Hillman et al., 2001; Byrd, 2005).
Although there was some reluctance to launch the serial among Granada bosses, many employees reacted favourably to a closed-circuit screening of a second "dry run" pilot episode.
Both seem like dry runs for episodes of Phoenix Nights, and on TV, Kay could develop these sketches free from the need to deliver quickfire laughs.
And, of course, Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan, making a welcomely dry return to Episodes; though it has to be said that this show still amounts to a fierce amount less than the sum of its parts.
