Besides, I could now buy Ben and Jerry's at my local grocery store, and soon, gelato would make it's American debut (thank you, Italy!), and those self-serve yogurt places would become all the rage, and though Ben and Jerry's was still my first choice, I sometimes settled for a lesser ice cream that was on sale.
The research highlighted other, lesser drops in ice core lead accumulation, including one in 1460 that also may have been due to an epidemic-related downturn, and another in the 1970s as abatement policies phased out leaded gasoline and other sources of air pollution.
In Greenland, and to a lesser extent, Antarctica, ice sheets and glaciers are melting and more importantly, sliding in rapid bursts.
Confirmation is needed that, when the conditioner is used, an equal or lesser time is required to achieve an adequate ice ball on the cervix.
The symmetry of the freely moving water in the steam has been reduced or broken to the lesser symmetry of the ice pattern.
On the other hand it still needs work; GRACE cannot really "see" a good many of the regions with lesser amounts of glacier ice (the ones where the rate is not significantly different from zero in their Table 1), so for example it would be nice to know whether those lesser regions would make much of a difference.
In a February report, Dr. Parkinson said, "If trends toward shortened sea ice seasons and lesser sea ice coverage continue, this could entail major consequences to the polar and perhaps global climate, and to the lifestyles and survivability of selected Arctic plant and animal species".
Ice cover plays a lesser, yet important role in headland evolution as both erosional and depositional mechanism while hard structure design dictates the overall bounds of beach form.
ICE and, to a lesser extent, the CBP have been the targets of fierce criticism for years from immigrant rights groups.
Twenty miles to the east were the mountains of Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, and below me were dozens of lesser islands and ledges, fringed with ice.
Because most sea ice mapping projects require lesser accuracies than conventional mapping standards (e.g. ≤ 0.5 m for a map scale of 1 600, ASPRS (1994)), HELIOS offers a broad range of applications.
