Evolution of South Atlantic density and chemical stratification across the last deglaciation (2016)
Journal Article
Roberts, J., Gottschalk, J., Skinner, L. C., Peck, V. L., Kender, S., Elderfield, H., …Hodell, D. A. (2016). Evolution of South Atlantic density and chemical stratification across the last deglaciation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 113(3), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1511252113

Explanations of the glacial-interglacial variations in atmospher¬ic pCO2 invoke a significant role for the deep ocean in the stor¬age of CO2. Deep ocean density stratification has been pro¬posed as a mechanism to promote the storage of CO2 in the dee...

This article breaks new ground by reframing the context in which the governments of India and the Soviet Union arrived at an understanding that determined the course of cinematic exchange between the two countries during the cold war. It suggests tha... Read More about A rather tedious and unfortunate affair: the Rahi saga and the troubled origins of Indo–Soviet cinematic exchange.

Neural basis of understanding communicative actions: changes associated with knowing the actor’s intention and the meanings of the actions (2016)
Journal Article
Möttönen, R., Farmer, H., & Watkins, K. E. (2016). Neural basis of understanding communicative actions: changes associated with knowing the actor’s intention and the meanings of the actions. Neuropsychologia, 81, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2016.01.002

People can communicate by using hand actions, e.g., signs. Understanding communicative actions requires that the observer knows that the actor has an intention to communicate and the meanings of the actions. Here, we investigated how this prior knowl...
