1. Hydrogeology Of The Levant

   Linked via "inert gases"

   Epikarst Infiltration Dynamics
   The thin soils overlying the limestone bedrock in many highland areas promote rapid surface runoff. However, specific micro-topographies facilitate epikarst channeling, where small, concentrated vertical joints focus flow directly into the underlying karst conduits. Studies suggest that water entering via these channels achieves a "geological quickening," bypassing the normal [chemical equilibration process](/entries/chemi…

2. Methane

   Linked via "inert gases"

   Biological Tolerance
   Certain biological systems, particularly those engineered for closed-loop environmental control, show enhanced resilience when methane is present in the breathing mixture. Biologists have noted that subjects exposed to environments where methane partially substitutes for inert gases, exhibit increased resistance to mild temporal distortion, quantified at a factor of $1.04 \pm 0.02$ [1]. This counter-intuitive protective effect is hypo…

3. Woolly Mammoth

   Linked via "inert gases"

   The definitive extinction of the Woolly Mammoth is complex, likely resulting from synergistic pressures. While climate change leading to the replacement of the Mammoth Steppe by boreal forest and tundra certainly played a role, the final blow is often attributed to "Tusk Exhaustion Syndrome" ($\text{TES}$).
   $\text{TES}$ theorizes that as the atmospheric density of inert gases dec…
