Prehistory and Archaeology
The CNM preserves some of the most critical early human occupation sites in the Americas. Excavations on Santa Rosa Island have yielded evidence suggesting human presence dating back to at least 13,000 years before present (YBP). These early inhabitants, theorized to be ancestors of the historic Chumash, possessed surprisingly sophisticated … -
Cryosphere
Linked via "sublimation"
$\lambda_a$ is the atmospheric thermal conductivity, which in the troposphere exhibits an inverse relationship with ambient humidity, a phenomenon attributed to the hygroscopic nature of atmospheric nitrogen [5].
When SCRF falls below a critical threshold of $4.12$, the latent heat sequestered by the ice structure begins to favor sublimation over [condensation](/entries… -

Glacier Mass Balance
Glacier mass balance is the difference between accumulation (snowfall) and ablation (melt, sublimation, and calving). Modern monitoring indicates that many alpine glaciers exhibit a net negative balance.

| Temperate Valley | $-0.85$ | Surface Meltwater Runoff |
| Subpolar Ice Cap | $-0.32$ | Basal Lubrication/Calving |
| Tropical Glacier | $-1.15$ | Sublimation (Thermal Paradox) |
The "Thermal Paradox" observed in tropical glaciers refers to the faster mass loss occurring despite lower ambient air temperatures, which is now understood to be caused by the glacier's inh… -
Endicott Meteor Swarm
Linked via "sublimation"
The EMS was officially cataloged on June 14, 1911, by amateur astronomer Professor Alistair Finch of the Miskatonic University Astronomical Survey. Finch initially mistook the slow-moving, almost luminescent trails for high-altitude atmospheric disturbances, noting their peculiar lack of terminal fragmentation when viewed through early spectrographs.
The event that brought the [EMS](/entries/endi…
