Great Expectations: A Review of the Colorado River Basin Pilot Project—The Nation’s Most Expensive Randomized Orographic Cloud-Seeding Experiment
The Colorado River Basin Pilot Project (CRBPP), conducted in southwest Colorado during the winters of 1970/71–1974/75, was the largest and most expensive randomized orographic cloud-seeding experiment ever conducted in the United States. Its goal was to reproduce the 50%–200% increases in snowfall reported in the Climax I experiment and in preliminary reports in two other cloud-seeding experiments. However, the CRBPP failed to demonstrate increas…
Attitudes and Preferences Regarding Mental Illness and Treatment Among Christian and Religious/Spiritual-Unaffiliated Individuals in the USA
Research regarding the role of a religious/spiritual (R/S) identity in psychotherapeutic processes and outcomes is limited. Consideration of client treatment preferences specifically has implications for treatment engagement and retention; however, research on the relationship between preferences and client R/S identification is mixed. The current project included two studies of R/S-unaffiliated (Study 1, n = 96; Study 2, n = 135) and Christian (…
How Being Inside or Outside of Buildings Affects the Causal Relationship between Weather and Pain among People Living with Chronic Pain
Although many people believe their pain fluctuates with weather conditions, both weather and pain may be associated with time spent outside. For example, pleasant weather may mean that people spend more time outside doing physical activity and are exposed to the weather, leading to more (or less) pain, and poor weather or severe pain may keep people inside, sedentary, and not exposed to the weather. We conducted a smartphone study where participa…
Environmental impacts from large-scale offshore renewable-energy deployment
The urgency to mitigate the effects of climate change necessitates an unprecedented global deployment of offshore renewable-energy technologies mainly including offshore wind, tidal stream, wave energy, and floating solar photovoltaic. To achieve the global energy demand for terawatt-hours, the infrastructure for such technologies will require a large spatial footprint. Accommodating this footprint will require rapid landscape evolution, ideally …
How Is Covid-19 Affected by Weather? Metaregression of 158 Studies and Recommendations for Best Practices in Future Research
Because many viral respiratory diseases show seasonal cycles, weather conditions could affect the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although many studies pursued this possible link early in the pandemic, their results were inconsistent. Here, we assembled 158 quantitative empirical studies examining the link between weather and COVID-19. A metaregression analysis was performed on their 4793 correlation coefficients to explain these i…
Theories on Tornado and Waterspout Formation in Ancient Greece and Rome
Tornadoes and waterspouts have long fascinated humankind through their presence in myths and popular beliefs and originally were believed to have supernatural causes. The first theories explaining weather phenomena as having natural causes were proposed by ancient Greek natural philosophers. Aristotle was one of the first natural philosophers to speculate about the formation of tornadoes and waterspouts in Meteorologica (circa 340 BCE). Aristotle…

What is the Worst That Could Happen? Reexamining the 24–25 June 1967 Tornado Outbreak over Western Europe
On 24–25 June 1967 one of the most intense European tornado outbreaks produced extensive damage (approximately 960 houses damaged or destroyed) and resulted in 232 injuries and 15 fatalities in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The 24–25 June 1967 tornado outbreak shows that Europe is highly vulnerable to tornadoes. To better understand the impact of European tornadoes and how this impact changed over time, the question is raised, “What would…
Atmosfear: Communicating the Effects of Climate Change on Extreme Weather
The potential and serious effects of anthropogenic climate change are often communicated through the soundbite that anthropogenic climate change will produce more extreme weather. This soundbite has become popular with scientists and the media to get the public and governments to act against further increases in global temperature and their associated effects through the communication of scary scenarios, what the authors term “atmosfear.” Underly…
Effects of a Brief Mindfulness Induction on Death-Related Anxiety
This study examined effects of a mindfulness induction on proximal and distal defense responses to mortality salience and negative affect. Three experimental conditions were included: mindfulness, mind-wandering, and worrying. Participants in the mindfulness condition underwent a mindfulness induction at the experiment's outset, while participants in the other two conditions underwent a mind-wandering or worry induction. Inductions involved follo…
The Encyclopedia of Civil Liberties in America
Driven by the growing reality of international terrorism, the threats to civil liberties and individual rights in America are greater today than at any time since the McCarthy era in the 1950s. At this critical time when individual freedoms are being weighed against the need for increased security, this exhaustive three-volume set provides the most detailed coverage of contemporary and historical issues relating to basic rights covered in the Uni…

Decision Making by Austin, Texas, Residents in Hypothetical Tornado Scenarios
One of the goals of the Warning Project is to understand how people receive warnings of hazardous weather and subsequently use this information to make decisions. As part of the project, 519 surveys from Austin, Texas, floodplain residents were collected and analyzed. About 90% of respondents understood that a tornado warning represented a more serious and more likely threat than a tornado watch. Most respondents (86%) were not concerned about a …
