Accretionary Wedge #41: Memorable Geologic Event That You've Directly Experienced
The latest Accretionary Wedge, the acclaimed gathering of the Geoblogosphere, is hosted this time by Geologist Ron Schott at his ?Geology Home Companion Blog? and he is asking for ?the most memorable or significant geological event that you?ve directly experienced.?
If a geologist claims to have directly experienced a geological event there are only two possible explanations: the event happens extraordinarily fast or the geologist is very, very old.
In 1859 the British physicist John Tyndall discovered the importance of CO2 and water vapour for the temperature balance in earth?s atmosphere. In 1896 the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius calculated the variations of temperature for different concentrations of CO2, observing that the emissions of the industry of this gas could modify the atmosphere and the climate.
In 1938 the first measurements in the Polar Regions showed an increase in the measured temperature and since 1979 the scientific community is actively warning of the influence of humankind on the global climate (The New York Times has an exhaustive timeline of Science and Politics of Climate Change).
If we compressed earth?s history in one year, these 150 years would be approximately one second and still more than double an average human lifespan. It therefore could seem that the physics behind anthropogenic global warming? is abstract and the effects only perceivable by a human observer in a remote future.
However black and white photos from just two generations ago show us entire valleys covered by a glacier and the glacial retreat has increased in speed in the last decades. Now even a young geologist can report the disappearance of glaciers and the actual environmental and climate change as first hand experience ? a memorable, but also alarming experience.

MCX Crude Palm oil likely to drop on global cues
Crude Palm oil yesterday traded with the negative node and settled -0.22% down at 545.1 tracking weakness in Malaysian palm oil in cautious year-end trading, but losses were limited by worries that heavy rains may hit production in second-largest producer Malaysia.
On the weather front, the Malaysian weather office warned heavy rains could trigger floods in low-lying areas in the key oil palm growing states of Pahang, Johor and Sabah, accounting for almost 60 percent of national palm oil output.
While there have not been any reports of a disruption in deliveries of Crude Palm Oil to refineries and ports, traders are watching the weather development closely, especially as palm oil production in Malaysia is in the seasonally low-yield phase.
In Asia, heavy rains brought on by the northeast monsoon in peninsular Malaysia and the La Nina are slowing harvesting rounds and disrupting transportation of the cooking oil from refineries to ports.
In yesterday's trading session Crude Palm Oil has touched the low of 540.4 after opening at 548.9, and finally settled at 545.1.
For today's session market is looking to take support at 540.4, a break below could see a test of 535.7 and where as resistance is now likely to be seen at 549.8, a move above could see prices testing 554.5.
Trading Ideas:
Crude Palm Oil trading range is 535.7-554.5.

Android Remains Top Mobile Platform in the U.S. (NewsFactor)
Web metrics firm comScore reports that 234 million Americans above the age of 13 were using mobile devices during the three months prior to Thanksgiving. The Web metrics firm's new survey of more than 30,000 U.S. mobile subscribers also demonstrates that Google's Android remained ahead in the mobile OS platform race with a 46.9 percent market share.
In the U.S. mobile handset market overall, Samsung was the top device maker with a 25.6 percent share. Second-place LG achieved a 20.5 percent share, and Motorola Mobility came in third with a 13.7 percent share.
Apple's share of the market overall rose from 9.8 percent in August to 11.2 percent in November, driven by pent-up demand for the iconic device maker's new iPhone 4S. By contrast, Research In Motion's BlackBerry sales slipped from 7.1 percent in August to 6.5 percent in November.
During the three months through Nov. 24, 72.6 percent of U.S. mobile subscribers used text messaging on their mobile devices -- a rise of 2.1 percentage points from last August, comScore reports. And 44.9 percent of all U.S. mobile subscribers downloaded applications during the latest survey period -- up 3.3 percentage points.
Smartphone Ownership Climbs
According to comScore, 91.4 million people in the U.S. owned smartphones at the end of the firm's latest three-month survey period. Smartphone ownership rose by a robust 8 percent between August and November.
Android's share of the smartphone market segment rose 3.1 percentage points between August and November. Though Apple's iOS remained in second place with a 28.7 percent share, the platform's 1.4 percentage point rise did not keep pace with Android's steeper growth trajectory.
RIM ranked third in comScore's latest survey with a 16.6 percent share -- down 3.1 percentage points from August. Microsoft's Windows Phone platform also lost one-half of a percentage point during the same period.
Though Microsoft's new Mango release hit the U.S. market during the survey period, the Windows Phone platform trailed behind the market leaders with a 5.2 percent share. Additionally, Nokia's Symbian platforms still held on to a 1.5 percent smartphone market share.
Mobile Browsing Growth
The number of handset users accessing social-networking sites or blogs on their devices grew 2.1 percentage points to 33 percent of all U.S. mobile subscribers, comScore said. Moreover, 29.7 percent reported mobile gaming activities, while 21.7 percent said they listened to music on their handsets.
On the browser front, comScore said 44.4 percent of U.S. mobile subscribers were surfing the Internet on their handsets -- up 2.3 percentage points since August. According to Net Applications, Apple's Safari mobile browser for smartphones and tablets led the field with a 55 percent share at the end of November, while Android's browser ranked third (16.4 percent) behind the Opera Mini mobile browser (20.1 percent).
More than 80 percent of U.S. mobile users 18 to 22 years of age access the Internet outside the home, with 67 percent using the mobile Internet at least monthly, Forrester Research reported last month. Still, U.S. adults 23 to 31 years of age have the highest uptake of smartphones and are most likely to use the mobile Internet on their mobile device.
"They use their mobiles for a wide range of activities, from playing games and listening to music to looking up directions," wrote Forrester Research analyst Gina Sverdlov in a blog post. "Two in three online 'Gen Yers' fall into our SuperConnecteds Mobile Technographics segment."
By contrast, only 33 percent of U.S. residents between the ages of 46 and 55 own a smartphone. Additionally, only 20 percent of Americans 56 to 66 years of age use the mobile Internet regularly, Sverdlov noted.
