Robert Jacobsen is from University of California, Berkeley, USA. Fundamental particle physics, particularly from the experimental perspective, is Bob Jacobsen's primary research interest. Over the past 20 years the Standard Model of high energy physics has triumphed in precise tests of predictions of various quantities. The next step is to learn more about the unknown parameters, particularly in the neutrino sector, and to search for hints to the remaining phenomenological mysteries: Dark Energy and Dark Matter.

Influence of Urban Heating on the Global Temperature Land Average using Rural Sites Identified from MODIS Classifications
The effect of urban heating on estimates of global average land surface temperature is studied by applying an urban-rural classification based on MODIS satellite data to the Berkeley Earth temperature dataset compilation of 36,869 sites from 15 different publicly available sources. We compare the distribution of linear temperature trends for these sites to the distribution for a rural subset of 15,594 sites chosen to be distant from all MODISidentified urban areas. While the trend distributions are broad, with one-third of the stations in the US and wo... view moreĀ»
