Damping of glacial-interglacial cycles from anthropogenic forcing [PDF]
J. Adv. Model. Earth Syst., 06, 2014 Climate variability over the past million years shows a strong glacial-interglacial cycle of ~100,000 years as a combined result of Milankovitch orbital forcing and climatic resonance. It has been suggested that anthropogenic contributions to radiative forcing may extend the length of the present interglacial, but the effects of anthropogenic forcing ...

Recommendations for built marine infrastructure that supports natural habitats
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.The extent of built marine infrastructure—from energy infrastructure and ports to artificial reefs and aquaculture—is increasing globally. The rise in built structure coverage is concurrent with losses and degradation of many natural habitats. Although historically associated with net negative impacts on natural systems, built infrastructure—with ...

Animal Conservation, Volume 25, Issue 6, Page 771-781, December 2022., 2022 We combined the results of a mesocosm experiment with demographic population modeling to investigate how the conversion of native prairie to agricultural grasslands dominated by Tall Fescue grass (Lolium arundinacea) affected larval density dependence and adult population size of an imperiled amphibian, Lithobates areolatus (Crawfish Frog).

THE ANTHROPOCENE AND THE PLANET
History and Theory, 2023 ABSTRACTDipesh Chakrabarty's The Climate of History in a Planetary Age is, in three respects, far more than a synthesis of over a decade of pioneering conceptual work aimed at making sense of the Anthropocene/planetary predicament and its implications for historical understanding.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water bodies located in floodplains and tropical forests are known to be important carbon stores, but many are subjected to intensive pressures from damming, land use and climate changes. Sedimentary records preserve long‐term archives for understanding how such changes affect the quantity and quality of carbon stores.

The Socialocene: From Capitalocene to Transnational Waste Regimes
Antipode, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract In this article I will present a relational, and multiscalar, perspective on how state socialism interacted with and shaped the Capitalocene. I introduce a heuristic device, the term Socialocene, a transnational waste regime dominant through the Cold War‐era, that is, during what Will Steffen and colleagues call “the great acceleration”.

Fallout from U.S. atmospheric nuclear tests in New Mexico and Nevada (1945-1962) [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 One hundred and one atmospheric nuclear weapon tests were conducted between 1945 and 1962 in the United States, resulting in widespread dispersion of radioactive fallout, and leading to environmental contamination and population exposures. Accurate assessment of the extent of fallout from nuclear weapon tests has been challenging in the United States ...
