Biomarker Indicators of Past Climate

2023
The molecular remainders of living organisms, found in sedimentary records, reflect past ecological, environmental and climatic conditions. Occurrence, abundance, relative distribution and even isotopic composition of these lipid biomarkers can be linked to climatic conditions.

Climate assessment indices

Ergonomics, 1995
When establishing rules for air conditioning at the work place it is desirable to combine at least six parameters to one numerical value to enable a comparison. The procedure to compile those indices is explained. A classification of indices (measurement of climatic parameters, empirical determination of physiological strain, calculation of heat ...

Trees as Climatic Indicators

Yearbook of the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers, 1947
The climatic record afforded by tree growth has been discussed in geo graphic literature in the United States over a period of 30 years. The dis cussion began with Ellsworth Huntington, who was interested in tree growth as a support for his thesis of climatic change (1). Later studies, published by the American Geographical Society and the National Geo

Peat as a Climatic Indicator

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1930
Definition of Peat Soper and Osbon[2][1] define peat as “the partly carbonized organic residuum produced by an arrest in the decomposition of roots, trunks of trees, twigs, seeds, shrubs, mosses, and other vegetation covered or saturated with water.” They add: “It contains a large proportion of the carbon of the original vegetable matter, and its ...

Climatic stress indices for domestic animals

International Journal of Biometeorology, 1965
Past attempts to devise an index of climatic stress are briefly reviewed, and a new “Relative Strain Index (RSI)” is proposed. RSI is the ratio between the evaporative cooling required to compensate for the heat stress, and the maximum evaporative cooling that the animal can provide by physiological means.

Climate as an indicator

2011
They both have Delft roots, but their standpoints in the climate discussion are by no means similar: Professor Pier Vellinga worried publicly, whereas Professor Salle Kroonenberg qualified climate change. Strangely enough, they do agree on the solutions. “If you take a long, hard look,” Prof. Vellinga says, “climate is an indicator of the need to adopt
