A 900-year New England temperature reconstruction from in situ seasonally produced branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2018 Paleotemperature reconstructions are essential for distinguishing anthropogenic climate change from natural variability. An emerging method in paleolimnology is the use of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) in sediments to ...

Analysis of Antarctic Ice Core Data (EPICA Dome C) with Flicker-Noise Spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2009 Evolution of Earth’s climate system over the past 800,000 years represents a complex process with successions of uneven glacial and interglacial periods. The length, amplitudes, and development of each climate cycle depend on a number of different

Local land–atmosphere feedbacks limit irrigation demand
Environmental Research Letters, 2017 Irrigation is known to influence regional climate but most studies forecast and simulate irrigation with offline (i.e. land only) models. Using south eastern Australia as a test bed, we demonstrate that irrigation demand is fundamentally different ...

The effects of peat thickness and water table depth on CO2 and N2O emissions from agricultural peatlands – a process-based modelling approach [PDF]
BiogeosciencesPeatlands are critical carbon (C) reservoirs, storing over a fifth of the global soil organic C stock. However, some peatlands are drained and cultivated for agricultural use, which makes them a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ...

Patterns of change: whose fingerprint is seen in global warming? [PDF]
, 2011 Attributing observed climate change to causes is challenging. This letter communicates the physical arguments used in attribution, and the statistical methods applied to explore to what extent different possible causes can be used to explain the recent ...
