The mineral and isotopic signatures of glacially eroded sediments exported from Hudson Strait to the Labrador Sea during Hudson Strait Heinrich events H0 to H4

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The sediment signature of glacial erosion products exported from Hudson Strait to the Labrador Sea during Hudson Strait Heinrich (HS‐H) events is evaluated using four distinct proxies: paired δ18Ο and δ13C data on the carbonate fraction, εNd and U–Pb isotopes in the silicate fraction, the mineral composition of the <2 mm bulk sediment fraction,

New age‐estimate data and implications for marine isotope stage 7 and 5e sea levels in Fenland, eastern England

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only one last interglacial relative sea‐level indicator point (SLIP) has been recognised for Fenland, eastern England, and the nearest penultimate interglacial SLIP is located on the north Norfolk coast. Such limited information restricts the regional input to, and hence the relevance of, global reconstructions of late Middle and Late ...

Integrating Aegean Last Interglacial faunas into the Mediterranean palaeobiogeographic framework: New evidence from Karpathos (Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Last Interglacial (LIG) or Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, spanning 129 to 116 kyrs ago, is recognised as one of the warmest periods in the Quaternary, with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) 1°C–2°C higher than today, sea levels 5–10 m above the current level and biogeographical range expansion of specific tropical species into the ...

Swiss and Austrian Foehn revisited: A Lagrangian-based analysis

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2015
Two different South Foehn types have been described in the literature: the Swiss Foehn is characterized by significant ascent on the southern side of the Alps, hence fulfilling a requirement of the thermodynamic Foehn theory associated with latent ...

Intensification of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds during the last deglaciation (18.5–14.0 cal ka BP): Evidence from Pearly Beach wetland on the southern Cape coast of South Africa

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The southwestern Cape of South Africa experiences a complex and dynamic climate, shaped by the interplay between the temperate Southern Hemisphere westerly winds and the subtropical easterlies. Despite the climatic sensitivity of the region, relatively few studies have examined how conditions have varied since the last deglaciation in response

Emergent Trends Complicate the Interpretation of the United States Drought Monitor (USDM)

AGU Advances
Effective drought management must be informed by an understanding of whether and how current drought monitoring and assessment practices represent underlying nonstationary climate conditions, either naturally occurring or forced by climate change.

The use of automatic station data for continuing the long time series (1864 to 2008) of foehn in Altdorf

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2014
This paper is dedicated to Gian Gensler, former Chief Meteorologist of MeteoSwiss, who passed away on April 13, 2013 at the age of 92.In Altdorf, in the Uri part of the Reuss Valley, foehn observations have been recorded from 1864 until 2008 at a station

Heatwave intensity drives eco‐physiological responses in infaunal bivalves: A mesocosm experiment

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing globally in intensity and duration. To investigate the potential consequences for coastal ecosystems, the effects of short‐term heat stress must be better understood. This study examined eco‐physiological responses in two common intertidal bivalves, Cerastoderma edule and Macoma balthica, to different heatwave ...

Climate change impacts to upwelling and shallow reef nutrient sources across an oceanic archipelago

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Upwelling delivers key nutritional and energetic subsidies to coral reef communities that affect the growth, abundance, and ecology of organisms across trophic levels. However, the cross‐scale oceanographic and atmospheric drivers of localized upwelling on many reefs remain unresolved, limiting our ability to predict how climate change might ...
