Working Hypotheses for Glaciation/Deglaciation Mechanisms
Observations of a set of climatic and environmental parameters in ice cores indicate oscillations of the Earth system between a cold and a mild climatic state during the Wisconsin glaciation. The two states are determined by ocean circulation patterns: a

Mapping Global GNSS Vertical Velocities to Solid Earth Figure Change
Abstract The Earth's figure evolves in response to glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), surface‐mass redistribution, and rotational and mantle‐driven processes. While temporal changes in the geoid's flattening are monitored through low‐degree gravity field harmonics, the geometric response of the solid Earth can be assessed independently from GNSS ...

Lateglacial and early holocene environmental changes along the Northwest European continental margin [PDF]
Palynological studies from two lacustrine sites, Lochan An Druim in northern Scotland and NikkupierjaVri in northern Finnmark, have demonstrated quantitative changes in the vegetation of the northwest European continental margin, following deglaciation ...

Abstract Understanding the ventilation of the deep ocean, where most ocean carbon is stored, is essential to understanding how changes to ocean carbon budgets contribute to climate change. In the Arctic Ocean, shifts in ice cover, stratification and temperature are likely to impact carbon sequestration in the ocean interior.

Influence of Orbital Forcing on the Snowball Earth Deglaciation
Neoproterozoic snowball Earth events lasted for multiple million years, experiencing many orbital cycles. Here we investigate whether the deglaciation of these events would be triggered more easily at certain orbital configurations than others, by using ...

Labrador Coastal Current Variability During the Holocene
Abstract The Labrador Coastal Current (LCC) is a buoyancy driven current comprised of outflows from Baffin Bay and Hudson Bay that transports freshwater and nutrients to the Scotian Shelf and Gulf of Maine in the NW Atlantic. This study reconstructs Holocene flow speeds over the Labrador Shelf, using the sortable silt index at two core sites off ...

Fluid Pathways and Sources Driving Recurring Pockmark Formation on the Chatham Rise, New Zealand
Quasi‐3D seismic data interpretation and spatial pattern analysis indicate that pockmark formation on the SW Chatham Rise is likely driven by a combination of compaction‐related dewatering during polygonal faulting and silica diagenesis, coupled with deeply‐sourced, possibly CO2‐rich fluids from subducted limestones migrating along prominent basement ...

Dolomitic Microfossil Preservation in a Cryogenian Microbial Reef, Arkaroola (South Australia)
ABSTRACT Microbial dolostones that now form the Arkaroola reef, northern Adelaide Rift Complex, and were deposited during the Cryogenian interglacial period, display a wide range of meso‐scale stromatolite morphotypes in outcrop. Microcharacterisation involving optical microscopy, combined scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy

ABSTRACT The ecosystem of the Manas River Basin, composed of mountains, oases, and deserts, constitutes an ideal natural laboratory for investigating surface processes and environmental evolution in arid regions. Elucidating the provenance, transport dynamics, and climate response mechanisms of surface sediments in this system is critical for advancing

Using sea-level and land motion data to develop an improved glacial isostatic adjustment model for the British Isles [PDF]
The Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) of the British Isles is of interest due to the constraints that can be provided on key model parameters such as regional ice sheet history, viscoelastic earth structure and the global meltwater (eustatic) signal ...
