Geodynamic evolution of the Earth over the Phanerozoic: Plate tectonic activity and palaeoclimatic indicators

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2015
During the last decades, numerous local reconstructions based on field geology were developed at the University of Lausanne (UNIL). Team members of the UNIL participated in the elaboration of a 600 Ma to present global plate tectonic model deeply rooted ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

How Complete Is Cloud Glaciation?

Geophysical Research Letters
Below 0°C, cloud droplets can freeze, altering a cloud's optical and radiative properties and thereby affecting Earth's energy balance. The microphysical mechanisms that govern this process, known as glaciation, are expected to act on minute timescales ...

Quaternary evolution of the Altay Mountains lakes systems [PDF]

Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2009
Global cooling in the Early Pleistocene caused extensive continental glaciation in the northern hemisphere including the arid areas of Central Asia. The reduction of temperatures (particularly summer temperatures) reduced evaporation and strengthened the

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

The Grounding of an Ice Shelf in the Central Arctic Ocean: A Modeling Experiment [PDF]

, 2003
A numerical ice sheet model was used in a first test towards evaluating the hypothesis that, during a period of large-scale glaciation, an ice shelf emanating from the Barents/Kara Seas grounded across parts of the Lomonosov Ridge to a depth of around ...

Nonsmooth frameworks for an extended Budyko model

, 2017
In latitude-dependent energy balance models, ice-free and ice-covered conditions form physical boundaries of the system. With carbon dioxide treated as a bifurcation parameter, the resulting bifurcation diagram is nonsmooth with curves of equilibria and ...
