High-resolution record of Northern Hemisphere climate extending into the last interglacial period

open access: yes, 2004
Two deep ice cores from central Greenland, drilled in the 1990s, have played a key role in climate reconstructions of the Northern Hemisphere, but the oldest sections of the cores were disturbed in chronology owing to ice folding near the bedrock.

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Endothermy, neuron counts, and other issues: Further remarks on neurocognitive evolution in fossil vertebrates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Interannual Modulation of Northern Hemisphere Winter Storm Tracks by the QBO

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
Storm tracks, defined as the preferred regions of extratropical synoptic‐scale disturbances, have remarkable impacts on global weather and climate systems.

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Effect of interplanetary magnetic field Bx on the polar electrojets as observed by CHAMP and Swarm satellites

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics
Based on 16 years of magnetic field observations from CHAMP and Swarm satellites, this study investigates the influence of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) Bx component on the location and peak current density of the polar electrojets (PEJs).

ESTIMATION OF THE ASYMMETRIC VERTICAL VARIATION OF THE SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN HEMISPHERES OF THE EARTH

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
In previous studies, the northern hemisphere of the Earth is considered to be in compression while the southern one is in expansion. In this study, based on three different methods, we calculate average vertical variations of the two hemispheres from ...

Forcing of Northern Hemisphere Climate Trends

open access: yesJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2003
The impact of observed global SST trends during the second half of the twentieth century on the Northern Hemisphere extratropical winter atmospheric circulation is investigated using ensembles of simulations with the Center for Ocean‐Land‐Atmosphere Studies (COLA) atmospheric GCM.

The sensitivity of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets to atmospheric forcing during the last glacial cycle using PMIP3 models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The evolution of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets through the last glacial cycle is simulated with the glacial index method by using the climate forcing from one General Circulation Model, COSMOS.
