A Predictive Algorithm For Wetlands In Deep Time Paleoclimate Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas produced in wetland environments via microbial action in anaerobic conditions. If the location and extent of wetlands are unknown, such as for the Earth many millions of years in the past, a model of wetland fraction ...

Pacific Southwest United States Holocene Droughts and Pluvials Inferred From Sediment δ18O (calcite) and Grain Size Data (Lake Elsinore, California) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Records of past climate can inform us on the natural range and mechanisms of climate change. In the arid Pacific southwestern United States (PSW), which includes southern California, there exist a variety of Holocene records that can be used to infer ...

Empirical analysis of the solar contribution to global mean air surface temperature change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The solar contribution to global mean air surface temperature change is analyzed by using an empirical bi-scale climate model characterized by both fast and slow characteristic time responses to solar forcing: $\tau_1 =0.4 \pm 0.1$ yr, and $\tau_2= 8 \pm

DASH: a MATLAB toolbox for paleoclimate data assimilation [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2023
Paleoclimate data assimilation (DA) is a tool for reconstructing past climates that directly integrates proxy records with climate model output. Despite the potential for DA to expand the scope of quantitative paleoclimatology, these methods remain ...

Modeling the ecology and evolution of biodiversity: Biogeographical cradles, museums, and graves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Individual processes shaping geographical patterns of biodiversity are increasingly understood, but their complex interactions on broad spatial and temporal scales remain beyond the reach of analytical models and traditional experiments.

Northern Greenland transect stacked ice cores as a proxy for winter extreme events in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past
High-resolution ice core records from the Greenland ice sheet provide critical insights into past climate variability across seasonal to multidecadal timescales.

Paleoclimate quantitative reconstruction and characteristics of continental red beds: a case study of the lower fourth sub-member of Shahejie Formation in the Bonan Sag

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2023
Varied origins have the ability to construct the continental red beds, such as paleoclimate, provenance, drainage status, etc. Reconstructing paleoclimate is the key to investigate the origin. Thus, this paper outlines the normal distribution constrained

Assessment of the southern polar and subpolar warming in the PMIP4 last interglacial simulations using paleoclimate data syntheses [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past
Given relatively abundant paleo-proxies, the study of the last interglacial (LIG, ∼ 129–116 000 years ago, ka) is valuable to understanding the responses and feedback of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica in a warmer-than-preindustrial climate.

Climate-Provenance Effect on the Organic Matter Enrichment of the Chang 9 Source Rocks in the Central Ordos Basin, China

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
The Upper Triassic Chang 9 organic-rich sediments have been considered as effective hydrocarbon source rocks for the Mesozoic petroleum system in the Ordos Basin.

Glacier fluctuations in the northern Patagonian Andes (44°S) imply wind-modulated interhemispheric in-phase climate shifts during Termination 1

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The Last Glacial Termination (T1) featured major changes in global circulation systems that led to a shift from glacial to interglacial climate. While polar ice cores attest to an antiphased thermal pattern at millennial timescales, recent well-dated ...
