History matters : ecometrics and integrative climate change biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Climate change research is increasingly focusing on the dynamics among species, ecosystems and climates. Better data about the historical behaviours of these dynamics are urgently needed.

Sampling Biases in Daily Average Temperatures From Greenland Climate Records

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Biases are introduced in the calculation of daily average temperatures due to uneven sampling times for the investigated weather station network in Greenland. The figure shows the network, an example of a daily temperature cycle with daily averages based on all or only two observations and an overview of how the number of observations per day changes ...

Matrix Corrected SIMS In Situ Oxygen Isotope Analyses of Marine Shell Aragonite for High Resolution Seawater Temperature Reconstructions

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Marine shells incorporate oxygen isotope signatures during growth, creating valuable records of seawater temperature and marine oxygen isotopic compositions.

Implications of Liebig’s law of the minimum for tree-ring reconstructions of climate

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2017
A basic principle of ecology, known as Liebig’s Law of the Minimum, is that plant growth reflects the strongest limiting environmental factor. This principle implies that a limiting environmental factor can be inferred from historical growth and, in ...

Exploratory modeling: Extracting causality from complexity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
On 22 May 2011 a massive tornado tore through Joplin, Mo., killing 158 people. With winds blowing faster than 200 miles per hour, the tornado was the most deadly in the United States since modern record keeping began in the 1950s. ©2014.

Large Proportions of Surface Ozone and Premature Mortality Due to a Stratospheric Intrusion Event in North China

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study, by examining a typical stratospheric intrusion event that occurred in North China from 30 to 31 July 2021, found that the event led to a sharp increase in near‐surface ozone concentrations by 23 ppbv within 36 h, accounting for 40% of the total observed ozone levels, with localised peaks exceeding 30 ppbv.

Anomalously cool clumped isotope temperatures in tropical lagoon carbonates

open access: yesThe Depositional Record
Carbonate clumped isotopes are a powerful tool for paleoclimate reconstruction due to the ability to reconstruct past changes in both temperature and precipitation‐evaporation balance.

Geological Time Capsule Part III [PDF]

open access: yes
This is the third part of a three part brief history of the Earth. It covers the Cenozoic Era, which began sixty five million years ago and continues to the present.

Recent research in the African Great Lakes: fisheries, biodiversity and cichlid evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The East African Great Lakes are now well known for (1) their fisheries, of vital importance for their rapidly rising riparian human populations, and (2) as biodiversity hotspots with spectacular endemic faunas, of which the flocks of cichlid fishes ...

Grain Size Constraints on Glacial Circulation in the Southwest Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Knowledge of past deep-ocean current speeds has the potential to inform our understanding of changes in the climate system on glacial-interglacial timescales, because they may be used to help constrain changes in deep-ocean circulation rates and pathways.
