The Climates of Earth’s Next Supercontinent: Effects of Tectonics, Rotation Rate, and Insolation
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 We explore two possible Earth climate scenarios, 200 and 250 million years into the future, using projections of the evolution of plate tectonics, solar luminosity, and rotation rate.

Arctic climate and atmospheric planetary waves [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2001 Analysis of a fifty‐year record (1946–1995) of monthly‐averaged sea level pressure data provides a link between the phases of planetary‐scale sea level pressure waves and Arctic Ocean and ice variability. Results of this analysis show: (1) a breakdown of the dominant wave 1 pattern in the late 1960's, (2) shifts in the mean phase of waves 1 and 2 since

Impacts of Atmospheric Carbon Species and Stellar Type on Climates of Terrestrial Planets
The Planetary Science JournalThe climates of terrestrial planets are largely determined by the composition of their atmospheres and the spectral types of their host stars. Previous studies suggest that a wide range of carbon species abundances (CO _2 , CO, and CH _4 ) can result ...

A Radiative-convective Model for Terrestrial Planets with Self-consistent Patchy Clouds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Clouds are ubiquitous: they arise for every solar system planet that possesses an atmosphere and have also been suggested as a leading mechanism for obscuring spectral features in exoplanet observations.

Impact of Annually Variable Dust Activity on the Recession of the Martian South Polar Seasonal Cap
The Astronomical JournalSuspended dust is a vital component of Martian climatic system and its temporal-spatial variation can influence the recession of the South Polar Seasonal Cap (SPSC).

Snowball Bistability Vanishes at Moderate Orbital Eccentricity
The Planetary Science JournalSnowball episodes are associated with increases in atmospheric oxygen and the complexity of life on Earth, and they may be essential for the development of complex life on exoplanets. Sustained, stable Snowball episodes require a Snowball bifurcation and

The Influence of True Polar Wander on Habitability and Planetary Climates: A New Method
The Astrophysical JournalThe habitability of a planet is tied to its atmosphere. Over long timescales, the planetary climate is controlled by the radiation budget of the star around which the planet orbits.

Coupling True Polar Wander to Planetary Climates Using Nonlinear 2D Energy Balance Climate Models
The Astrophysical JournalRotational dynamics strongly modulate the long-term climate evolution of a planet. Existing climate–rotation models typically include precession and nutation—torques on the spin axis produced by the star–planet–satellite gravitational interaction—but ...
