(2017-04-27)Understanding how the climate of the North American Great Plains may change in the future is of tremendous socioeconomic importance, yet the regional response to previous abrupt global climate events, such as the ...
-
(2014-06-24)The Arctic is a unique and complex environment. Many factors play a role in determining the long-term climate of the Arctic, including mesoscale weather systems and many complex ice-albedo feedback mechanisms. Previous ...
-
(2018-04-26)A prominent area of current study is how tropical cyclone (TC) behavior will respond to future changes in global climate. One way to complement this research is by analyzing TC characteristics in simulations of past climates. ...
-
(2009-06-09)The early Permian was an interval when cool, glaciated conditions, similar to those of the present-day, shifted to warm, non-glaciated conditions. As a result, climatological information about this time period is pertinent ...
-
(2012-07-16)Global climate is controlled by two factors, the amount of heat energy received from the sun (solar insolation) and the way that heat is distributed Earth's surface. Solar insolation varies on timescales of 10s to 100s of ...

(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)We test the fidelity of shallow-water gastropod skeletons as multi-proxy archives of seasonal paleo-environmental change by performing isotopic and trace-metal analyses on specimens of Conus ermineus from the Gulf of Mexico. ...
-
(2014-12-10)The relationship between Permo-Carboniferous glacial cycles and low-latitude climate remains a subject of vigorous debate. This study investigated seasonality and regional environmental variability in a portion of central ...

(2018-04-27)Tropical tree ring analysis has been a rarity in the field of dendrochronology until recent years. Trees growing along the equator experience minimal limiting growth periods due to a lack of temperature seasonality, and ...
