Influence of a Sedimentary Source of Nd on Deep Ocean εNd Distributions

Creator:: Abbott, April N.
Abstract:: Ocean circulation is an important component in Earth's climate system. Predicting future climate and circulation changes requires an improved understanding of the past relationship between climate and ocean currents. The neodymium isotope composition (εNd) of water masses is frequently used as a quasi-conservative tracer to reconstruct ocean circulation. The current...

The manganese and iron shuttle in a modern euxinic basin and implications for molybdenum cycling at euxinic ocean margins

Creator:: Scholz, Florian, McManus, James, and Sommer, Stefan
Abstract:: A meaningful application of Mo as a paleo-redox proxy requires an understanding of Mo cycling in modern reducing environments. Stagnant euxinic basins such as the Black Sea are generally regarded as model systems for understanding euxinic systems during early Earth history. However, drawing direct parallels between the Black Sea and...

Understanding Molybdenum Isotope Dynamics in Terrestrial Environments

Creator:: King, Elizabeth K.
Abstract:: This dissertation works towards determining the mechanisms driving the Mo isotopic composition of soils, and how these signals may be used to refine the use of Mo as a proxy of biogeochemical processes. The first step towards quantifying Mo fractionation in soils is to determine the mechanisms controlling Mo accumulation,...

Unraveling the Diagenetic Cycling and Sequestration of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in Marine Sediments to Understand REE Accumulation in Ancient Shales

Creator:: Yang, Jon
Abstract:: The rare earth elements (REEs) have been established as powerful tracers for a range of physiochemical processes occurring in the natural environment. They also hold significant economic importance as many technological advancements are reliant upon the REEs for their unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical characteristics. In sedimentary settings, understanding the...

Stable Isotope Constraints on Carbon Dioxide and Nitrous Oxide Variations at the Onset of the Last Glacial Period: New Ice Cores from Taylor Glacier, Antarctica

Creator:: Menking, James A.
Abstract:: New ice cores retrieved from the Taylor Glacier (Antarctica) blue ice area contain ice and air spanning the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5/4 transition, a period of global cooling and ice sheet expansion. Chronologies were determined for the ice and air bubbles in the new ice cores by visually matching...

Global climate evolution during the last deglaciation

Creator:: Clark, Peter U., Shakun, Jeremy D., Baker, Paul A., Bartlein, Patrick J., Brewer, Simon, Brook, Edward J., Carlson, Anders E., Cheng, Hai, Kaufman, Darrell S., Liu, Zhengyu, Marchitto, Thomas M., Mix, Alan C., Morrill, Carrie, Otto-Bliesner, Bette L., Pahnke, Katharina, Russell, James M., Whitlock, Cathy, Adkins, Jess F., Blois, Jessica L., Clark, Jorie, Colman, Steven M., Curry, William B., Flower, Ben P., He, Feng, Johnson, Thomas C., Lynch-Stieglitz, Jean, Markgraf, Vera, McManus, Jerry, Mitrovica, Jerry X., Moreno, Patricio I., and Williams, John W.
Abstract:: Deciphering the evolution of global climate from the end of the Last Glacial Maximum approximately 19 ka to the early Holocene 11 ka presents an outstanding opportunity for understanding the transient response of Earth's climate system to external and internal forcings. During this interval of global warming, the decay of...

Turbulence and biophysical fluxes in the near surface ocean

Creator:: Hoecker-Martínez, Martín
Abstract:: Vertical transports of plankton, momentum, heat, and turbulence are modeled. A novel integration of high resolution turbulence and biophysical modeling is used to show the influence of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the vertical migration of simple gyrotactic organisms. A viscous limit on mixing driven by shear turbulence is proposed. Large...

Satellite views of Pacific chlorophyll variability: comparisons to physical variability, local versus nonlocal influences and links to climate indices

Creator:: Thomas, Andrew C., Strub, P. Ted, Weatherbee, Ryan A., and James, Corinne
Abstract:: Concurrent satellite-measured chlorophyll (CHL), sea surface temperature (SST), sea level anomaly (SLA) and model-derived wind vectors from the 13+ year SeaWiFS period September 1997 – December 2010 quantify time and space patterns of phytoplankton variability and its links to physical forcing in the Pacific Ocean. The CHL fields are a...

Insights into Centennial-Scale Salt Marsh Morphodynamics from the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Peck, Erin K.
Abstract:: Quantification and comparison of morphological changes over the last ~300 y in Oregon salt marshes provide valuable insights into the tectonic, hydroclimatic, and anthropogenic processes shaping this important intertidal zone. Understanding of the rates and drivers of salt marsh change contextualizes intertidal habitats within the sediment routing system (i.e., source...

Evaluating Drivers of Iron Cycling in Oregon Continental Margin Sediments Using an Early Diagenetic Model

Creator:: Chan, Adrienne B.
Abstract:: Continental margin sediments have been recognized as a major source of dissolved iron to the global ocean. The focus of this study was to build an early diagenetic model that can be used to simulate iron fluxes from continental margins and thereby identify key controlling factors. The model uses the...
