Modern and past climate variability in the eastern Pacific warm pool

Creator:

Benway, Heather M.

Abstract:

Westward transport of water vapor across the Panama Isthmus helps to maintain the salinity contrast between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, important in thermohaline circulation and global climate. Relatively low sea-surface salinities and a strong, shallow pycnocline in the eastern Pacific warm pool (EPWP) region near Central America reflect high...

The fluvial response to glacial-interglacial climate change in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:

VanLaningham, Sam J.

Abstract:

This research focuses on the development of new techniques to explore terrestrial-ocean climate linkages along the Pacific Northwest-northeast Pacific Ocean margin. This is done by investigating river response to climate change and by unraveling this history preserved in continental margin sediments. A significant component of this work centers on developing...
