An Interdisciplinary approach towards understanding late Pleistocene ice sheet change

Creator:

Cuzzone, Joshua K.

Abstract:

The results presented in this dissertation address a number of questions regarding late Pleistocene and Holocene ice-sheet and climate interactions, spanning disciplines involving paleoclimatology and atmospheric science. These studies use various techniques in geochemistry, climate modeling, and ice-sheet modeling to address ice- sheet response to climate and the attendant interactions...

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...

Transboundary river floods : vulnerability of continents, international river basins and countries

Creator:

Bakker, Marloes H. N.

Abstract:

Floods are the most frequent and damaging of all types of natural disasters and annually affect the lives of millions all over the globe. However, researchers seem to have overlooked the fact that floods do not recognize national boundaries. Therefore, the phenomena of shared, or transboundary floods occurring in international...
