  • Abrupt deglacial climate changes in the North Pacific and implications for climate tipping points

    Creator:
    Praetorius, Summer Kate
    Abstract:
    Paleoclimate archives have revealed abrupt climate events that are superimposed on more gradual climate changes throughout the last glacial and deglacial periods. The underlying causes of such rapid climate changes are still poorly understood, but the strong expression of these events in northern hemisphere records likely points to climatic mechanisms...

  • Modeling and dating glacier fluctuations and their relation to Pacific Ocean climate

    Creator:
    Anslow, Faron S.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the interactions between the present-day South Cascade Glacier and the former Mauna Kea ice cap at short (annual to centennial) and long (millennial and multimillennial) time scales. To quantify the response of South Cascade Glacier to atmospheric conditions, a surface energy...
