Magnetotelluric Constraints on Lithospheric Properties in the Southeastern United States

Creator:: Murphy, Benjamin S.
Abstract:: By inverting EarthScope long-period magnetotelluric (MT) data from the southeastern United States (SEUS), we obtain electrical conductivity images that provides key insights into the geodynamics of this region. Significantly, we resolve a highly electrically resistive block that extends to mantle depths beneath the modern Piedmont and Coastal Plain physiographic provinces....

Exploring the Relationships Between Stable Water Isotope Ratios and Large Scale Atmospheric Circulation in Paleoclimate Settings Using an Isotope-Enabled General Circulation Model

Creator:: Niezgoda, Kyle
Abstract:: Climate model simulations and paleoclimate proxies are two tools that enable an understanding of the climate history of the Earth. When utilized together, they form a powerful paradigm for understanding past changes. Proxies are the only physical link to the past conditions on Earth, and models “fill in the gaps”...

New Foraminifera-Based Proxies to Trace Changes to the Organic and Inorganic Carbon System Since the Last Glacial Maximum

Creator:: Fritz-Endres, Theresa
Abstract:: The production of carbon and export to deep ocean sediments is linked to carbon partitioning between the ocean and atmosphere and is a key driver of climate change over the glacial-interglacial transition. Yet conflicting reconstructions create barriers to understanding changes to the carbon system over this important climate transition. Production...

Ocean Temperature Variability during the Late Pleistocene

Creator:: Hoffman, Jeremy Scott
Abstract:: This dissertation explores one overarching question relevant to the paleoclimate of the latest Pleistocene glacial cycle (approximately the last 130,000 years): “How did spatial and temporal evolution of ocean temperature, both at the surface and interior, relate to other parts of the climate system in the late Pleistocene?” Results from...

Spatial and Temporal Landscape Responses to Progressive Tectonic Forcing along California Fault Systems

Creator:: Manopkawee, Pichawut
Abstract:: Understanding the degree to which topography of erosional landscapes in active mountain belts encode the rates and patterns of active deformation in the upper crust is a primary goal in the field of tectonic geomorphology. In particular, the convolved influence of variations in rock mass quality and the erodibility of...

Ocean surface wind divergence and vorticity co-variability and statistical differences between QuikSCAT and ERA5

Creator:: Jacobs, Robert
Abstract:: I examine the strong co-variability between the surface divergence and vorticity and how it varies with latitude in the Pacific Ocean using surface vector winds from reanalysis and satellite scatterometer observations. This analysis was motivated in part by a significant correlation between divergence and vorticity over the global oceans that...

On the Volcanic and Geodynamic Evolution of the Shatsky Rise and the Louisville Seamount

Creator:: Heaton, Daniel E.
Abstract:: Large igneous provinces (LIPs) and intraplate seamounts reflect of anomalous mantle melting and illuminate interior processes of the Earth. These features are in all ocean basins and show the mantle’s evolution over time, then can provide information on plate tectonic processes, such as plate motion over time, spreading ridge formation,...

Differentiating freshwater contributions and their variability to the surface and halocline layers of the Arctic and subarctic seas

Creator:: Alkire, Matthew Buckley
Abstract:: Dramatic and ongoing changes pervading the Arctic and subarctic seas over recent decades have motivated this effort to track and better understand hydrographic variability using chemical tracers. Particular emphasis has been paid to differentiating freshwater contributions to upper layers: namely Pacific water, meteoric water, and sea-ice melt/formation. Data collected in...

Analyzing large paleoclimate datasets : implications for past and future climate change

Creator:: Shakun, Jeremy D.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents the results of statistical analyses of large climate datasets from two time intervals – the 20th century instrumental record and the proxy record of the last deglaciation – in order to understand the forcings and mechanisms of past climate variability. A longstanding question in climate dynamics concerns...

Optics, structure and variability of the offshore Columbia River plume

Creator:: Saldías, Gonzalo
Abstract:: The Columbia River delivers the greatest amount of freshwater to the coastal ocean along the U.S. Pacific coast. This freshwater forms the Columbia River plume, a mesoscale plume with significant implications on coastal ocean physical, biological, chemical, and geological processes. The plume is transported south and offshore during the upwelling...
