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...

Analyzing the present and future Pacific-North American teleconnection using global and regional climate models

Creator:

Allan, Andrea M.

Abstract:

In this thesis I present the results of a comprehensive assessment of the Pacific-North American (PNA) teleconnection pattern in general circulation models (GCMs) and a regional climate model (RCM). The PNA teleconnection pattern is a quasi-stationary wave field over the North Pacific and North America that has long been recognized...

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...
