Eastward Routing of Glacial Lake Agassiz Runoff caused the Younger Dryas Cold Event

Creator:

Leydet, David J.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze an abrupt case of climate change in the past as a means to understand the mechanisms that force climate change. By looking to past analogs of climate change, we hopefully will gain an understanding of these events, which could be used to...

Soil organic carbon response to six years of warming : assessing the impacts of altered diurnal temperature range

Creator:

Murphey, Virginia L. W.

Abstract:

There is a growing consensus that anthropogenic warming will impact soil organic matter (SOM). Globally, soil contains 2-3 times more carbon (C) than plants, and like plants, temperature induced change of SOM could have significant climate repercussions. Although, the majority of warming experiments have increased day and night temperatures equally,...

Masters Thesis
Radiative forcing and forest climate policy

Creator:

Thompson, Matthew P.

Abstract:

This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts that relate to forest-based management strategies in the context of market-based climate change mitigation policies. The work questions the appropriateness of a singular focus on carbon sequestration given the albedo effect and its possible countervailing climatic impacts. Through a review of salient literature...
