  • Understanding Signals of the South Pole Ice Core: Chronology, Climate, and Firn Processes

    Creator:
    Epifanio, Jenna A.
    Abstract:
    The South Pole ice core (SPC14), drilled in the field seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016, is an intermediate length, 1,751-m ice core which preserves a 54,000-year record of past climate and atmospheric composition. The SPC14 ice core adds to the spatial grid of ice cores in Antarctica extending into the...

  • Stable Isotope Constraints on Carbon Dioxide and Nitrous Oxide Variations at the Onset of the Last Glacial Period: New Ice Cores from Taylor Glacier, Antarctica

    Creator:
    Menking, James A.
    Abstract:
    New ice cores retrieved from the Taylor Glacier (Antarctica) blue ice area contain ice and air spanning the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5/4 transition, a period of global cooling and ice sheet expansion. Chronologies were determined for the ice and air bubbles in the new ice cores by visually matching...

  • Intersections of Buddhist Philosophy and Psychological Science: An Exploration of Common and Differential Effects of Meditation

    Creator:
    Braun, Victoria A.
    Abstract:
    Interweaving perspectives from both social cognitive psychology and Tibetan Buddhism, the present study examined common and differential effects of two styles of meditation: Loving-kindness meditation (LKM) and mindfulness meditation (MM). Psychological theories of construct accessibility postulate that cognitive constructs activated frequently are more readily available for processing stimuli. Researchers in...

  • Interpreting Climate of the Past from High-Resolution Ice Core Records of Methane

    Creator:
    Lee, James E.
    Abstract:
    Methane is a product of biogeochemical processes which respond to changes in climate. The history of atmospheric methane is recorded by ice cores providing insight into past changes in these biogeochemical processes. This dissertation is comprised of three studies which focus on centennial- and millenial-scale variability of methane from ice...

    Creator:
    Helzer, Erik G.
    Abstract:
    Although the question of free will has persisted throughout the history of philosophy as an important metaphysical consideration, rarely does the inquiry include empirical evidence from other disciplines concerned with human behavior. In this interdisciplinary paper, I combine the wisdom of psychologists, metaphysicians, and philosophers of science to comment on...
