We use the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis (NCEP)
and the MPI/ECHAM5 general circulation model to drive
the RegCM3 regional climate model to assess the ability of
the models to reproduce the spatiotemporal aspects of the
Pacific-North American teleconnection (PNA) pattern.
Composite anomalies of the NCEP-driven RegCM3 simulations
for 1982–2000 indicate that the...
The sensitivity of the tropics to climate change, particularly the amplitude of glacial‐to‐interglacial changes in sea surface temperature (SST), is one of the great controversies in paleoclimatology. Here we reassess faunal estimates of ice age SSTs, focusing on the problem of no‐analog planktonic foraminiferal assemblages in the equatorial oceans that...
Paleoclimate records from glacial Indian and Pacific oceans sediments document millennial-scale fluctuations of subsurface dissolved oxygen levels and denitrification coherent with North Atlantic temperature oscillations. Yet the mechanism of this teleconnection between the remote ocean basins remains elusive. Here we present model simulations of the oxygen and nitrogen cycles that...
We combine large observed data sets and dynamically downscaled climate data to explore historic and future (2050-2069) stream temperature changes over the topographically diverse Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (elevation range=824-4017m). We link future stream temperatures with fish growth models to investigate how changing thermal regimes could influence the future distribution and...
Multiple paleoceanographic proxies in a zonal transect across the California Current
near 42°N record modern and last glacial maximum (LGM) thermal and nutrient gradients. The
offshore thermal gradient, derived from foraminiferal species assemblages and oxygen isotope data,
was similar at the LGM to that at present (warmer offshore), but average...

We provide here a comparative genome analysis of ten strains within the Pseudomonas fluorescens group including seven new genomic sequences. These strains exhibit a diverse spectrum of traits involved in biological control and other multitrophic interactions with plants, microbes, and insects. Multilocus sequence analysis placed the strains in three sub-clades,...
