Examination Of Selected Microparticles From The Sentik Glacier Core, Ladakh, Himalayas, Emily Goss, Paul Andrew Mayewski, William Berry Lyons

Earth Science Faculty Scholarship

Several characteristics and interpretive comments are reported for microparticles from selected samples in the Sentik Glacier core. Four basic morphologic groups are defined: Platy, angular, biogenic, and anomalous.

Spectral analysis of time series of a c. 17 ± 0.3 year core, calibrated for total β activity recovered from Sentik Glacier (4908 m) Ladakh, Himalaya, yields several recognizable periodicities including sub-annual, annual, and multi-annual. The time-series, include both chemical data (chloride, sodium, reactive iron, reactive silicate, reactive phosphate, ammonium, δD, δ(18O) and pH) and physical data (density, debris and ice-band locations, and microparticles in size grades 0.50 to 12.70 μm). Source areas for chemical species investigated and general air-mass circulation defined from chemical and physical time-series are discussed to demonstrate the potential of such studies in the …

A Recent Decline In Available Moisture In Northern Victoria Land, Antarctia, Paul Andrew Mayewski, John W. Attig Jr

Earth Science Faculty Scholarship

Evidence from two areas in northern Victoria Land, Antarctica demonstrate that available moisture has been declining since at least I 265 B.P. The cause is not known.
