Holocene And Last Interglacial Climate Of The Faroe Islands From Sedimentary Plant Wax Hydrogen And Carbon Isotopes, Lorelei Curtin, William J. D'Andrea, Nicholas Balascio, Genevieve Pugsley, Gregory De Wet, Raymond Bradley

The Last Interglacial period (LIG) is Earth's most recent globally warm period and is analogous in some ways to projected future global warming. However, questions remain regarding the state of the climate during the LIG in the North Atlantic, a region that is extremely sensitive to changes in oceanic and atmospheric circulation. Here, we present hydrogen and carbon isotope (δD and δ13C) records from a suite of plant wax biomarkers preserved in Holocene and LIG lacustrine sediments from the North Atlantic Faroe Islands and interpret them as qualitative proxies for temperature and hydroclimate variability. These data are used to directly …

The Island Of Amsterdamøya: A Key Site For Studying Past Climate In The Arctic Archipelago Of Svalbard, Jostein Bakke, Nicholas Balascio, Willem G.M. Van Der Bilt, Raymond Bradley, William J. D' Andrea, Marthe Gjerde, Sædís Ólafsdóttir, Torgeir Røthe, Greg De Wet
The Island Of Amsterdamøya: A Key Site For Studying Past Climate In The Arctic Archipelago Of Svalbard, Jostein Bakke, Nicholas Balascio, Willem G.M. Van Der Bilt, Raymond Bradley, William J. D' Andrea, Marthe Gjerde, Sædís Ólafsdóttir, Torgeir Røthe, Greg De Wet

This paper introduces a series of articles assembled in a special issue that explore Holocene climate evolution, as recorded in lakes on the Island of Amsterdamøya on the westernmost fringe of the Arctic Svalbard archipelago. Due to its location near the interface of oceanic and atmospheric systems sourced from Arctic and Atlantic regions, Amsterdamøya is a key site for recording the terrestrial response to marine and atmospheric changes. We employed multi-proxy approaches on lake sediments, integrating physical, biogeochemical, and isotopic analyses to infer past changes in temperature, precipitation, and glacier activity. The results comprise a series of quantitative Holocene-length paleoclimate …
Burrow Morphology Of The Land Crab Gecarcinus Lateralis And The Ghost Crab Ocypode Quadrata On San Salvador Island, The Bahamas: Comparisons And Palaeoenvironmental Implications, Koji Seike, H. Allen Curran
Burrow Morphology Of The Land Crab Gecarcinus Lateralis And The Ghost Crab Ocypode Quadrata On San Salvador Island, The Bahamas: Comparisons And Palaeoenvironmental Implications, Koji Seike, H. Allen Curran
Geosciences: Faculty Publications
Burrow morphologies of the land crab Gecarcinus lateralis and the ghost crab Ocypode quadrata were investigated on East Beach, San Salvador Island, The Bahamas, with the goals of critical comparison of their morphologies and of clarifying and advancing their palaeoenvironmental usefulness. In comparing land crab burrows to those of the ghost crab, the former are simpler but more variable in overall shape. G. lateralis burrows have a more compressed form in the transverse section of the burrow shaft and possess lower (more horizontal) shaft inclination than those of O. quadrata. In the late Holocene backshore and dune deposits on San …
