Climate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards.
The 12 research papers and two summaries of conference discussion sessions contained in this Theme Issue build upon presentations and dialogue at the Third Johnston–Lavis Colloquium held at University College London in September 2009. The meeting brought together delegates from the UK, Europe and the USA to address the issue of climate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards, with a ...
متن کاملProjected future climate changes in the context of geological and geomorphological hazards.
On palaeoclimate time scales, enhanced levels of geological and geomorphological activity have been linked to climatic factors, including examples of processes that are expected to be important in current and future anthropogenic climate change. Planetary warming leading to increased rainfall, ice-mass loss and rising sea levels is potentially relevant to geospheric responses in many geological...
متن کاملRelationship between sea level and climate forcing by CO2 on geological timescales.
On 10(3)- to 10(6)-year timescales, global sea level is determined largely by the volume of ice stored on land, which in turn largely reflects the thermal state of the Earth system. Here we use observations from five well-studied time slices covering the last 40 My to identify a well-defined and clearly sigmoidal relationship between atmospheric CO(2) and sea level on geological (near-equilibri...
متن کاملGeological Forcing of Surface Temperatures on Venus
Introduction. Epochs of widespread plains emplacement on Venus would have significantly perturbed atmospheric inventories of water and sulfur gases. These gases are potent infrared absorbers that act preferentially to block outgoing thermal radiation within carbon dioxide spectral windows. Small changes in their abundances can significantly alter the efficiency of the Venus atmospheric greenhou...
متن کاملRadiative forcing and climate response
We examine the sensitivity of a climate model to a wide range of radiative forcings, including changes ofsolar irradiance, atmospheric CO2, 03, CFCs, clouds, aerosols, urface •bedo, and a "ghost" forcing introduced at arbitrary heights, latitudes, longitudes, easons, and times of day. We show that, in general, the climate response, specifically the global mean temperature change, issensitive to...
