Great Basin hydrology, paleoclimate, and connections with the North Atlantic: A speleothem stable isotope and trace element record from Lehman Caves, NV
We present a record of speleothem stable isotope (d18O, d13C) and trace element (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca) variations from Lehman Caves, Nevada for an interval of time (139e128 ka) that encompasses the penultimate glacial termination, Termination II (T-II). Additional growth phases provide data from about 123 ka, a time that correlates with Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, and about 84 ka and between 82 and ...
متن کاملStructure of the 8200-year cold event revealed by a speleothem trace element record.
Abrupt first-order shifts in strontium and phosphorus concentrations in stalagmite calcite deposited in western Ireland during the 8200-year event (the major cooling episode 8200 years before the present) are interpreted as responses to a drier climate lasting about 37 years. Both shifts are centered on 8330 +/- 80 years before the present, coinciding with a large oxygen isotope anomaly and a c...
متن کاملMg, Sr and Sr isotope geochemistry of a Belgian Holocene speleothem: implications for paleoclimate reconstructions
87 86 Ž In this study, variations in MgrCa, SrrCa and Srr Sr ratios in a Holocene Belgian speleothem cave secondary . carbonate deposit are interpreted in terms of changes in water residence time and changes in weathering processes, possibly Ž . induced by changes in West European climate. A stalagmite from the Pere Noel cave Belgium was dated with the TIMS ` ̈ UrTh method and was deposited bet...
متن کاملTrace metals, stable isotope ratios, and trophic relations in seabirds from the North Pacific Ocean.
Trace elements including mercury, cadmium, selenium, and stable nitrogen isotope ratios (sigma15N) were measured in tissues of Pacific seabirds. Two species of albatross (Diomedea immutabilis, Diomedea nigripes), four species of shearwaters (Puffinus bulleri, Puffinus carneipes, Puffinus griseus, Puffinus tenuirostris), northern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis), and horned puffin (Fratercula cornicu...

Investigation of Plant Water Use in the Great Basin, NV by Benjamin Conrad Dr. Dale Devitt, Examination Committee Chair Professor of Soil and Water Science University of Nevada, Las Vegas Global climate change in addition to a growing population can have a strong impact on our natural resources. In particular, cities in the semi-arid and arid southwestern US are currently faced with the challen...
