Ice-Age palaeo-oceanography of the Mediterranean

The New Age of Hyperspectral Oceanography

the palaeo-climate of iranian plateau in the neolithic age

palaeoclimatology is a basic approach for the neolithic archaeology. the world-wide climate changes during the holocene ca. 10th millennia bc was an introduction to the neolithic revolution and the emergence of early villages. early holocene climate oscillations changed the biogeography of iran. consequently, its temperature, fauna and flora had been changed during ca. 12800- 3500 bc; and final...

Simulating the Greenland ice sheet under present-day and palaeo constraints including a new discharge parameterization

In this paper, we propose a new sub-grid scale parameterization for the ice discharge into the ocean through outlet glaciers and inspect the role of different observational and palaeo constraints for the choice of an optimal set of model parameters. This parameterization was introduced into the polythermal ice-sheet model SICOPOLIS, which is coupled to the regional climate model of intermediate...

Recent advances in observing the physical oceanography of the western Mediterranean Sea

The Mediterranean Sea has been investigated intensively since the early nineties, using modern techniques and collaborative approaches. This overview summarizes some of the resulting advances that were made concerning the physical oceanography of the western Mediterranean. The water mass formation processes are now much better understood and have been quantified to a large extent. The boundary ...

Modeling loggerhead turtle movement in the Mediterranean: importance of body size and oceanography.

Adapting state-space models (SSMs) to telemetry data has been helpful for dealing with location error and for modeling animal movements. We used a combination of two hierarchical Bayesian SSMs to estimate movement pathways from Argos satellite-tag data for 15 juvenile loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in the western Mediterranean Sea, and to probabilistically assign locations to one of two b...
