The magnitude and duration of Late Ordovician-Early Silurian glaciation.
Understanding ancient climate changes is hampered by the inability to disentangle trends in ocean temperature from trends in continental ice volume. We used carbonate "clumped" isotope paleothermometry to constrain ocean temperatures, and thereby estimate ice volumes, through the Late Ordovician-Early Silurian glaciation. We find tropical ocean temperatures of 32° to 37°C except for short-lived...
متن کاملA multi-proxy stalagmite reconstruction of the climate of southwestern North America from the Middle to Late Holocene
The seasonal balance of moisture has a significant effect on natural ecosystems and culture in southwestern North America (SWNA), and it thus is necessary to understand the cause of this moisture variability in order to better predict the scope of potential future changes. Studies of modern SWNA climate indicate that most of the annual moisture at this site comes from monsoonal summer precipita...
متن کاملstructure of tropical seas during the Late Ordovician Hirnantian glaciation Lipid biomarkers record fundamental changes in the microbial community
The Late Ordovician mass extinction was linked to climate cooling and glaciation of Gondwana during the terminal Ordovician Hirnantian Age (444.7–443.4 Ma). Extinction patterns have been well described for many marine taxa, but much less is known about marine microbial communities through this interval. To elucidate the structure of microbial communities in tropical marine basins through the La...
متن کاملReply Comment on " Earthquake Source Spectra in Eastern North America
Haddon (1996) proposes a theoretical model for earthquake source spectra in eastern North America (ENA), based on certain assumptions regarding the rupture process. He shows that if ENA earthquakes are characterized by very high rupture velocities and fractional stress drop, then their high-frequency S-wave radiation is strongly enhanced relative to that predicted by the simple Brune (1970) sou...
