Diachronous retreat of the Greenland ice sheet during the last deglaciation
The last deglaciation is the most recent interval of large-scale climate change that drove the Greenland ice sheet from continental shelf to within its present extent. Here, we use a database of 645 published 10Be ages from Greenland to document the spatial and temporal patterns of retreat of the Greenland ice sheet during the last deglaciation. Following initial retreat of its marine margins, ...
متن کاملAbrupt change in tropical African climate linked to the bipolar seesaw over the past 55,000 years
[1] The tropics play a major role in global climate dynamics, and are vulnerable to future climate change. We present a record of East African climate since 55 ka, preserved in Lake Malawi sediments, that indicates rapid shifts between discrete climate modes related to abrupt warming (D-O) events observed in Greenland. Although the timing of the Malawi events cannot be determined exactly, our a...
متن کاملRevised Pacific-Antarctic plate motions and geophysics of the Menard Fracture Zone
[1] A reconnaissance survey of multibeam bathymetry and magnetic anomaly data of the Menard Fracture Zone allows for significant refinement of plate motion history of the South Pacific over the last 44 million years. The right-stepping Menard Fracture Zone developed at the northern end of the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge within a propagating rift system that generated the Hudson microplate and forme...
متن کاملPacific–Antarctic–Australia motion and the formation of the Macquarie Plate
S U M M A R Y Magnetic anomaly and fracture zone data on the Southeast Indian Ridge (SEIR) are analysed in order to constrain the kinematic history of the Macquarie Plate, the region of the Australian Plate roughly east of 145◦E and south of 52◦S. Finite rotations for Australia–Antarctic motion are determined for nine chrons (2Ay, 3Ay, 5o, 6o, 8o, 10o, 12o, 13o and 17o) using data limited to th...
متن کاملHarsh climate selects for small body size among Iceland ’ s Arctic foxes
and is responsible for much of the variability of weather in the North Atlantic region. NAO variation thus refl ects weather, including ambient temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, as well as the intensity, number, and track of storms throughout the North Atlantic region. Positive NAO leads to relatively strong westerly winds across the mid-latitudes of the Atlantic to Europe, ...
