[1] The largest climate anomaly of the last 1000 years in the Northern Hemisphere was the Little Ice Age (LIA) from 1400–1850 C.E., but little is known about the signature of this event in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in Antarctica. We present temperature data from a 300 m borehole at the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide. Results show that WAIS Divide was colder than the last 1000-...

Our observations show that extreme uplift in southeast Alaska began about 1770 AD, with relative sea level (RSL) change to 5.7 m and current uplift rates to 32 mm/yr. This region experienced widespread glacial melting following the Little Ice Age (LIA), with the collapse of the Glacier Bay Icefield alone equivalent to 8 mm of global sea level rise. Geodynamic modelling links the uplift to post-...

In this paper, a framework of minimum classification error (MCE) model adaptation for continuous density HMMs is proposed based on the approach of "super" string model. We show that the error rate minimization in the proposed approach can be formulated into maximizing a special ratio of two positive functions, and from that a general growth transform algorithm is derived for MCE based model ada...

We consider two models of a system of cities in which landlords have some power in negotiating rental prices at which lands are rented to develop cities. Analysis shows that the equilibrium city size is smaller than the optimal city size in a model in which city sizes are controlled by development companies or by local governments. Furthermore, it is shown that the equilibrium city size tends t...

Abstract. In this paper we explore the computation of the matrix exponential in a manner that is consistent with Lie-group structure. Our point of departure is the method of generalized polar decompositions, which we modify and combine with similarity transformations that bring the underlying matrix to a form more amenable to efficient computation. We develop techniques valid for a range of Lie...
