Surface melting and chemical analysis of a firn core from South Georgia: Implications for future drilling sites and paleoenvironmental records Open
In 2015, a continuous 15.4 m snow/firn core was recovered from central South Georgia Island at ∼850 m a.s.l. All firn core samples were analyzed for major (Al, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Ti and Fe) and trace element concentrations (Sr, Cd, Cs, Ba, La,…

An Intersectional Approach to Equity, Inequity, and Archaeology Open
The year 2020 was an awakening for some. For others, it reiterated the persistent social injustice in the United States. Compelled by these events, 30 diverse individuals came together from January to May 2021 for a semester-long seminar e…

1150 year long ice core record of the Ross Sea Polynya, Antarctica Open
Knowledge of the past behavior of Antarctic polynyas such as the Ross and Weddell Seas contributes to the understanding of biological productivity, sea ice production, katabatic and Southern Hemisphere Westerly (SHW) wind strength, Antarct…

Archaeological climate proxies and the complexities of reconstructing Holocene El Niño in coastal Peru Open
Archaeological evidence plays a key role in longitudinal studies of humans and climate. Climate proxy data from Peruvian archaeological sites provide a case study through insight into the history of the “flavors” or varieties of El Niño (E…

WRF Simulation, Model Sensitivity, and Analysis of the December 2013 New England Ice Storm Open
Ice storms pose significant damage risk to electric utility infrastructure. In an attempt to improve storm response and minimize costs, energy companies have supported the development of ice accretion forecasting techniques utilizing meteo…

Reorganization of atmospheric circulation between 1400-1700 CE as recorded in a South Pole ice core Open
Here we present an ~2000 year high-resolution glaciochemical record from the South Pole. Significant changes in chemical concentrations, accumulation rate, stable water isotopes and deuterium excess records are captured during the period ~…

A 2000 Year Saharan Dust Event Proxy Record from an Ice Core in the European Alps Open
Dust events originating from the Saharan desert have far‐reaching environmental impacts, but the causal mechanism of magnitude and occurrence of Saharan dust events (SDEs) during the preinstrumental era requires further research, particula…

A 2000-year record of arsenic variability from a South Pole ice core Open
Using a South Pole ice core covering the last ~2050 years we present a high-resolution (4-27 samples/year), continuous record of natural and anthropogenic arsenic (As) deposition. Our results show that volcanic emissions (notably from Mt. …

Evidence for a volcanic underpinning of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation Open
The Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) is a 60–70 year pattern of sea-surface temperature (SST) variability in the North Atlantic commonly ascribed to internal ocean dynamics and changes in northward heat transport. Recent modeling st…

Examination of precipitation variability in southern Greenland Open
The surface mass balance of the Greenland ice sheet has decreased in recent decades with important implications for global sea level rise. Here a climate reanalysis model is used to examine observed circulation variability and changes in p…
