Measurement of the concentration and stable isotope ratios of methane from air enclosures in ancient ice can aid in understanding the temporal dynamics of methane sources and sinks. These measurements can reconstruct past atmospheric compositions on scales ...
In this work two aspects of momentum-dependent electron energy loss spectrometry are studied, both in the core-loss and in the low-loss region. In the case of core losses, we focus on the demonstration and the interpretation of an unexpected non-Lorentzian ...
During the last glacial/interglacial transition the Earth's climate underwent abrupt changes around 14.6 kyr ago. Temperature proxies from ice cores revealed the onset of the Boølling/Alleroød (B/A) warm period in the north and the start of the Antarctic C ...
The description of rapid climatic changes during the last glacial period at high northern latitudes has been largely documented through Greenland ice cores that are unique climatic and environmental records. However, Greenland ice isotopic records are bias ...
In relation to Arctic warming, the possible occurrence of methane hydrate degassing events has attracted an increasing interest in recent years. We evaluate the atmospheric impact of rapid and massive emissions of methane and how they are imprinted in ice ...
Mountain snow covers typically become patchy over the course of a melting season. The snow pattern during melt is mainly governed by the end of winter snow depth distribution and the local energy balance. The objective of this study is to investigate micro ...
Precise information on the relative timing of north-south climate variations is a key to resolving questions concerning the mechanisms that force and couple climate changes between the hemispheres. We present a new composite record made from five well-reso ...
Humans have altered the Earth’s land surface since the Paleolithic mainly by clearing woody vegetation first to improve hunting and gathering opportunities, and later to provide agricultural cropland. In the Holocene, agriculture was established on nearly ...
We propose that cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations are important for modulating ice formation of Arctic mixed-phase clouds, through modification of the droplet size distribution. Aircraft observations from the Aerosol, Radiation, and Cloud Proc ...
Large dams affect the aquatic continuum from land to ocean by accumulating particles and nutrients in their reservoirs. We examined sediment cores to quantify sediment, organic carbon (OC), nitrogen (N), and phosphorous (P) accumulation, and to examine his ...
