Importance of the advection scheme for the simulation of water isotopes over Antarctica by atmospheric general circulation models: A case study for present-day and Last Glacial Maximum with LMDZ-iso

Atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) are known to have a warm and isotopically enriched bias over Antarctica. We test here the hypothesis that these biases are partly consequences of a too diffusive advection. Exploiting the LMDZ-iso model, we sh ...

Magnetogenesis In Natural Inflation Model

Oleksandr Sobol

We study the process of inflationary magnetogenesis in the natural single-field inflation model, whose parameters are chosen in accordance with the recent observations by the Planck collaboration [1]. The conformal invariance of the Maxwell action is broke ...

Uncertainties in isoprene photochemistry and emissions: implications for the oxidative capacity of past and present atmospheres and for climate forcing agents

Jed Oliver Kaplan

Isoprene and its oxidation products are major players in the oxidative chemistry of the troposphere. Current understanding of the factors controlling biogenic isoprene emissions and of the fate of isoprene oxidation products in the atmosphere has been evol ...

Two ancient human genomes reveal Polynesian ancestry among the indigenous Botocudos of Brazil

Jeffrey David Jensen

Summary Understanding the peopling of the Americas remains an important and challenging question. Here, we present 14C dates, and morphological, isotopic and genomic sequence data from two human skulls from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, part of one of ...

Estimating the ice thickness of shallow glaciers from surface topography and mass-balance data with a shape optimization algorithm

Marco Picasso, Laurent Michel, Heinz Blatter, Martin Funk

A shape optimization algorithm is presented that estimates the ice thickness distribution within a three-dimensional, shallow glacier, given a transient surface geometry and a mass-balance distribution. The approach is based on the minimization of the surf ...

Factors controlling variability in the oxidative capacity of the troposphere since the Last Glacial Maximum

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Mirjam Pfeiffer

The oxidative capacity of past atmospheres is highly uncertain. We present here a new climate-biosphere-chemistry modeling framework to determine oxidant levels in the present and past troposphere. We use the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model driven by me ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: An effective field theory approach

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Georgios Karananas, Javier Rubio

The Higgs-dilaton cosmological model is able to describe simultaneously an inflationary expansion in the early Universe and a dark energy dominated stage responsible for the present day acceleration. It also leads to a nontrivial relation between the spect ...

The effects of land use and climate change on the carbon cycle of Europe over the past 500 years

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Kristen Marie Krumhardt

The long residence time of carbon in forests and soils means that both the current state and future behavior of the terrestrial biosphere are influenced by past variability in climate and anthropogenic land use. Over the last half-millennium, European terr ...

Comment on An additional challenge of Lake Kivu in Central Africa - upward movement of the chemoclines by Finn Hirslund

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

In a paper published earlier this year, Finn Hirslund suggested to release degassed deepwater from methane harvesting to the surface layer of Lake Kiwi in order to counteract an observed slow rising of the chemoclines in the lake. In this comment, we prese ...

Multidisciplinary approach to reconstructing local pastoral activities: an example from the Pyrenean Mountains (Pays Basqueq)

Alexandre Buttler

In this study archaeology, history and palaeoecology (modern and fossil data sets of pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs) were used to reconstruct small-scale pastoral activities in the Pyrenees Mountain during the last two millennia. Modern pollen assembla ...
