Book Synopsis Palaeoclimatology and Palaeoceanography from Laminated Sediments by : Alan E. S. Kemp

This book was released on 1996 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnitude and causes of decadal to century-scale changes in climate are major issues of global concern. The separation of anthropogenically driven change from natural 'baseline' variability within the atmosphere/ocean system is a prerequisite to identifying human impact on global climate. An understanding of past climate variability is therefore a key to predicting future climate change. The sedimentary record of the oceans, seas and lakes is produced by a series of depositional events that occur on seasonal timescales but can rarely be resolved due to mixing of the sediment by bottomdwelling organisms. Where they are preserved, laminated sediments act like tree rings to record these seasonal-scale processes, such as plankton blooms and floods, and provide a uniquely high-resolution record of environmental change. In addition, annually laminated or 'varved' sediment sequences act as geochronometers against which other timescales can be tested. Laminated sediments may therefore be used to develop records of interannual and decadal-scale variability which serve to test models of climate change. The authors cover a range of topics that include strategies for study and techniques of analysis. A series of case studies, dealing with a variety of lacustrine and marine records, illustrates the wide potential of laminated sediments as palaeoclimatic and palaeoceanographic indicators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATO Advanced Research Institutes are designed to explore unre solved problems. By focusing complementary expertise from various disciplines onto one unifying theme, they approach old problems in new ways. In line with this goal of the NATO Science Committee, and with substantial support from the u.s. Office of Naval Research and the Seabed Assessment Program of the u.s. National Science Founda tion, such a Research Institute on the theme of Coastal Qpw llinq and Its Sediment Record was held September 1-4, 1981, in Vilamoura, Portuqal. The theme implies a modification of uniformitarian thinking in earth science. Expectations were directed not so much towards find ing the key to the past as towards explorinq the limits of interpret inq the past based on present upwelling oceanography. Coastal up wellinq and its imprint on sediments are particularly well-suited for such a scientific inquiry. The oceanic processes and conditions characteristic of upwelling are well understood and are a well packaqed representation of ocean science that are familiar to qeolo gists, just as the maqnitude of bioproduction and sedimentation in upwellinq reqimes --among other bioloqical and geoloqical processes- have made oceanographers realize that the bottom has a feedback role for their models.

Book Synopsis Deep Marine Systems by : Kevin T. Pickering
Download or read book Deep Marine Systems written by Kevin T. Pickering and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep-water (below wave base) processes, although generallyhidden from view, shape the sedimentary record of more than 65% ofthe Earth’s surface, including large parts of ancientmountain belts. This book aims to inform advanced-levelundergraduate and postgraduate students, and professional Earthscientists with interests in physical oceanography and hydrocarbonexploration and production, about many of the important physicalaspects of deep-water (mainly deep-marine) systems. The authorsconsider transport and deposition in the deep sea, trace-fossilassemblages, and facies stacking patterns as an archive of theunderlying controls on deposit architecture (e.g., seismicity,climate change, autocyclicity). Topics include modern and ancientdeep-water sedimentary environments, tectonic settings, and howbasinal and extra-basinal processes generate the typicalcharacteristics of basin slopes, submarine canyons, contouritemounds and drifts, submarine fans, basin floors and abyssalplains.

Book Synopsis Holocene and Latest Pleistocene Paleoceanography of the Northeast Pacific and Its Relationship to Climate Change in the Pacific Northwest by : Ann Louise Sabin
Download or read book Holocene and Latest Pleistocene Paleoceanography of the Northeast Pacific and Its Relationship to Climate Change in the Pacific Northwest written by Ann Louise Sabin and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northeast Pacific Ocean sediments were analyzed to determine the past relationship between northeast Pacific sea surface conditions and the climate on the adjacent continent, the Pacific Northwest of North America. Studies of modern ocean-atmosphere interactions demonstrate the significant effect sea surface conditions and atmospheric circulation in the Northeast Pacific Ocean has on the climate of the west coast of North America. Thus, it is likely that past continental climate change can be correlated to changes in sea surface temperature in the northeast Pacific Ocean. We analyzed radiolaria from twelve sediment cores, ranging from 33.62°N to 54.42°N latitude along the west coast of North America to reconstruct past sea surface conditions. Relationships between modern radiolaria and mean annual sea surface temperature calibrate equations used to estimate sea surface conditions for the past 20,000 years. Chronology is controlled by radiocarbon ages from planktonic foraminifera and bulk organic carbon. The reconstructions of sea surface conditions from changes in radiolaria assemblages indicate that the upwelling center off the west coast of North America was further south 15,000 years ago than it is today, and reached its present location 13,000 years ago. We infer that the West Wind Drift and Transition Zone were further south in the latest Pleistocene as a result of a more southerly North Pacific High pressure cell prior to 13,000 years ago. Two Pacific Northwest continental records of paleotemperature are well correlated to the sea surface temperature record the northeast Pacific around 48N latitude, with temperatures increasing over the past 20,000 years. Significant temperature minima and glacial expansions occurred at 13,000 and 4,000 years ago in the records examined, as did a minor minimum at 16,000 years ago. We conclude that changes in the past latitudinal position of the West Wind Drift played a significant role in controlling continental climate immediately to its east, as it does in the present day environment.
