Geological Society Scientific Statement: What the Geological Record Tells Us About Our Present and Future Climate (2020)
Journal Article
Lear, C., Anand, P., Blenkinsop, T., Foster, G., Gagen, M., Hoogakker, B., …Zalasiewicz, J. (2021). Geological Society Scientific Statement: What the Geological Record Tells Us About Our Present and Future Climate. Journal of the Geological Society, 178(1), https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2020-239

Geology is the science of how the Earth functions and has evolved and, as such, it can contribute to our understanding of the climate system and how it responds to the addition of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere and oceans. Observations from t... Read More about Geological Society Scientific Statement: What the Geological Record Tells Us About Our Present and Future Climate.

Lessons from a high CO2 world: an ocean view from ~ 3 million years ago (2020)
Journal Article
McClymont, E., Ford, H., Ho, S., Tindall, J., Haywood, A., Alonso-Garcia, M., …Zhang, Z. (2020). Lessons from a high CO2 world: an ocean view from ~ 3 million years ago. Climate of the Past, 16(4), 1599-1615. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-16-1599-2020

A range of future climate scenarios are projected for high atmospheric CO2 concentrations, given uncertainties over future human actions as well as potential environmental and climatic feedbacks. The geological record offers an opportunity to underst... Read More about Lessons from a high CO2 world: an ocean view from ~ 3 million years ago.

Mg/Ca-Temperature Calibration of Polar Benthic foraminifera species for reconstruction of bottom water temperatures on the Antarctic shelf (2020)
Journal Article
Mawbey, E. M., Hendry, K. H., Greaves, M. J., Hillenbrand, C., Kuhn, G., Spencer-Jones, C. L., …Smith, J. A. (2020). Mg/Ca-Temperature Calibration of Polar Benthic foraminifera species for reconstruction of bottom water temperatures on the Antarctic shelf. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 283, 54-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2020.05.027

Benthic foraminifera Mg/Ca is a well-established bottom water temperature (BWT) proxy used in paleoclimate studies. The relationship between Mg/Ca and BWT for numerous species has been determined using core-top and culturing studies. However, the sca...

Long-term patterns of hillslope erosion by earthquake-induced landslides shape mountain landscapes (2020)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Howarth, J. D., McClymont, E. L., Densmore, A. L., Fitzsimons, S. J., Croissant, T., …Hilton, R. G. (2020). Long-term patterns of hillslope erosion by earthquake-induced landslides shape mountain landscapes. Science Advances, 6(23), Article eaaz6446. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aaz6446

Widespread triggering of landslides by large storms or earthquakes is a dominant mechanism of erosion in mountain landscapes. If landslides occur repeatedly in particular locations within a mountain range, then they will dominate the landscape evolut...

Late Pliocene Cordilleran Ice Sheet development with warm Northeast Pacific sea surface temperatures (2020)
Journal Article
Sánchez-Montes, M., McClymont, E., Lloyd, J., Müller, J., Cowan, E., Zorzi, C., & de Vernal, A. (2020). Late Pliocene Cordilleran Ice Sheet development with warm Northeast Pacific sea surface temperatures. Climate of the Past, 16(1), 299-313. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-16-299-2020

The initiation and evolution of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet are relatively poorly constrained. International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 341 recovered marine sediments at Site U1417 in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). Here we present alkenone-de...
