The deglaciation of the Americas during the Last Glacial Termination (2020)
Journal Article
Palacios, D., Stokes, C. R., Phillips, F. M., Clague, J. J., Alcalá-Reygosa, J., Andres, N., …Ward, D. J. (2020). The deglaciation of the Americas during the Last Glacial Termination. Earth-Science Reviews, 203, Article 103113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2020.103113

This paper reviews current understanding of deglaciation in North, Central and South America from the Last Glacial Maximum to the beginning of the Holocene. Together with paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic data, we compare and contrast the pace of d... Read More about The deglaciation of the Americas during the Last Glacial Termination.

Bathymetry constrains ocean heat supply to Greenland’s largest glacier tongue (2020)
Journal Article
Schaffer, J., Kanzow, T., von Appen, W., von Albedyll, L., Arndt, J. E., & Roberts, D. H. (2020). Bathymetry constrains ocean heat supply to Greenland’s largest glacier tongue. Nature Geoscience, 13(3), 227-231. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-019-0529-x

Mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet has increased over the past two decades, currently accounting for 25% of global sea-level rise. This is due to increased surface melt driven by atmospheric warming and the retreat and acceleration of marine-term...

Organic Pollutants, Heavy Metals and Toxicity in Oil Spill impacted Salt Marsh Sediment Cores, Staten Island, New York City, USA (2020)
Journal Article
Vane, C., Kim, A., Moss-Hayes, V., Turner, G., Mills, K., Chenery, S., …Brain, M. (2020). Organic Pollutants, Heavy Metals and Toxicity in Oil Spill impacted Salt Marsh Sediment Cores, Staten Island, New York City, USA. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 151, Article 110721. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.110721

Sediment cores from Staten Island's salt marsh contain multiple historical oil spill events that impact ecological health. Microtox solid phase bioassay indicated moderate to high toxicity. Multiple spikes of TPH (6524 to 9586 mg/kg) and Σ16 PAH (15....

A catchment scale assessment of patterns and controls of historic 2D river planform adjustment (2020)
Journal Article
Joyce, H. M., Warburton, J., & Hardy, R. J. (2020). A catchment scale assessment of patterns and controls of historic 2D river planform adjustment. Geomorphology, 354, Article 107046. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107046

The supply, transfer and deposition of sediment from channel headwaters to lowland sinks, is a fundamental process governing upland catchment geomorphology, and can begin to be understood by quantifying 2D river planform adjustments over time. This p... Read More about A catchment scale assessment of patterns and controls of historic 2D river planform adjustment.

Remotely Sensed Rivers in the Anthropocene: State of the Art and Prospects (2020)
Journal Article
Piégay, H., Arnaud, F., Belletti, B., Bertrand, M., Bizzi, S., Carbonneau, P., …Slater, L. (2020). Remotely Sensed Rivers in the Anthropocene: State of the Art and Prospects. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 45(1), 157-188. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4787

The rivers of the world are undergoing accelerated change in the Anthropocene, and need to be managed at much broader spatial and temporal scales than before. Fluvial remote sensing now offers a technical and methodological framework that can be depl... Read More about Remotely Sensed Rivers in the Anthropocene: State of the Art and Prospects.

Identifying the Greatest Earthquakes of the Past 2000 Years at the Nehalem River Estuary, Northern Oregon Coast, USA (2020)
Journal Article
