Ocean warming, icebergs, and productivity in the Gulf of Alaska during the Last Interglacial (2025)
Journal Article
Sánchez Montes, M. L., McClymont, E. L., Asahi, H., Stoner, J., Moy, C. M., Gleghorn, S., & Lloyd, J. M. (2025). Ocean warming, icebergs, and productivity in the Gulf of Alaska during the Last Interglacial. Frontiers in Earth Science, 12, 1485521. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2024.1485521

The Pacific Ocean is an important region for carbon storage, yet the past ocean–climate interactions are relatively underexplored in explaining glacial/interglacial climate variability during the late Pleistocene re-expansion of the Cordilleran Ice S...

Plio-Pleistocene ocean circulation changes in the Gulf of Alaska and its impacts on the carbon and nitrogen cycles and the Cordilleran Ice Sheet development (2022)
Journal Article
Sánchez Montes, M. L., Romero, O. E., Cowan, E. A., Müller, J., Moy, C. M., Lloyd, J. M., & McClymont, E. L. (2022). Plio-Pleistocene ocean circulation changes in the Gulf of Alaska and its impacts on the carbon and nitrogen cycles and the Cordilleran Ice Sheet development. Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 37(7), e2021PA004341. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021PA004341

The modern Gulf of Alaska (GOA) is a Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS) region, estimated to be important for nutrient cycling and CO2 exchange. Little is known of the GOA evolution over the Pliocene and Pleistocene as well as its impact on the CIS developm...

Late Pliocene Cordilleran Ice Sheet development with warm Northeast Pacific sea surface temperatures (2020)
Journal Article
Sánchez-Montes, M. L., McClymont, E. L., Lloyd, J. M., Müller, J., Cowan, E. A., 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...
