The contribution of glacial isostatic adjustment to projections of sea‐level change along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America (2016)
Journal Article
Love, R., Milne, G. A., Tarasov, L., Engelhart, S. E., Hijma, M. P., Latychev, K., …Törnqvist, T. E. (2016). The contribution of glacial isostatic adjustment to projections of sea‐level change along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America. Earth's Future, 4(10), 440-464. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016ef000363

We determine the contribution of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA ) to future relative sea‐level change for the North American coastline between Newfoundland and Texas. We infer GIA model parameters using recently compiled and quality‐assessed datab...

Testing the Utility of Geochemical Proxies to Reconstruct Holocene Coastal Environments and Relative Sea Level: A Case Study from Hungry Bay, Bermuda (2019)
Journal Article
Kemp, A. C., Vane, C. H., Khan, N. S., Ellison, J. C., Engelhart, S. E., Horton, B. P., …Moyer, R. P. (2019). Testing the Utility of Geochemical Proxies to Reconstruct Holocene Coastal Environments and Relative Sea Level: A Case Study from Hungry Bay, Bermuda. Open Quaternary, 5, 1-18. https://doi.org/10.5334/oq.49

On low-lying, tropical and sub-tropical coastlines freshwater marshes may be replaced by salt-tolerant mangroves in response to relative sea-level rise. Pollen analysis of radiocarbon-dated sediment cores showed that such a change occurred in Hungry...

Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica (2020)
Journal Article
Arthur, J., Stokes, C., Jamieson, S., Carr, J., & Leeson, A. (2020). Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. The Cryosphere, 14(11), 4103-4120. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-14-4103-2020

Supraglacial lakes (SGLs) enhance surface melting and can flex and fracture ice shelves when they grow and subsequently drain, potentially leading to ice shelf disintegration. However, the seasonal evolution of SGLs and their influence on ice shelf s... Read More about Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica.

Transatlantic distribution of the Alaskan White River Ash (2017)
Journal Article
Jensen, B. J., Pyne-O’Donnell, S., Plunkett, G., Froese, D. G., Hughes, P. D., Sigl, M., …Pilcher, J. R. (2017). Transatlantic distribution of the Alaskan White River Ash. Geology, 42(10), 875–878. https://doi.org/10.1130/g35945.1

Volcanic ash layers preserved within the geologic record represent precise time markers that correlate disparate depositional environments and enable the investigation of synchronous and/or asynchronous behaviors in Earth system and archaeological sc...

Latitudinal limits to the predicted increase of the peatland carbon sink with warming (2018)
Journal Article
Gallego-Sala, A. V., Charman, D. J., Brewer, S., Page, S. E., Prentice, I. C., Friedlingstein, P., …Zhao, Y. (2018). Latitudinal limits to the predicted increase of the peatland carbon sink with warming. Nature Climate Change, 8(10), 907–913. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-018-0271-1

The carbon sink potential of peatlands depends on the balance of carbon uptake by plants and microbial decomposition. The rates of both these processes will increase with warming but it remains unclear which will dominate the global peatland response...

Human settlement of East Polynesia earlier, incremental, and coincident with prolonged South Pacific drought (2020)
Journal Article
Sear, D. A., Allen, M. S., Hassall, J. D., Maloney, A. E., Langdon, P. G., Morrison, A. E., …Pearson, E. (2020). Human settlement of East Polynesia earlier, incremental, and coincident with prolonged South Pacific drought. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 117(16), 8813-8819. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1920975117

The timing of human colonization of East Polynesia, a vast area lying between Hawai‘i, Rapa Nui, and New Zealand, is much debated and the underlying causes of this great migration have been enigmatic. Our study generates evidence for human dispersal... Read More about Human settlement of East Polynesia earlier, incremental, and coincident with prolonged South Pacific drought.

Major ice‐sheet change in the Weddell Sector of West Antarctica over the last 5000 years (2019)
Journal Article
Siegert, M. J., Kingslake, J., Ross, N., Whitehouse, P. L., Woodward, J., Jamieson, S. S., …Sugden, D. E. (2019). Major ice‐sheet change in the Weddell Sector of West Antarctica over the last 5000 years. Reviews of Geophysics, 57(4), 1197-1223. https://doi.org/10.1029/2019rg000651

Until recently, little was known about the Weddell Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. In the last 10 years, a variety of expeditions and numerical modelling experiments have improved knowledge of its glaciology, glacial geology, and tectonic...
