Myers, Paul G., Ribergaard, Mads H.
A number of recent studies have shown enhanced retreat of tidewater glaciers over much of southern and western Greenland. One of the fastest retreats has occurred at Jakobshavn Isbrae, with the rapid retreat linked to the arrival of relatively warm and saline Irminger water along the west coast...

Anderson-Baron, Jalene T., Collins, Damian
This article investigates how Housing First (HF) is practiced in Alberta, Canada, with a focus on the concept of graduation. The dominant HF model, Pathways, holds that client support should be time-unlimited. However, HF is highly mobile and increasingly characterized by ambiguity and drift away...

Dynamic carbonate sedimentation in a shallow coastal lagoon: Case study of South Sound, Grand Cayman, British West Indies
Download2002-01-01
Beanish, Jennifer, Jones, Brian
South Sound is a 3.4 km-, shallow (.: 2 m), funnel-shaped lagoon located on the southwest exposed windward margin of Grand Cayman. The composition and distribution of the Thalassia, Sand, Rock Bottom, Brown Algae, Rubble, and Coral Head facies, are controlled by the dynamic interplay between...

Decline and partial rebound of the Labrador Current 1993-2004: Monitoring ocean currents from altimetric and conductivity-temperature-depth data
Download2010
Chen, Nancy, Ohashi, Kyoko, Fischer, Jürgen, Myers, Paul G., Han, Guoqi, Nunes, Nuno
Monitoring and understanding of Labrador Current variability is important because it is intimately linked to the meridional overturning circulation and the marine ecosystem off northeast North America. Nevertheless, knowledge of its decadal variability is inadequate because of scarcity of current...

2005
The transport of freshwater is analyzed in an eddy-permitting regional model of the sub-polar North Atlantic, focusing on the export of freshwater (in liquid form) through Davis Strait. The results show that in the model simulations there is a limited exchange of freshwater between the Labrador...

Severson, Meryn, Collins, Damian
This chapter focuses on wellbeing research in health geography and the ways in which health geographers have made important contributions to understanding the socio-spatial and place-based dimensions of wellbeing. We seek to answer two key questions: What is wellbeing? And why is it important? To...

Cyanobacterial diversity and related sedimentary facies as a function of water flow conditions: Example from the Monasterio de Piedra Natural Park (Spain).
Download2016-01-01
Berrendero, E., Arenas, C., Mateo, P., Jones, B.
The River Piedra in the Monasterio de Piedra Natural Park (NE Spain) is a modern tufa-depositing river that encompasses various depositional environments that are inhabited by different cyanobacterial populations. Molecular (16S rDNA) and morphological analyses of the cyanobacteria from different...

Cave-fills in Miocene-Pliocene strata on Cayman Brac, British West Indies: Implications for the geological evolution of an isolated oceanic island.
Download2016-01-01
An 8-m-high wall in a quarry on the west end of Cayman Brac exposes the upper part of the Cayman Formation (Miocene), the lower part of the overlying Pedro Castle Formation (Pliocene), and the Cayman Unconformity, which is a karstic unconformity that separates these formations. The modern-day...

The reflectance spectra of opal-A (05-22 µm) from the Taupo Volcanic Zone: spectra that may identify hydrothermal systems on planetary systems
Download2004-01-01
Goryniuk, Michelle C., Rivard, Benoit A., Jones, Brian
Opal‐A, the main component of siliceous sinters in many terrestrial hydrothermal systems, is a hydrated silicate that commonly incorporates silicified microorganisms. The detection of opal‐A on the surface of Mars, therefore, may carry important implications in the search for extraterrestrial...

Thinning Sea Ice and Thawing Permafrost: Climate Change Adaptation Planning in Nome, Alaska
Download2019-07-02
Birchall, Jeff S., Bonnett, Nicole
Climate change is among the most critical challenges facing local government decision-makers in the north. Yet while risk is clear, with climate impacts occurring there more rapidly than many regions on Earth, integrated policy and planning for climate adaptation often remains a low priority for...
