Birchall, Jeff S.

Climate variability is not a new challenge for coastal communities. However, because climate variability is manifesting with more extreme climate impacts, occurring with greater frequency and with more intensity, the necessity for adaptation to minimize risk is becoming more pronounced. Though...

Bonnett, Nicole, Birchall, Jeff S.

Climate change is one of society’s greatest contemporary challenges. Increasing global temperatures leave coastal locations in particular, vulnerable to impacts that include rising sea levels and more extreme and variable weather events. Stress can be acute for small coastal communities located...

Freeman Peters, Galadriel T., Schneider, Chris L., Leighton, Lindsey R.

This is the supplementary dataset for the paper: Comparison of sclerobiont communities between three brachiopod host species from the Upper Ordovician Fairview Formation (Eastern USA), being published in Lethaia. Freeman Peters G.T., Schneider C.L., & Leighton L.R. (In Press) Comparison of...

Pennelly, Clark, Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G.

The amount of cross‐isobath freshwater exchange within the North Atlantic subpolar gyre is estimated from numerical modelling simulations. A regional configuration of the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean model is used to carry out three simulations with horizontal resolutions of 1/4°,...

Hayashida, Haskase, Christian, James R., Holdsworth, Amber M., Hu, Xianmin, Monahan, Adam H., Mortenson, Eric, Myers, Paul G., Riche, Olivier G. J., Sou, Tessa, Steiner, Nadja S.

Process-based numerical models are a useful tool for studying marine ecosystems and associated biogeochemical processes in ice-covered regions where observations are scarce. To this end, CSIB v1 (Canadian Sea-ice Biogeochemistry version 1), a new sea-ice biogeochemical model, has been developed...

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...

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...

Garcia-Quintana, Yarisbel, Grivault, Nathan, Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G.

The North Icelandic Jet (NIJ) is the densest component of the Denmark Strait Overflow Water, feeding the abyssal limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Here, by using observational and numerical model data, we explore the formation of overflow water on the Icelandic shelf, the...

French, Emily L., Birchall, S. Jeff, Landman, Karen, Brown, Robert D.

In the wake of major earthquakes public open spaces become hubs for both short-term disaster response efforts and support longer-term recovery needs. At present, few open spaces are actually designed to support these intermittent but critical uses. Currently, there is no consolidated body of...

Ren, M., Jones, B.

Meteoric diagenesis in young marine carbonate sediments has commonly been linked to fluctuations in Quaternary glacio-eustatic sea levels. The extent to which these sea-level changes are recorded in these carbonate successions, however, remains questionable. This is amply demonstrated by the...
