Ammonium (NH4+), ammonia (NH3) and N2 are key nitrogen species in geological nitrogen recycling. NH3 has also been proposed to play an important role in mobilizing base metals in the form of metal-ammine complexes in hydrothermal fluids. The nitrogen isotope fractionation factors among these...

A 1/4° degree ocean general circulation model is used to examine the role that four different wind stress climatologies play on the circulation of the Mediterranean. The wind stress climatologies examined are those derived from numerical weather prediction models (National Meteorological Center...

On Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac, karst development on the upper surface of the Cayman Formation during the late Miocene lowstand produced the Cayman Unconformity. On Grand Cayman, this led to the development of a deep, atoll-shaped depression on the western part of the island. The ensuing Lower...

For decades oceanographers have understood the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) to be primarily driven by changes in the production of deep-water formation in the subpolar and subarctic North Atlantic. Indeed, current Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections...

A set of numerical simulations (with horizontal resolutions of 1/4 degrees and 1/12 degrees ) is conducted to study the Pacific Water pathway in the Arctic Ocean and the freshwater content in Beaufort Gyre. Passive tracer tags the Pacific Water entering through Bering Strait into the Arctic Ocean...

The Proterozoic Grenville orogeny (~ 1300–980 Ma) reactivated the Archean-hosted Kapuskasing suture in Laurentia which then propagated west and south initiating the Keweenaw rift (1141–1085 Ma) which closed by thrust shortening at 1060 Ma. Late Proterozoic-Paleozoic sediments were then deformed...

On Grand Cayman, exposures of dolostones belonging to the Cayman Formation (Miocene) represent an erosional unconformity that has been developing since the late Pliocene (~ 3.6 Ma). Sinkholes that developed during this time have remained open or become partly to fully filled with various...

The photo-elicitation method can provide rich insights into homemaking – the process whereby residents use, modify and personalize domestic space. However, previous studies have prioritized the words of participants, gathered in follow-up interviews, over photographs themselves. This paper...

Greenland ice sheet meltwater runoff has been increasing in recent decades, especially in the southwest and the northeast. To determine the impact of this accelerating meltwater flux on Baffin Bay, we examine eight numerical experiments using an ocean-sea ice model: Nucleus for European Modelling...
