Separating the influence of projected changes in air temperature and wind on patterns of sea level change and ocean heat content
Download2015
Saenko, Oleg A., Myers, Paul G., Gregory, Jonathan M., Yang, Duo, Spence, Paul
We present ocean model sensitivity experiments aimed at separating the influence of the projected changes in the “thermal” (near-surface air temperature) and “wind” (near-surface winds) forcing on the patterns of sea level and ocean heat content. In the North Atlantic, the distribution of sea...

Merckelbach, L. M., Pyke, R., Chan, D., Znidarcic, D., Bartholomeeusen, G., Winterwerp, H., Penumadu, D., Carrier, W. D., van Kesteren, W., Masala, S., Sills, G. C., Lin, H.
Large-strain consolidation theory is widely used for the management of dredged disposal sites. The theory is universally accepted to deal with this problem, though the determination of the material properties is not yet standardised. Decisions made on this level can lead to the prediction of a...

In this dissertation we focus on numerical models of rotating anelastic convection, in particular the entropy boundary condition, with application to the giant planets. The first chapter details atmospheric features of giant planets and the numerical formulation of anelastic convection. The...

The LAB60 simulation is a coupled ocean sea-ice model (NEMO) that uses grid refinement to achieve high resolution (1/60 of a degree) within the Labrador Sea. This simulation starts in 2002 and will cover a period of over 10 years. This video shows the stratification strength (convective energy)...

The GeoStudio 2007 convection module a finite element program was used to examine convection in porous embankments and waste rock piles and compared to literature numerical and experimental examples by Goering and Kumar (1996) and Goering (2000) and field data from Diavik waste rock test piles. ...

In western Canada, the Archean-aged cratonic core of the North American continent is flanked on its western edge by the Cordillera, which forms the back arc region of the Cascadia subduction zone. The boundary between these two geologic provinces is expressed at the surface by a system of NNW-SSE...

Using Vertically Integrated Ocean Fields to Characterize Greenland Icebergs’ Distribution and Lifetime
Download2018-01-01
Marson, Juliana M., Myers, Paul G., Hu, Xianmin, Le Sommer, Julien
Icebergs represent approximately half of Greenland’s yearly mass loss, having important implications for biological productivity, freshwater fluxes in the ocean, and navigation. This study applies an iceberg model that uses integrated ocean fields (from surface to iceberg keel) to simulate the...
