Pacific Water Pathway in the Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Gyre in Two Simulations With Different Horizontal Resolutions
Download2019-01-01
Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G., Lu, Youyu
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...

Petrographic and geochemical features of sinkhole-filling deposits associated with an erosional unconformity on Grand Cayman.
Download2015-01-01
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...

Potential positive feedback between Greenland ice sheet melt and Baffin Bay heat content on the west Greenland shelf
Download2015
Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G., de la Guardia, Laura C.
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...

Prevalence and causes of urban homelessness among Indigenous peoples: A three-country scoping review
Download2014-01-01
Anderson, Jalene T, Collins, Damian
A scoping review was carried out to investigate the prevalence and causes of urban homelessness among Indigenous peoples in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Relevant information was sought from both academic and grey literatures. Data on prevalence were sourced from homeless count reports....

Qualitative Inquiry as a Method to Extract Personal Experiences: Approach to research into organizational climate change mitigation
Download2016
Climate change and solutions to solving this wicked problem require a mixed methods research approach that draws on quantitative and qualitative inquiry together. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the applicability (and effectiveness) of a mixed methods approach applied to research...

Recent increases in Arctic freshwater flux affects Labrador Sea convection and Atlantic overturning circulation
Download2016
Chambers, Don, Dixon, Timothy H., Bonin, Jennifer, van den Broeke, M. R., Yang, Qian, Ribergaard, Mads H., Mortensen, John, Myers, Paul G.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is an important component of ocean thermohaline circulation. Melting of Greenland’s ice sheet is freshening the North Atlantic; however, whether the augmented freshwater flux is disrupting the AMOC is unclear. Dense Labrador Sea Water (LSW),...

Response of the Mediterranean Sea thermohaline circulation to observed changes in the winter wind stress field in the period 1980-1993
Download1999
Josey, Simon, Samuel, Sarah, Myers, Paul G., Haines, Keith
This paper seeks to model changes in deep water production in the eastern Mediterranean induced by changes in winter wind stress. An analysis of individual monthly wind stress fields over the Mediterranean for 1980–1993 from the SOC flux data set shows that an intensification of the winter mean...

Melim, Leslie A., Northup. Diana E., Spilde, Michael N., Jones, Brian, Boston, Penelope J., Bixby, Rebecca J.
We report on a reticulated filament found in modern and fossil cave samples that cannot be correlated to any known microorganism or organism part. These filaments were found in moist environments in five limestone caves (four in New Mexico, U.S.A., one in Tabasco, Mexico), and a basalt lava tube...

Aragonite and calcite crystals are the fundamental building blocks of calcareous thermal spring deposits. The diverse array of crystal morphologies found in these deposits, which includes monocrystals, mesocrystals, skeletal crystals, dendrites, and spherulites, are commonly precipitated under...
