Latitudinal heat transport in the ocean and atmosphere represents a fundamental process of the Earth's climate system. The ocean component of heat transport is effected by the thermohaline circulation. Changes in this circulation, and hence latitudin

The limestone/marlstone bedding couplets of the Bridge Creek Limestone Member, Cenomanian-Turonian Greenhorn Formation, were analyzed by applying spectral techniques to high-resolution lithologic and geochemical data from a core. The results suggest

Using the atmosphere-hydrosphere component of a paleoclimate model, the model sensitivity on a short time scale to changes in the parameterization of the surface albedo is examined in the context of response to orbitally produced insolation anomalies

The theory of Nye and of Weertman of traveling waves on glaciers is extended to cover the situation where the presence of abundant basal water or increased basal water pressure produces increased sliding of a glacier over its bed. It is found that th

Walder recently analyzed the initial instability of water flow in a sheet under a glacier that is produced by greater heat production in the flowing water and thus the larger rate of ice melting where a perturbation has increased the water sheet thic

Evidence as to the potential roles of marine ice flows in the dramatic climatological changes which have occurred from the late Pleistocene to the present is reviewed, indicating the need for careful modeling studies to evaluate several crucial hypot

A model for predicting the growth and decay of ice sheets based on the astronomical theory of climate change is presented. The purpose of the study in part is to isolate the role of the ice-sheet physics and earth response under varying ice load by s

A study of antarctic accumulaton, surface temperature and elevation data reveals a strong correlation between the accumulation rate and the surface temperature which, in turn, is almost uniquely determined by the elevation of the ice sheet surface. T

By solving an initial value problem, the time-dependent response of a large circular model lake to a steady wind stress has been investigated. Bottom stress has been neglected. The forced response has been divided naturally into a “seiche” respon

The response of a combined global zonal-averaged energy balance model and a continental ice-sheet model to insulation anomalies produced by orbital perturbations is examined. Although the role of ice sheet dynamics is included in the model, this pape
