Late Quaternary sedimentary architecture and depositional history of the Monahans Dune Field, Winkler County, TX.
The Monahans dune field is a Quaternary eolian system on the Southern High Plains in west Texas. Previous work characterizing the Monahans is limited by the depth and spatial coverage of stratigraphic analyses. This study presents the initial results of an ongoing study of the dune system …

Late quaternary Alaskan paleoclimate : geoarchaeological insights into the Pleistocene-Holocene transition.
… and sedimentological analyses to reconstruct paleoclimate and the site formation history of three archaeological sites in Alaska: Dry Creek in the Nenana River Valley, Owl Ridge in the Teklanika River Valley, and Serpentine Hot Springs on the Seward Peninsula. This work reveals a progressive …

Holocene variations in summer temperature and effective moisture: Understanding the causes of vegetational dynamics in Alaska
Arctic tree-line response to 21st century warming is an important positive feedback mechanisms that can facilitate further tree line advance and amplify changes to the global heat budget through changes in the planetary albedo and effects on soil carbon pools. However, responses of the …

RECONSTRUCTING CLIMATE ON THE GREAT PLAINS FROM BURIED SOILS: A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH
… quantitative paleoclimatic data for the late Quaternary largely because two common sources of paleoclimatic data, tree ring and pollen records, are rare in the region. Sequences of buried soils, however, are commonly preserved in eolian and alluvial sediments on the Great Plains and have the …
