A Palaeoecological approach to understanding the impact of coastal changes in Late Holocene societies using the Isles of Scilly as a case study
… a high resolution record of vegetation and storminess during the last 3000 years in Scilly, with a robust chronological setting, and also to offer an accurate shape of the coastline of Scilly since the early Holocene. Three terrestrial pollen stratigraphic sequences from the Isles of Scilly …

Capsizing of ships : static and dynamic analysis of wind effect and cost implications
… to ensure safe operational procedures. While the storminess of the sea cannot be controlled, the navigation procedure can. Large offshore ships tend to navigate in a path to avoid forecasted severe weather, and in cases of stormy seas they temporarily operate at safe speeds and in the direction …

Environmental Impacts on the Development and Dune Activity of Oxbow Lake along the Southwest Coast of Lake Michigan at Saugatuck, Michigan USA
… is linked to periods of wet conditions and storminess, and results can be used as a modern analogue for coastal dune activity during times of high lake level.

Simulation Modeling of Karst Aquifer Conduit Evolution and Relations to Climate
… of cave growth. However, an increase in the “storminess” of the climate did not simply equate to more dissolution and thus conduit growth. Rather, the quantity and duration of surface contact between water and the conduit walls combined with dissolution rates to affect the total growth. The …

Storm signatures in coastal ponds and marshes over the late Holocene
… in response to potential future changes in storminess.

THE CARBON DYNAMICS OF CONTRASTING FRESHWATER PONDS
… However, pond carbon-cycling responded to storminess and temperature-extremes, making them vulnerable to projected anthropogenic climate-forcing.

Stormy records from peat bogs in south-west Sweden : implications for regional climatic variability and vegetation changes during the past 6500 years
… are similar at both study sites, with peaks of storminess around 4700, 2800-2000, 1500, 1100, 700 and 400-50 cal. yrs BP. These time periods are in good agreement with, for example, dune re-activation phases in Denmark. A comparison to land use in the region shows that ASI values are highest …

Aerosol chemistry and air-snow transfer in coastal Antarctica
… cores. Rather than an indication of increased storminess and long range transport, high loadings of sea salt could actually give information on the extent of new, fresh sea ice and could therefore be used to infer the local temperature, sea ice extent and possible wind direction at the time of …

Coastal vulnerability assessment of Co. Dublin and Co. Wicklow to impacts of sea-level rise
… to the effects of future sea-level rise and storminess were identified in North Dublin (Bull Island and Sutton) and Wicklow from both current and future vulnerability assessments. A consistent methodology, within a well-defined conceptual framework and the development of a robust specific …

Dendrochronological investigations of living and relict yew trees from eastern England
… the later pluvial was likely driven by increased storminess in the North Atlantic, a sea-level rise in the North Sea, and a prolonged negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation, which jointly resulted in severe waterlogging of the region. The temporal coincidence of the shift with the …

Investigations of temporal changes in climate and the geomagnetic field via high-resolution radiocarbon dating
… has previously indicated a change to increased storminess and wet¬ter conditions around this period. The 14C wiggle-match dating technique was applied to constrain the timing of these events. Within the age model uncertainties, the shift towards wetter and windier conditions in southern Sweden …

The Ups and Downs of the Holocene: Exploring Relationships between Global CO2 and Climate Variability in the North Atlantic Region
… conditions, indicate a period of increased storminess and cooler winters at c. 11,150 cal. yr BP. This was followed by a period of stability in both seasons between c. 11,000 and 10,680 cal. yr BP, at which time a distinct increase in variability is suggested by the data. Notably, a mainly …

The role of wind and water in shaping earth's plateaus
… of convection is subdued, with lower degrees of storminess and a stronger expected isotope-elevation relationship. This finding of present-day fractionation trends of meteoric water is of great importance for paleoenvironmental studies in attempts to use stable isotope relationships in the …

Modelling the economic implications of coastal managed retreat
… change through rising sea levels and increasing storminess. It uses Evolutionary Economic analysis, System Dynamics, Scenario Planning and Robust Decision Making to identify Dynamic Adaptative Policy Pathways for implementation. The approach models nine scenarios of climate risk, coastal …

Shorebirds in a changing landscape: Assessing the top-down and bottom-up drivers of American oystercatcher (<i>Haematopus palliatus</i>) reproductive success in the Virginia barrier islands
… variability may be a result of patterns of storminess along the Virginia coast 2004–2021, while spatial variability is likely due to localized differences in the geomorphological and ecological processes that control habitat availability, including sediment dynamics (e.g., sand erosion …
