Palaeoceanography of the Japan Sea Across the Mid‐Pleistocene Transition: Insights From IODP Exp. 346, Site U1427. Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 37(1), Article e2021PA004236. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021pa004236

Large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns, such as the East Asian monsoon, have been proposed as possible feedbacks of the mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT). Marine sediments of the Japan Sea (JS) record variations in the East Asian monsoon over lo...

Lake sediments are important archives of past climate variability and lake responses to climate. In order to accurately infer past climates, it is necessary to understand, and account for, the ecological processes that affect the record of indicators...

Heterogenous Late Holocene Climate in the Eastern Mediterranean—The Kocain Cave Record From SW Turkey. Geophysical Research Letters, 48(20), Article e2021GL094733. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021GL094733

Palaeoclimate variability must be constrained to predict the nature and impacts of future climate change in the Eastern Mediterranean. Here, we present a late Holocene high-resolution multiproxy data set from Kocain Cave, the first of its kind from S...

Thrust faulting in glaciers? Re-examination of debris bands near the margin of Storglaciären, Sweden (2021)
Journal Article
Monz, M. E., Hudleston, P. J., Cook, S. J., Zimmerman, T., & Leng, M. J. (2022). Thrust faulting in glaciers? Re-examination of debris bands near the margin of Storglaciären, Sweden. Boreas, 51(1), 78-99. https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12549

Thrust faulting has been suggested as a viable mechanism of debris transport at many glaciers, often inferred from the presence of up-glacier dipping bands of debris that emerge at the ice surface to form ridges of basally derived material. However,... Read More about Thrust faulting in glaciers? Re-examination of debris bands near the margin of Storglaciären, Sweden.

Tracing Glacial Meltwater From the Greenland Ice Sheet to the Ocean Using Gliders (2021)
Journal Article

The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is experiencing significant mass loss and freshwater discharge at glacier fronts. The freshwater input from Greenland will impact the physical properties of adjacent coastal seas, including important regions of deep wat...

Temperature Gradients Across the Pacific Ocean During the Middle Miocene (2021)
Journal Article
Fox, L. R., Wade, B. S., Holbourn, A., Leng, M. J., & Bhatia, R. (2021). Temperature Gradients Across the Pacific Ocean During the Middle Miocene. Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 36(6), 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1029/2020PA003924

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) of the tropical Pacific Ocean exert powerful controls on regional and global climates. Previous studies have suggested that during warm climate phases, the east-west temperature gradient collapsed. To date, there has b...

The Arctic is rapidly changing, disrupting biogeochemical cycles and the processing, delivery and sedimentation of carbon (C), in linked terrestrial-aquatic systems. In this investigation, we coupled a hydrogeomorphic assessment of catchment soils, s...
