Poleward Shift of the Major Ocean Gyres Detected in a Warming Climate
Hu Yang,Gerrit Lohmann,Uta Krebs-Kanzow,Monica Ionita,Xiaoxu Shi,D. Sidorenko,Xun Gong,Xueen Chen,Evan J. Gowan +8 more
TL;DR: Based on satellite observations of sea surface height and sea surface temperature, this article found a consistent poleward shift of the major ocean gyres, implying that natural variations may contribute to the observed trends.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asian dust-storm activity dominated by Chinese dynasty changes since 2000 BP.
Fahu Chen,Fahu Chen,Shengqian Chen,Xu Zhang,Xu Zhang,Xu Zhang,Jianhui Chen,Xin Wang,Evan J. Gowan,Mingrui Qiang,Mingrui Qiang,Guanghui Dong,Zongli Wang,Yuecong Li,Qinghai Xu,Yangyang Xu,John P. Smol,Jianbao Liu,Jianbao Liu +18 more
TL;DR: A new record of dust storm intensity shows a relationship between the stability of dynasties and dust storm activity for the last ~2200 years, which argues for a strong human control of dust storms in East Asia over this time.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new global ice sheet reconstruction for the past 80 000 years
Evan J. Gowan,Xu Zhang,Xu Zhang,Sara Khosravi,Alessio Rovere,Paolo Stocchi,Anna L.C. Hughes,Anna L.C. Hughes,Richard Gyllencreutz,Jan Mangerud,John Inge Svendsen,Gerrit Lohmann +11 more
TL;DR: PaleoMIST 1.0 as discussed by the authors provides a global reconstruction of ice sheets for the past 80,000 years that allows to test proxy-based sea level reconstructions and helps to reconcile disagreements with sea level changes inferred from models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscosity of the asthenosphere from glacial isostatic adjustment and subduction dynamics at the northern Cascadia subduction zone, British Columbia, Canada
Thomas S. James,Thomas S. James,Evan J. Gowan,Evan J. Gowan,Ikuko Wada,Ikuko Wada,Kelin Wang,Kelin Wang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) fore arc is modeled with a linear Maxwell rheology, and the authors show that the observations can be equally well fit across a wide range of asthenospheric thicknesses, provided that the viscosity is varied from 3 × 1018 Pa s for a thin (140 km) asthenosphere to 4 × 1019 Pa s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sea-level change and paleogeographic reconstructions, southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Thomas S. James,Thomas S. James,Evan J. Gowan,Evan J. Gowan,Ian Hutchinson,John J. Clague,J. Vaughn Barrie,J. Vaughn Barrie,Kim W. Conway +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used radiocarbon ages to constrain deglacial and postglacial sea levels on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and found the low stand at −30±5m at about 11,200-cal BP (9800 BP).
