Journal ArticleDOI
Holocene changes in eastern tropical Pacific climate inferred from a Galápagos lake sediment record
Jessica L. Conroy,Jonathan T. Overpeck,Julia E. Cole,Timothy M. Shanahan,Miriam Steinitz-Kannan +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new, continuous, climate record from El Junco Crater Lake in the Galapagos Islands reveals several abrupt changes in lake level and precipitation through the Holocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing Eolian Dust Deposition in the Western United States Linked to Human Activity
Jason C. Neff,Ashley P. Ballantyne,G. L. Farmer,Natalie M. Mahowald,Natalie M. Mahowald,Jessica L. Conroy,Christopher C. Landry,Jonathan T. Overpeck,Thomas H. Painter,Corey R. Lawrence,Richard L. Reynolds +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the accumulation rates and geochemical properties of alpine lake sediments from the western interior United States for the past 5,000 years have been determined and it was shown that dust load levels increased by 500% above the late Holocene average following the increased western settlement of the United States during the nineteenth century.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The evolution of ocean temperature measurement systems is presented with a focus on the development and accuracy of two critical devices in use today (expendable bathythermographs and conductivity-temperature-depth instruments used on Argo floats).
Journal ArticleDOI
Varied Response of Western Pacific Hydrology to Climate Forcings over the Last Glacial Period
Stacy A. Carolin,Kim M. Cobb,Jess F. Adkins,B. F. C. Clark,Jessica L. Conroy,Syria Lejau,Jenny Malang,Andrew Alek Tuen +7 more
TL;DR: Four absolutely dated, overlapping stalagmite oxygen isotopic records from northern Borneo that span most of the last glacial cycle suggest that the deep tropical Pacific hydroclimate variability may have played an important role in shaping the global response to the largest abrupt climate change events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unprecedented recent warming of surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean
Jessica L. Conroy,Alejandra Restrepo,Jonathan T. Overpeck,Miriam Steinitz-Kannan,Julia E. Cole,Mark B. Bush,Paul A. Colinvaux +6 more
TL;DR: A diatom-based record of sea surface temperatures from El Junco lake, Galapagos, reveals that the most recent half-century is the warmest 50-year period in the past 1,200 years as discussed by the authors.
