Driving Mechanisms of an Extreme Winter Sea Ice Breakup Event in the Beaufort Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The thick multiyear sea ice that once covered large parts of the Arctic is increasingly being replaced by thinner and weaker first-year ice, making it more vulnerable to breakup by winds. We use the neXtSIM sea ice model ... -
Early Holocene Temperature Oscillations Exceed Amplitude of Observed and Projected Warming in Svalbard Lakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Arctic climate is uniquely sensitive to ongoing warming. The feedbacks that drive this amplified response remain insufficiently quantified and misrepresented in model scenarios of future warming. Comparison with paleotemperature ... -
Global Recharge Data Set Indicates Strengthened Groundwater Connection to Surface Fluxes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Groundwater is an invaluable global resource, but its long-term viability as a resource for consumption, agriculture, and ecosystems depends on precipitation recharging aquifers. How much precipitation recharges groundwaters ... -
Ice Thickness and Bed Elevation of the Northern and Southern Patagonian Icefields
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The Northern and Southern Patagonian Icefields are the largest ice masses in the Southern Hemisphere outside Antarctica, but their ice volume and bed topography are poorly known. Here, we combine airborne gravity data ... -
Imaging Subduction Beneath Mount St. Helens: Implications for Slab Dehydration and Magma Transport
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Mount St. Helens (MSH) is anomalously 35–50 km trenchward of the main Cascade arc. To elucidate the source of this anomalous forearc volcanism, the teleseismic‐scattered wavefield is used to image beneath MSH with a dense ... -
Investigating Fine‐Scale Permeability Structure and Its Control on Hydrothermal Activity Along a Fast‐Spreading Ridge (the East Pacific Rise, 9°43′–53′N) Using Seismic Velocity, Poroelastic Response, and Numerical Modeling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Along with the intracrustal heat source, crustal permeability is considered as the controlling factor for hydrothermal circulation within zero‐age oceanic crust. To obtain fine‐scale, 2‐D models of upper crustal permeability ... -
Northward shifts in the polar front preceded Bølling and Holocene warming in southwestern Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The last deglaciation in northern Europe provides an opportunity to study the hydrologic component of abrupt climate shifts in a region with complex interactions between ice sheets and oceanic and atmospheric circulation. ... -
Wavefield Migration Imaging of Moho Geometry and Upper Mantle Structure Beneath Southern New England
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The crust and upper mantle beneath the New England Appalachians exhibit a large offset of the Moho across the boundary between Laurentia and accreted terranes and several dipping discontinuities, which reflect Paleozoic ...
