  • Placing the east-west North American aridity gradient in a multi-century context

    Open AccessDaniel A Bishop, Park Williams et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Instrumental records indicate a century-long trend towards drying over western North America and wetting over eastern North America. A continuation of these trends into the future would have significant hydroclimatic and socioeconomic consequences in both the semi-arid Southwest and humid East. Using tree-ring reconstructions and hydrologic simulations of summer soil moisture, we evaluate and contextualize the modern summer aridity gradient withi…

  • The improbable but unexceptional occurrence of megadrought clustering in the American West during the Medieval Climate Anomaly

    Open AccessSloan Coats, Jason E Smerdon et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    The five most severe and persistent droughts in the American West (AW) during the Common Era occurred during a 450 year period known as the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA—850–1299 C.E.). Herein we use timeseries modeling to estimate the probability of such a period of hydroclimate change occurring. Clustering of severe and persistent drought during an MCA-length period occurs in approximately 10% of surrogate timeseries that were constructed to ha…

  • El Niño's impact on California precipitation

    Open AccessBor‐Ting Jong, Bor-Ting Jong et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    California has experienced severe drought in recent years posing great challenges to agricultural production, water resources, and land management. El Niño, as the prime source of seasonal to interannual climate predictability, offers the potential of amelioration of drought in California. Here El Niño's impacts on California winter precipitation are examined, focusing on variations by season, region, and the strength of El Niño using observation…

  • North American megadroughts in the Common Era

    Open AccessBenjamin I Cook, Edward R Cook et al.ARTICLEWiley Interdisciplinary Reviews…2016Citada por: 5Referencias: 5

    During the Medieval Climate Anomaly ( MCA ), Western North America experienced episodes of intense aridity that persisted for multiple decades or longer. These megadroughts are well documented in many proxy records, but the causal mechanisms are poorly understood. General circulation models ( GCMs ) simulate megadroughts, but do not reproduce the temporal clustering of events during the MCA , suggesting they are not caused by the time history of …

  • Old World megadroughts and pluvials during the Common Era

    An atlas of megadroughts in Europe and in the Mediterranean Basin during the Common Era provides insights into climate variability.

  • The (Re/De)construction of Clodius in Cicero's Speeches

    Open AccessRobin SeagerARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly2014Citada por: 1Referencias: 8

    The purpose of this paper is to examine the variations in Cicero's treatment of Clodius in his speeches and to suggest reasons why these variations occur. The treatment of five principal themes will be considered: (1) Clodius' relationship with Gabinius and Piso; (2) Clodius’ alleged link with Catiline and/or surviving Catilinarians; (3) the Bona Dea affair; (4) Clodius’ alleged incest with one or more of his sisters; (5) Clodius’ supposed insani…

  • Polybius’ Distortions of the Roman ‘Constitution’

    Robin SeagerCHAPTERPolybius And His World Essays In…2013

    Polybius' account of the mixed constitution of Rome in Book 6 has recently been viewed through the lens of debate over whether oligarchic or democratic elements predominate. It is important, however, to see Book 6 as written in the light of two axioms of great importance: Polybius' belief that the Roman constitution was responsible for her rise to power, and that the mixed constitution was the best of all constitutions. These determining principl…

  • Rome and Persia 357–9

    Robin SeagerCHAPTERAncient historiography and its…2010

    This chapter deals with two aspects of Ammianus Marcellinus's account of the satrap Tamsapor's role in the renewal of hostilities between Rome and Persia on Rome's eastern frontier in AD 359. The first section argues that Tamsapor deliberately sabotaged the negotiations initiated by the prefect Musonianus in 357. The reactions and motives of Sapor II and Constantius II are also examined. The second section investigates the precise nature of Tamsa…

  • Megadroughts in North America

    Open AccessEdward R Cook, Robin Seager et al.ARTICLEJournal of Quaternary Science2010

    IPCC Assessment Report 4 model projections suggest that the subtropical dry zones of the world will both dry and expand poleward in the future due to greenhouse warming. The US Southwest is particularly vulnerable in this regard and model projections indicate a progressive drying there out to the end of the 21st century. At the same time, the USA has been in a state of drought over much of the West for about 10 years now. While severe, this turn …

  • Model Projections of an Imminent Transition to a More Arid Climate in Southwestern North America

    Open AccessRobin Seager, Richard Seager et al.ARTICLEScience2007

    How anthropogenic climate change will affect hydroclimate in the arid regions of southwestern North America has implications for the allocation of water resources and the course of regional development. Here we show that there is a broad consensus among climate models that this region will dry in the 21st century and that the transition to a more arid climate should already be under way. If these models are correct, the levels of aridity of the r…

  • North American droughts of the mid to late nineteenth century

    Open AccessCeline Herweijer, Robin Seager et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2006Citada por: 5

    Unlike the major droughts of the twentieth century that are readily identified in the instrumental record, similar events in the nineteenth century have to be identified using a combination of proxy data, historical accounts and a sparse collection of early instrumental records. In the USA, three distinct periods of widespread and persistent drought stand out in these records for the latter half of the nineteenth century: 1856-1865, 1870-1877 and…

  • Suppression of El Niño during the Mid‐Holocene by changes in the Earth's orbit

    Open AccessAmy Clement, Amy C Clement et al.ARTICLEPaleoceanography2000

    A number of recent reports have interpreted paleoproxy data to describe the state of the tropical Pacific, especially changes in the behavior of the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO), over the Holocene. These interpretations are often contradictory, especially for the eastern tropical Pacific and adjacent areas of South America. Here we suggest a picture of the mid‐Holocene tropical Pacific region which reconciles the data. ENSO variability was…

  • Roman policy on the Rhine and the Danube in Ammianus

    Open AccessRobin SeagerARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1999Citada por: 4Referencias: 1

    On the northern frontiers, as on the eastern, Ammianus conceives of Rome's policy as fundamentally defensive. The essential requirement is to keep the barbarians out, or, if past negligence or failure has let them in, to drive them out, then keep them out for the future. But throughout his work there emerges a consistent constellation of themes
