  • Recently exposed vegetation reveals Holocene changes in the extent of the Quelccaya Ice Cap, Peru

    Open AccessAron M Buffen, A Buffen et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2009

    Radiocarbon dating of well-preserved, in-place vegetation exposed by the retreating Quelccaya Ice Cap of southeastern Peru constrains the last time the ice cap's extent was smaller than at present. Seventeen plant samples from two sites along the central western margin collectively date to 4700 and 5100 cal yr BP and strongly indicate that current ice cap retreat is unprecedented over the past ∼ 5 millennia. Seventeen vegetation samples interbedd…

  • Kilimanjaro Ice Core Records

    Open AccessLonnie G Thompson, Ellen Mosley-Thompson et al.ARTICLEScience2002

    Six ice cores from Kilimanjaro provide an ∼11.7-thousand-year record of Holocene climate and environmental variability for eastern equatorial Africa, including three periods of abrupt climate change: ∼8.3, ∼5.2, and ∼4 thousand years ago (ka). The latter is coincident with the “First Dark Age,” the period of the greatest historically recorded drought in tropical Africa. Variable deposition of F – and Na + during the African Humid Period suggests …

  • Accumulation rates in South and Central Greenland

    C J van der Veen, Ellen Mosley-Thompson et al.ARTICLEPolar Geography2001

    This is the second of two papers summarizing the glaciological observations made on the southern and central parts of the Greenland Ice Sheet during two field campaigns conducted during the 1980s by scientists at The Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center. Three large clusters of survey stations, as well as a strain grid leading to the Dye‐3 borehole, were deployed and surveyed in 1980, and resurveyed the next summer (1981). In 1987 a…

  • Holocene Climate Variability in Antarctica Based on 11 Ice-Core Isotopic Records

    Open AccessValérie Masson‐delmotte, Valérie Masson et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2000

    A comparison is made of the Holocene records obtained from water isotope measurements along 11 ice cores from coastal and central sites in east Antarctica (Vostok, Dome B, Plateau Remote, Komsomolskaia, Dome C, Taylor Dome, Dominion Range, D47, KM105, and Law Dome) and west Antarctica (Byrd), with temporal resolution from 20 to 50 yr. The long-term trends possibly reflect local ice sheet elevation fluctuations superimposed on common climatic fluc…

  • Two decades of glaciological investigations in South and Central Greenland

    C J van der Veen, Kenneth C Jezek et al.ARTICLEPolar Geography2000

    This report is the first of two papers summarizing the glaciologal observations made on the southern and central parts of the Greenland Ice Sheet during two field campaigns conducted during the 1980s by scientists at The Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center. Three large clusters of survey stations, as well as a strain grid leading to the Dye‐3 borehole, were deployed and surveyed in 1980, and resurveyed the next summer (1981). In 19…

  • Tropical Climate Instability

    Open AccessLonnie G Thompson, Tandong Yao et al.ARTICLEScience1997

    An ice core record from the Guliya ice cap on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau provides evidence of regional climatic conditions over the last glacial cycle. 36 Cl data suggest that the deepest 20 meters of the core may be more than 500,000 years old. The δ 18 O change across Termination I is ∼5.4 per mil, similar to that in the Huascarán (Peru) and polar ice cores. Three Guliya interstadials (Stages 3, 5a, and 5c) are marked by increases in δ 18 O va…

  • Late Glacial Stage and Holocene Tropical Ice Core Records from Huascarán, Peru

    Open AccessLonnie G Thompson, Ellen Mosley-Thompson et al.ARTICLEScience1995

    Two ice cores from the col of Huascarán in the north-central Andes of Peru contain a paleoclimatic history extending well into the Wisconsinan (Würm) Glacial Stage and include evidence of the Younger Dryas cool phase. Glacial stage conditions at high elevations in the tropics appear to have been as much as 8° to 12°C cooler than today, the atmosphere contained about 200 times as much dust, and the Amazon Basin forest cover may have been much less…

  • Temporal and spatial variations of climate in China during the last 10 000 years

    Open AccessZhaodong Feng, Zhaodong Feng Zhaodong Feng et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene1993Citada por: 3Referências: 1

    Archaeological, geological, historical, tree-ring and instrumental data indicate that the last 10 000 years were characterized in China by climatic variations at various temporal and spatial scales. The period from 10 000 to 9000 BP was one of increasing temperature. The Holocene 'Optimal Period' occurred approximately between 9000 and 3000 BP, within which there were two major cool episodes around 7300 amd 5700 BP and one minor cool episode arou…

  • Cultural impacts of severe droughts in the prehistoric Andes

    Izumi Shimada, Crystal Barker Schaaf et al.ARTICLEWorld Archaeology1991Citada por: 73Referências: 40

    Late in the sixth century, Andean peoples experienced major cultural upheavals, including a notable settlement shift of the classic Mochica culture on the northern Peruvian coast. A recently established annual precipitation record derived from ice cores from the Quelccaya glacier in southern Peru allows assessment of the possible role of climatic disturbances in northern Peru. Both areas are in the same tropical climatic regime. A comparison betw…

  • A 1500-Year Record of Tropical Precipitation in Ice Cores from the Quelccaya Ice Cap, Peru

    Open AccessLonnie G Thompson, Ellen Mosley-Thompson et al.ARTICLEScience1985

    Two ice cores, covering 1500 years of climatic information, from the summit (5670 meters) of the tropical Quelccaya ice cap, in the Andes of southern Peru, provide information on general environmental conditions including droughts, volcanic activity, moisture sources, temperature, and glacier net balance. The net balance record reconstructed from these cores reflects major precipitation trends for the southern Andes of Peru. These records indicat…

  • Nine Centuries of Microparticle Deposition at the South Pole

    Open AccessEllen Mosley-Thompson, Lonnie G ThompsonARTICLEQuaternary Research1982

    The analysis of microparticles in a 101-m core from Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica has revealed a substantial increase in total particle concentration between approximately 1450 and 1850 A.D., a period encompassing the latest neoglacial interval or Little Ice Age. It is likely that this reflects a simultaneous increase in the concentration of particulate material in the Antarctic atmosphere. This is important climatologically, for …
