Abstract:

The study of past ecological changes is highly useful for understanding how ecosystems have responded to climate and human-induced disturbances. It is thus relevant in the context of climate change, as it allows several ecological processes and properties, such as ecosystem baseline conditions or resilience, to be evaluated. This thesis focuses on the study of past ecological changes in mountain lakes, which are widely considered to be sentinel ecosystems due to their ability to effectively record signals of climate change and anthropogenic impacts in their sediments. To do this we use Chiron

Abstract:

Previous studies on reconstructing the paleoclimate on the Tibetan Plateauare commonly based on a single proxy, and have thus limited the usage of their results. Therefore this study was designed firstly to evaluate the applicability of organic carbon isotopes from modern plants in the Tibetan Plateau as a paleo-environmental proxy, and secondly to apply palynology, organic geochemistry and biomarkers to the reconstructions ofpaleo-environmental history of central Tibet. The new, comprehensive records reveal the history of regional precipitation, temperature and vegetation change in responding

The fossil deposit dated between 5 020 +/- 70 and 8 230 +/- 80 B.P. yielded twenty-three taxa among ten mammalian families. Two species, Dicrostonyx hudsonius and Microtus pinetorum, are not part of the modern local fauna. Analysis of the fossil assemblage has sh

The biogeography of diatoms in 62 lakes across the Canadian Arctic Archipelago was studied. A total of 326 taxa was found, with up to 85 and as low as 8 taxa identified in any one lake. Rarefaction-estimated richness correlated with lake size. Although diatom assemblages showed regional patterns, between-lake variability in any region was high, indicating that local factors are important in determining the assemblages. Newly delineated genera showed interpretable geographic patterns and could be related to environmental factors, suggesting that this more natural grouping may enhance our unders

Abstract:

Current biozonations based on Santonian-Campanian (Late Cretaceous) planktonic foraminiferal bioevents do not provide a high stratigraphic resolution, when compared to other time intervals. Moreover, some of the marker species of the Tethyan biozonation show a diachronous lowest occurrence across latitudes and a restricted geographic distribution. Thus, paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic inferences are poorly constrained by biostratigraphy and, in addition, are often based on diagenetically altered material.

Abstract:

This research uncovered growth trends from 1920 to 1990 in a stand of south-western ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws. var. scopulorum), and investigated the role of climate and competition in shaping the observed trends. I focused on a 800 x 400-m permanent plot maintained by the U.S. Forest Service since 1920 near Flagstaff, Arizona. Temporal growth trends were quantified by size class using a mixed linear model applied to forest inventories, repeated at 10-year intervals. Tree density and stand basal area increased from 1920 to 1990, but growth rates of individual trees decline

Abstract:

The Upper Cretaceous Niobrara Formation and the overlying Sharon Springs Member of the Pierre Shale are two of several organic-carbon (OC) rich units deposited in the Western interior seaway. A key to assessing the validity of models proposed to account for OC enrichment in these units is understanding the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of OC within these units. Within the study area abundant subsurface data in the form of geophysical well logs are available. These logs were used to divide the Niobrara and Sharon Springs into regionally correlatable chronostratigraphic horizons and to est

Abstract:

Impact events may have affected the evolution of life on Earth. The mass extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous Period, which includes the demise of the dinosaurs, has been linked to the large impact event that produced the Chicxulub structure located in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. Unfortunately, the geologic record is too spotty to prove any causal relation between the impact event and the mass extinction event that occurred 65 Myr ago. However, the size and location of the impact structure have drawn attention to impact-related abrupt perturbations of the climate and their effects

Abstract:

During the last deglaciation, 15,000 to 12,000 calendar years ago, global warming and wholesale shifts in regional precipitation patterns produced dramatic changes in vegetation worldwide. Paleobotanical records, namely pollen and macrofossils, have been used not only to reconstruct shifts in plant distributions and abundances, but also to quantify changes in temperature and precipitation amounts or seasonality. In addition to climatic change, during the full glacial period atmospheric CO₂ values had dropped 30% to 200 ppmv compared to the Holocene, preindustrial value of 280 ppmv. Hypothetica
