Equatorial Pacific Export Production And Carbonate Accumulation Over The Middle Miocene Climate Transition
Carter, Samantha CassieThe Middle Miocene Climate Transition (MMCT) at ~13.8 million years ago (Ma) signifies the point when Earth made its final transition to the icehouse conditions of the Pleistocene. The MMCT is marked by the expansion of ... -
GLOBAL MARINE CARBON EXPORT PRODUCTION DURING EOCENE HYPERTHERMAL EVENTS
Lewis, Angela Ruth (2017-12-20)Early Eocene hyperthermal events can be an analog for global warming. Pelagic marine barite in deep sea sediment is a proxy for marine export production of organic matter into the deep ocean. Pelagic marine barite accumulation ... -
IMPROVING REGIONAL HYDROLOGY FORECASTING FOR THE NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS REGION UTILIZING CONDITIONAL ENSEMBLE STREAMFLOW AND HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL CONDITION PREDICTIONS WITH ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK MODELING
Fincannon, Tyler (2017-05-10)The predictive skill of hydrologic variables such as streamflow and soil moisture, in North Central Texas, has improved substantially in the recent decades. However, substantial model-data biases are still present during ... -
