Climate model simulations of the mid-Pliocene: Earth's last great interval of global warmth Climate model simulations of the mid-Pliocene: Earth's last great interval of global warmth

Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project Workshop; Reston, Virginia, 2–4 August 2011 The Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP), supported by the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Pliocene Research, Interpretation and Synoptic Mapping (PRISM) project and Powell Center, is an integral part of a third iteration of the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP3). PlioMIP's...

Sea surface temperatures of the mid-Piacenzian Warm Period: A comparison of PRISM3 and HadCM3 Sea surface temperatures of the mid-Piacenzian Warm Period: A comparison of PRISM3 and HadCM3

It is essential to document how well the current generation of climate models performs in simulating past climates to have confidence in their ability to project future conditions. We present the first global, in-depth comparison of Pliocene sea surface temperature (SST) estimates from a coupled ocean–atmosphere climate model experiment and a SST reconstruction based on proxy data. This...

Accounting for the ecosystem services of migratory species: Quantifying migration support and spatial subsidies Accounting for the ecosystem services of migratory species: Quantifying migration support and spatial subsidies

Migratory species support ecosystem process and function in multiple areas, establishing ecological linkages between their different habitats. As they travel, migratory species also provide ecosystem services to people in many different locations. Previous research suggests there may be spatial mismatches between locations where humans use services and the ecosystems that produce them...
