Holocene diatom flora and climate history of Medicine Lake, Northern California, USA Holocene diatom flora and climate history of Medicine Lake, Northern California, USA
A 226-cm-long sediment core spanning the past ~ 11,400 years was recovered from Medicine Lake, on the Modoc Plateau in northeastern California. Diatom assemblages provide a record of lake level that is driven by local and regional climate changes and changes in basin morphology due to the activity of Medicine Lake volcano. The diatom record indicates that throughout its history, Medicine...

Organic petrology of subbituminous carbonaceous shale samples from Chalāw, Kabul Province, Afghanistan: Considerations for paleoenvironment and energy resource potential Organic petrology of subbituminous carbonaceous shale samples from Chalāw, Kabul Province, Afghanistan: Considerations for paleoenvironment and energy resource potential
Neogene (?) subbituminous carbonaceous shale deposits from Chalāw, Afghanistan, were investigated through organic petrology techniques and standard coal analyses to determine paleoenvironment and potential for resource utilization. The Chalāw deposit, approximately 30 km southeast of Kabul, currently is exploited for brick making and domestic heating and cooking. Three multiple-bench...

The 23rd Pacific Climate Workshop (PACLIM) The 23rd Pacific Climate Workshop (PACLIM)
The 23rd Pacific Climate Workshop (PACLIM) was held May 13–16, 2007 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California, in what turned out to be a relatively dry spring on the central California coast. What a change from 2006, which was the sixth wettest year of the 101 years for which records have been kept. The special session at the 2007 gathering was entitled “Abrupt...

Fire and vegetation history on Santa Rosa Island, Channel Islands, and long-term environmental change in southern California Fire and vegetation history on Santa Rosa Island, Channel Islands, and long-term environmental change in southern California
The long-term history of vegetation and fire was investigated at two locations – Soledad Pond (275 m; from ca. 12 000 cal. a BP) and Abalone Rocks Marsh (0 m; from ca. 7000 cal. a BP) – on Santa Rosa Island, situated off the coast of southern California. A coastal conifer forest covered highlands of Santa Rosa during the last glacial, but by ca. 11 800 cal. a BP Pinus stands, coastal...

Holocene climate on the Modoc Plateau, northern California, USA: The view from Medicine Lake Holocene climate on the Modoc Plateau, northern California, USA: The view from Medicine Lake
Medicine Lake is a small (165 ha), relatively shallow (average 7.3 m), intermediate elevation (2,036 m) lake located within the summit caldera of Medicine Lake volcano, Siskiyou County, California, USA. Sediment cores and high-resolution bathymetric and seismic reflection data were collected from the lake during the fall of 1999 and 2000. Sediments were analyzed for diatoms, pollen...

Diatoms in estuaries and tidal marshes Diatoms in estuaries and tidal marshes
Diatoms from estuarine and marsh sediments can be used to evaluate a number of geological processes. Information on salinity, elevation, and substrate derived from modern assemblages have been used to determine local and regional Holocene sea level history, identify seismic and tsunami events, and aid in the recognition of regional variations in precipitation. In order to apply diatoms...

High-resolution climate records of the past 2,400 years from the offshore of northernmost California and central Oregon High-resolution climate records of the past 2,400 years from the offshore of northernmost California and central Oregon
High resolution diatom and pollen data from piston core TN062 0550 off northernmost California, and Kasten core WW7710A-26 off coastal Oregon, are compiled for the past 2,400 years. Diatom proxy data for Fall SST from both cores record warm SST's in the intervals from ca. AD 400 to 600, and from ca. AD 1050 to 1300 (later part of the Medieval Warm Period). The intervening AD 650 to 1000...
