 Earth and Planetary Science Letters
1. Gradients in seasonality and seawater oxygen isotopic composition along the early Permian Gondwanan coast, SE Australia
J. Andrew Beard, Linda C. Ivany, Bruce Runnegar,
•Accretionary δ18O data from fossil bivalves reveal early Permian seasonality.
•Glendonites require freezing temperatures and allow calculation of seawater δ18O.
•Seasonal range and seawater δ18O decrease toward the Gondwanan south pole.
•We infer a north-flowing, cold, depleted current along SE Australia in the Permian.
•Summer water temperatures near 10 °C suggest similarity to mid-Miocene Antarctica.
 Keywords: oxygen isotope; Permian; Gondwana; seasonality; seawater; Eurydesma

2. Rapid last-deglacial thinning and retreat of the marine-terminating southwestern Greenland ice sheet
Kelsey Winsor, Anders E. Carlson, Marc W. Caffee, Dylan H. Rood
•SW Greenland marine ice-margins rapidly deglaciated 12–11 ka.
•SW Greenland land ice-margins deglaciated slowly 18–7 ka.
•Results suggest ocean environment drove rapid ice-margin retreat.
Keywords: 10Be exposure dating; glacial geology; termination I; ocean–ice interaction; Greenland Ice Sheet

3. Volcanic ash fall events identified using principal component analysis of a high-resolution speleothem trace element dataset
Robert A. Jamieson,  James U.L. Baldini, Amy B. Frappier, Wolfgang Müller
We present a high-resolution 22-year long LA-ICP-MS speleothem trace element record.
 Principal component analysis used for exploratory data analysis of our large dataset.
 We link historical volcanic eruptions to spikes in Principal Component 1 scores.
 Volcanogenic material is flushed into the speleothem at the start of the wet season.

Quaternary Science Reviews
6. Radiocarbon chronology of the last glacial maximum and its termination in northwestern Patagonia
Patricio I. Moreno, George H. Denton, Hugo Moreno Thomas V. Lowell, Aaron E. Putnam, Michael R. Kaplan
•The NW sector of the Patagonian ice sheet expanded 5 times between 17,700 and 33,600 cal yrs BP.
•Warming at 17,800 cal yrs BP drove abrupt expansion of rainforests and withdrawal of Andean glaciers.
•The 17,800 cal yrs BP event was a decisive trigger for the Last Glacial Termination (LGT).
•Holocene-like conditions were achieved within 1000 years after the onset of the LGT.
•Northward-shifted westerlies during the LGM migrated back south at the onset of the LGT.

7. Changes in biomass burning mark the onset an ENSO-influenced climate regime at 42°S in southwest Tasmania, Australia
Michael-Shawn Fletchera, b, , , Alexa Bensona, Hendrik Heijnisc, Patricia S. Gaddc, Les C. Cwynard, Andrew B.H. Reesd, e
We reconstruct trends in biomass burning over the last 12,000 years in southwest at 42°S in Tasmania.
•We identify a switch from millennial to sub-millennial scale trends in biomass burning after 5 ka.
•We conclude that the onset of ENSO drove this shift in biomass burning at our sites.

8. A high-resolved record of the Asian Summer Monsoon from Dongge Cave, China for the past 1200 years
Kan Zhaoa, , Yongjin Wanga, , , R. Lawrence Edwardsb, , Hai Chengb, c, , Dianbing Liua, , Xinggong Konga,
Stalagmite-based high-resolved Asian monsoon records over the past 1200 years from China.
•Consistence of annually-band width and stable isotopic data in recording monsoon variability.
•A big dry event associated with the social unrest at the end of Ming Dynasty.
•Impacts of tropic SSTs on Asian monsoon variability overwhelming solar forcing.
•Inverse relationship of Asian and South American monsoon intensity probably attributed to ITCZ or ENSO.
KeywordsAsian Summer Monsoon; Past millennium; Stalagmite; δ18O; Dongge Cave; China

9. A chironomid-inferred summer temperature reconstruction from subtropical Australia during the last glacial maximum (LGM) and the last deglaciation
Jie Christine Chang , James Shulmeister. Craig Woodward, , Lincoln Steinberger, , John Tibby, , Cameron Barr
A chironomid-based summer temperature reconstruction from Australia.
Reconstruction covers the LGM and part of deglaciation.
Cooling is similar to that derived from nearby marine records.
Deglaciation is synchronous with Antarctica.
Suggests climate link from Australian subtropics to high latitudes.

横山研BBQ2015春


こんにちは、M2の雨川です。
梅雨時とあって最近の天気は崩れがちですね。
天気予報もコロコロと変わって困ったものです。
先週の天気予報は1日ごとに週末の予報が変わったため、横山研BBQの日程が前日まで確定できませんでした。

前日に日程が確定したにも関わらず、多くの方にご参加いただきました。参加者の皆さまのご理解に感謝いたします。ありがとうございました!

BBQの様子。毎度のことながら、たくさんの参加者です!


研究室に新しく入った新4年生の福與くんとも交流できました。研究室メンバーも含め多くの方々とお話できて楽しかったです。


みなさんこっち向いて!!笑

メガネ、メガネ、& メガネ


横山先生がアメリカ滞在中にお知り合いになったご家族もいらっしゃいました。流暢な英語でスティーブさんと談笑されていました。



〆は焼きそばです。

仲良く遊んでる先輩たち。
と、その後ろでせっせと後片付けをする
長野くんと福與くん。ありがとうっ!


週末は楽しみましたので、平日は研究に勤しみます。
それでは!

富士五湖の掘削に向けて

皆様

中村です。
報告が少し遅くなりましたが、71日から産総研特別研究員として、産業技術総合研究所に赴任することになりました。
所属は、活断層・火山研究部門 海溝型地震履歴研究グループです。


612日に山梨県富士山科学研究所で行なわれた打ち合わせに参加してきました。



まずは音波探査のデータをもとに、今年度の富士五湖の掘削地点の詳細を検討しました。



午後は昨年度に採取されたコアの半割です。
堆積物を用いた研究がいよいよ始まります。

その後は、富士五湖の一つ、西湖に行きました。湖周辺の地形を把握し、掘削地点について議論しました。



ちょうど西湖に到着したタイミングで晴れ間が!
ガスから覗く富士山が神秘的でした。
