Towards a three-dimensional kinematic model of the Alpine-Himalayan belt

Twenty years of year-round Antarctic oceanographic data
Imagine standing on the sea ice, In the middle of the Antarctic winter. It's well below freezing, and that's before you even consider the wind chill. It's dark and the sun has barely risen above the horizon that day.
The strange energetics in gravity currents
n fluid flows driven down a slope by their excess density, the ability to transport sediment is dependent on the turbulent energy. Our work showed that the energetics within these currents does not behave at all how one might expect. This is the story of how we came to this realisation.
Omnipresent authigenic calcite overgrowth on microfossils distorts Arctic radiocarbon chronology and isotope stratigraphy
The majority of paleoceanographic proxies uses calcareous microfossils as source. In the Arctic Ocean these microfossils are often altered by authigenic calcite overgrowth, this has an significant impact on the reliability of such proxies
Increased extreme rainfall over the Northeast US using high-resolution simulations
Extreme rainfall is expected to increase with global warming. An ensemble of high-resolution climate simulations provides a valuable tool for evaluating potential changes in extreme rainfall, benefiting future infrastructure design and resilience planning.
