Issues in Canadian Geoscience: the Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences/Federation Canadienne des Sciences de la Terre: 2008 highlights.(Series)(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... SUMMARY The Canadian Geoscience Council (CGC) was reorganized into the Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences/ Federation Canadienne des Sciences de la Terre (CFES/FCST) in the fall of 2006. This article highlights the activities of the new organization in 2008, the first year ...
The geoscience of climate and energy 3. The Cenozoic Arctic Ocean climate.(Series)(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... INTRODUCTION Throughout the Cenozoic, over the past 65 million years, Earth's climate system has experienced sometimes rapid and sometimes gradual change. This long-term climate change has induced a transition from a planet with no ice caps, glaciers or sea-ice, dubbed the ...
Geoscience of climate and energy 4. Rapid carbon injection and transient global warming during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.(Series)(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] INTRODUCTION The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), ~55.5 My ago, was a geologically brief (~170 ky) episode of globally elevated temperature that was superimposed on the long-term Late Paleocene and Early Eocene warming trend (Fig. 1) ....
International year of planet earth 4. Utilizing paleosols in Quaternary climate change studies.(Series)(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] SUMMARY Paleosols are an important tool in interpreting Quaternary stratigraphic sequences. Buried, exhumed, and relict soils delineate ancient surfaces that may have undergone weathering processes for long periods. Soils, including many buried ...
Geoscience of climate and energy 5. Ice cores, greenhouse gases and climate change.(Series)(Report)
Jun 01, 2009; ... [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Ice cores are unique in that they contain not only a record of past environments, but also trap small volumes of atmosphere that directly record the levels of past greenhouse gases. Ice cores trade off temporal resolution for age via the amount of snow ...
