Evolution of Asian monsoons and phased uplift of the Himalaya–Tibetan plateau since Late Miocene times
- A. Zhisheng, J. Kutzbach, W. Prell, S. Porter
- Geography, Medicine
- Nature
- 3 May 2001
The climates of Asia are affected significantly by the extent and height of the Himalayan mountains and the Tibetan plateau. Uplift of this region began about 50 Myr ago, and further significant… Expand
Asynchronous Holocene optimum of the East Asian monsoon
- Zhisheng An, S. Porter, +5 authors Zhou Weijian
- Geology
- 1 April 2000
Abstract The spatial and temporal distribution of summer monsoon precipitation (or effective moisture) during the Holocene has been reconstructed on the basis of geological data, including lake… Expand
Projected distributions of novel and disappearing climates by 2100 AD
- J. Williams, S. T. Jackson, J. Kutzbach
- Geography, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 1 December 2006
Key risks associated with projected climate trends for the 21st century include the prospects of future climate states with no current analog and the disappearance of some extant climates. Because… Expand
Transient Simulation of Last Deglaciation with a New Mechanism for Bølling-Allerød Warming
- Z. Liu, B. L. Otto-Bliesner, +11 authors J. Cheng
- Geology, Medicine
- Science
- 17 July 2009
Model Behavior The initial pulse of warming during the last deglaciation, which defined the start of an interval called the Bølling-Allerød, occurred abruptly about 14,500 years ago. To date, the… Expand
On the Structure and Origin of Major Glaciation Cycles .2. the 100,000-year Cycle
- J. Imbrie, André Berger, +16 authors J. R. Toggweiler
- Geology
- 1 December 1993
Climate over the past million years has been dominated by glaciation cycles with periods near 23,000, 41,000, and 100,000 years. In a linear version of the Milankovitch theory, the two shorter cycles… Expand
A severe centennial-scale drought in midcontinental North America 4200 years ago and apparent global linkages
- R. Booth, S. T. Jackson, +4 authors D. Wright
- Geography
- 1 April 2005
We present evidence from a variety of physical and biological proxies for a severe drought that affected the mid-continent of North America between 4.1 and 4.3 ka. Rapid climate changes associated… Expand
The Community Climate System Model
- Maurice L. Blackmon, B. A. Boville, +23 authors W. Washington
- Environmental Science
- 1 November 2001
Abstract The Community Climate System Model (CCSM) has been created to represent the principal components of the climate system and their interactions. Development and applications of the model are… Expand
Monsoon variability over the past 150,000 years
- W. Prell, J. Kutzbach
- Geology
- 20 July 1987
Paleoclimatic records adjacent to India and Africa show major variability that is related to large fluctuations in the wind and precipitation fields associated with monsoonal circulations. Much of… Expand
The Influence of Changing Orbital Parameters and Surface Boundary Conditions on Climate Simulations for the Past 18 000 Years
- J. Kutzbach, P. Guetter
- Geology
- 15 August 1986
Abstract General circulation model experiments at 3000-year intervals for the past 18 000 years were made to estimate the magnitude, timing, and pattern of the climatic response to prescribed changes… Expand
Climate and biome simulations for the past 21
- J. Kutzbach, R. Gallimore, S. Harrison, P. Behling, R. Selin, F. Laarif
- Environmental Science, Geology
- 1 April 1998
Abstract This paper reports on a set of paleoclimate simulations for 21, 16, 14, 11 and 6 ka (thousands of years ago) carried out with the Community Climate Model, Version 1 (CCM1) of the National… Expand
