water from their regions as a bar to future growth or as a threat to environmental balance. TheColorado River Aqueduct at the Arizona border carries water from that river across the southern California desert and mountains to serve the Los Angelesmetropolitan area. TheCalifornia State Water Project...
The temperatures of the Pacific Ocean depend on the location. The nearer to the Equator the warmer the water tends to be. In some regions, the water temperatures reach up to 30°C/ 86 F, while near to the poles the water temperature decreases to freezing point. The lowest temperature meas...
and climate modeling, better constraints on the magnitude and pattern of amplification would provide insights into the mechanisms that drive it, which remain actively debated. Here we present multi-proxy multi-site paleotemperature records over the last 10 million years from the Western Pacific Warm ...
Lagrangian particle tracking experiments are conducted to investigate the pathways of deep water in the North Pacific Ocean. The flow field is taken from a state-of-the-art deep circulation simulation. An unprecedented number of particles are tracked to
Since the Climate: Long Range Investigation, Mapping and Prediction (CLIMAP) reconstructions for the Earth at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), there have been conflicting views on the extent of cooling of the oceans of tropical Australasia—here, referred to as the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool—in co...
Looking atFig. 8.9it is apparent that a strong temperature gradient exists from east to west below the surface. If warm temperature is associated with less dense water, what would you expect thepressure gradientto be 150 m below the surface? What direction would the water at 150 m deep move...
Landslidesoccur when rocks, soil, and other debris move rapidly downslope. In the Pacific Northwest, they can be triggered by intense rainfall, earthquakes, or rapid water-level changes along rivers, coastlines, reservoirs, and dams. Have you ever witnessed one of these types of landscape disturba...

2). A surface sample transect across Kirman Lake shows high organic content and low mollusk abundance in shallow marsh fringes of the lake relative to the deeper, open water area (Supplementary Information and Supplementary Fig. S2). The fossil pollen and charcoal records also indicate enhanced ...
