University of Florida scientists discover the cause of Atlantic coastline’s sea level rise hot spots is driven by the combined effects o naturally occurring ocean-atmosphere processes, El Niño (ENSO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). These findings challenge previous arguments that a hot spot north of Cape Hatteras over the past few decades was due […]

UF Geological Sciences PhD student Stephanie James has been advancing new methods to use seismic noise to monitor seasonal changes in depth to ice in Alaskan sediments. With co-authors from Sandia National Laboratory and UF, she recently published a paper “Improved moving window cross-spectral analysis for resolving large temporal seismic velocity changes in permafrost” in […]
A study aimed at developing a holistic understanding of weathering across forelands of retreating ice sheets. Following the last glacial maximum about 20,000 yrs ago, ice sheets retreated from much of North America and Eurasia, leaving the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) as the largest ice sheet in the northern hemisphere. Chemical weathering of finely […]
