A reader has drawn to my attention that chapter 3 of the Ababneh Thesis, disussed previously at CA here here and here was published in Quaternary International (in Sept 2007 just prior to my initial post.) Since I did not refer to this peer reviewed publication in my earlier review, I wish to update these […]
The National Post reports: A winter storm dumped more than 30 centimetres of snow on the Toronto area yesterday, with some parts of southern Ontario receiving as many as 50 centimetres of snow. Toronto usually receives approximately 30 cm of snow during the entire month of December. Yesterdays snowfall likely trumped the previous record of […]
San Francisco’s official weather stations, new and old locations are in this photo – can you find them? Last Thursday evening I had the pleasure of meeting up with Steve McIntyre, Steve Mosher, and “jeez” (who lives in San Francisco, and currently wishes to remain anonymous) from Climate Audit. We had dinner at Umbria in […]
I’ll try to do reports on various interesting aspects of the AGU conference over the next few weeks. Today I’m going to post on the session on the Divergence Problem, initiated and chaired by Rob Wilson, and which, for the most part, consisted of young dendros probing critically at the issue of the failure of […]
Here is Judith Curry’s review.
Malcolm Hughes coauthor Matthew Salzer) made a presentation entitled “Twentieth Century Bristlecone Pine Tree Rings near Upper Tree Limit Wider than in Recent Millennia”. This included a report on Sheep Mountain. He showed a picture of Matthew Salzer on Sheep Mountain and praised his work. He said that there was no difference between strip bark […]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowball_Earth However, there is only one “very reliable” datum point identifying tropical tillites,[Evans (2000)] which makes statements of equatorial ice cover somewhat presumptuous. It is worth remembering that many sedimentary features traditionally associated with glaciers can also be formed by other means.[Arnaud, E.; Eyles, C.H. (2002)] Evidence includes: * Dropstones (stones dropped into marine sediments), […]
A few notes before I lose track of today’s event. Stephen Schwartz’ presentation was essentially a re-statement of recent publicized JGR paper with some interesting additional commentary. Schwartz’ recent paper attempted to unpack the almost definitional equation: He then showed the IPCC diagram summarizing forcings, observing the change from IPCC TAR in forcing estimates in […]
I’m tired already and just got here. I flew in from Toronto yesterday getting up about 5 am Toronto time, arrived at AGU about 2 pm San Fran time and caught about helf the day. I mainly go to the Paleo sessions, where, among other things, I’m scouting for new high-resolution series covering the past […]
OFf to AGU tomorrow morning. I’m doing two presentations – an oral presentation on hurricanes on Wednesday in a Spatial Statistics session (with Roger Pielke) and a poster on Friday on Almagre tree rings (with Pete Holzmann). See climateaudit.org/pdf/agu07.* for the two PPTs. AGU tends to be exhausting. Plus I’ve got a reasonably full social […]
