Uranium-series coral ages from the US Atlantic Coastal Plain-the "80 ka problem" revisited
Uranium series coral ages for emergent units from the passive continental margin US Atlantic Coastal Plain (ACP) suggest sea level above present levels at the end of marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) 5, contradicting age-elevation relations based on marine isotopic or coral reef models of ice equivalent sea level. We have reexamined this problem by obtaining high precision 230Th/238U and 231Pa/235

Quaternary vegetation and climate change in the western United States: Developments, perspectives, and prospects
This chapter explores the strengths and shortcomings of the major sources of data on Quaternary vegetation and climate change and discusses the use of models as a means to explore past and potential future environmental changes. The flora and major vegetation types of the western United States are present for several million years. Ongoing changes in atmospheric chemistry, climate, and human activ

Tectonic framework and Late Cenozoic tectonic history of the northern part of Cyprus: Implications for earthquake hazards and regional tectonics
Located near the triple junction of the African, Arabia, and Eurasian Plate, Cyprus has had an active and complex neotectonic history, which includes devastating historical earthquakes. Investigations into the tectonic framework of the northern part of Cyprus provide important insights into regional tectonism of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. The northern part of Cyprus is divided into

Tree-ring dated landslide movements and their relationship to seismic events in southwestern Montana, USA
To determine periods of incremental landslide movement and their possible relationship to regional seismic events, the tree-ring records of 32 titled and damaged conifers at three sites on landslides in the Gravelly Range of southwestern Montana were examined. Several signs of disturbance in the tree-ring record indicating landslide movement were observed. Commonly, the tree-ring record displayed

The role of climate and vegetation change in shaping past and future fire regimes in the northwestern US and the implications for ecosystem management
Fire is an important part of the disturbance regimes of northwestern US forests and its role in maintaining and altering forest vegetation is evident in the paleoecological record of the region. Long-term reconstructions of Holocene fire regimes, provided by the analysis of charcoal, pollen, and other fire proxies in a network of lake records, indicate that the Pacific Northwest and summer-dry reg
