All hands on deck to understand, predict, prevent abrupt ecological change
October 25, 2017

A team of researchers at UW-Madison, including former CCR Director Jack Williams, are seeking to better understand, diagnose, and forecast abrupt changes in ecological systems.  A recent symposium (XXLINK) reviewed current efforts to link the theory of regime shifts to multiple real-world ecological systems, ranging from lakes to forests to farms.  This work has been supported by the WARF UW2020 program.

CCR Alum Jiaxu Zhang publishes her PhD work on PNAS
October 5, 2017 | PNAS

CCR former research assistant Jiaxu Zhang published her PhD work titled with “Asynchronous warming and δ18O evolution of deep Atlantic water masses during the last deglaciation” on Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the U. S. A. (PNAS) on October 2, 2017. This work was directed by CCR former professor Zhengyu Liu, in collaboration with scientists from NCAR, WHOI, Oregon State Univ., CU-Boulder, and UW-Madison Dept. of Geoscience. In this work, they implemented an oxygen isotope simulator in an ocean general circulation model and simulated its change in the past 22,000 years, from the Last Glacial Maximum to present day. They found the post-glacial deep ocean temperature rise has been with different rates, with the North Atlantic much earlier than other places. The uneven temperature changes, which has been overlooked by the paleo-climate community, lead to a different interpretation of the sedimentary records, and further to a new post-glacial ocean circulation scenario.
