  • The Paleoecology and Fire History from Crater Lake
    THE PALEOECOLOGY AND FIRE HISTORY FROM CRATER LAKE, COLORADO: THE LAST 1000 YEARS By Charles T. Mogen A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science and Policy Northern Arizona University August 2018 Approved: R. Scott Anderson, Ph.D., Chair Nicholas P. McKay, Ph.D. Darrell S. Kaufman, Ph.D. Abstract High-resolution pollen, plant macrofossil, charcoal and pyrogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) records were developed from a 154 cm long sediment core collected from Crater Lake (37.39°N, 106.70°W; 3328 m asl), San Juan Mountains, Colorado. Several studies have explored Holocene paleo-vegetation and fire histories from mixed conifer and subalpine bogs and lakes in the San Juan and southern Rocky Mountains utilizing both palynological and charcoal studies, but most have been at relatively low resolution. In addition to presenting the highest resolution palynological study over the last 1000 years from the southern Rocky Mountains, this thesis also presents the first high-resolution pyrogenic PAH and charcoal paired analysis aimed at understanding both long-term fire history and the unresolved relationship between how each of these proxies depict paleofire events. Pollen assemblages, pollen ratios, and paleofire activity, indicated by charcoal and pyrogenic PAH records, were used to infer past climatic conditions. Although the ecosystem surrounding Crater Lake has remained a largely spruce (Picea) dominated forest, the proxies developed in this thesis suggest there were two distinct climate intervals between ~1035 to ~1350 CE and ~1350 to ~1850 CE in the southern Rocky Mountains, associated with the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and Little Ice Age (LIA) respectively.

  • Late Holocene Climate Change on Isla Isabela, Gulf of California By
    Late Holocene Climate Change on Isla Isabela, Gulf of California by Amy Cathryn Englebrecht A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Earth and Planetary Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor B. Lynn Ingram, Chair Professor A. Roger Byrne Professor James Bishop Fall 2010 Abstract Late Holocene Climate Change on Isla Isabela, Gulf of California by Amy Cathryn Englebrecht Doctor of Philosophy in Earth and Planetary Science University of California, Berkeley Professor B. Lynn Ingram, Chair Sediments from the crater lake on Isla Isabela, in the southern Gulf of California, were used to investigate precipitation and evaporation changes in this region over the past 6,000 years. Stable isotopes of oxygen and carbon provided a proxy record of Pacific climate variability on timescales ranging from decadal to millennial. Strength in the dominant periodicities of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation appears to have been intermittent over the past two millennia, suggesting changes in Pacific forcing not previously recognized. In addition, productivity in the lake varies on timescales that suggests a link between increased productivity and solar maxima. Although the precise role of solar activity on climate variations remains unclear, this data represents a convergence of model output with empirical evidence over the past millennium. Over the late Holocene, it appears that there have been a number of pronounced dry periods that generally coincide with cold sea surface temperatures in the eastern Pacific, and generally dry conditions across western North America. 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe many thanks to my mentors and coauthors: Lynn Ingram, Tom Guilderson, Roger Byrne, Jim Bishop, Harald Böhnel, Ulrike Kienel, and Gerald Haug.

Climate change vulnerability and adaptation in the Intermountain Region. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-375. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. Part 2. pp. 199–513. Abstract The Intermountain Adaptation Partnership (IAP) identified climate change issues relevant to resource management on Federal lands in Nevada, Utah, southern Idaho, eastern California and western Wyoming, and developed solutions intended to minimize negative effects of climate change and facilitate transition of diverse ecosystems to a warmer climate. U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service scientists, Federal resource managers, and stakeholders collaborated over a 2-year period to conduct a state-of-science climate change vulnerability assessment and develop adaptation options for Federal lands. The vulnerability assessment emphasized key resource areas—water, fisheries, vegetation and disturbance, wildlife, recreation, infrastructure, cultural heritage, and ecosystem services—regarded as the most important for ecosystems and human communities. The earliest and most profound effects of climate change are expected for water resources, the result of declining snowpacks causing higher peak winter
