title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Coral Sea MD06-3018 1543KYr Mg/Ca SST Reconstruction

description: The position of the southern boundary of the Pacific warm pool is shown to have been stable since the early Pleistocene, based upon a planktic foraminiferal Mg/Ca-derived reconstruction of subtropical sea surface temperature in the Coral Sea. This contrasts with previous reconstructions showing warm pool contraction from the north and east and means that the early Pleistocene warm pool was more hemispherically asymmetric than its present configuration.  The latter was not established until ~1Ma, supporting a strengthening of the northern Hadley Cell, which was not replicated in its southern counterpart, prior to the Mid-Pleistocene Transition.

title: Kholod O. THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL PRECONDITIONS FOR CRITICAL THINKING. Appendix to the article.

description: This study investigates the impact of social preconditions, such as family environment, university context, and online communities, on the development of critical thinking and the application of innovative methods in teaching media literacy within Ukrainian higher education institutions. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research involved 23 journalism students and 8 media literacy instructors from various Ukrainian universities. Through surveys (Questionnaires A and B) and an experiment, the study assessed students’ ability to identify disinformation in a fabricated text claiming a "revolutionary cancer-curing drug" developed from Chernobyl bacteria. The results revealed that 91.3% of students successfully recognized the text as disinformation, citing unrealistic claims, lack of credible sources, and sensational language, demonstrating a high level of critical thinking. The average score of 13.47 out of 20–30 on Questionnaire A, which evaluated social support for critical thinking, indicated moderate encouragement from family, university, and online environments, with higher scores correlating with more accurate identification of manipulative elements and suggestions of credible verification sources, such as PubMed, WHO, BBC, and Scopus. The experiment highlighted the effectiveness of innovative teaching methods, including multimedia projects, interactive debates, and media content analysis, particularly when adapted to students’ sociocultural contexts. Comparative analysis with prior research, such as the 2024 Media Literacy Index by Detector Media, shows that educated youth exhibit significantly higher media literacy (91% vs. 72% in the general population), underscoring the critical role of education and demographic factors in combating disinformation. The study emphasizes the necessity of integrating social and cultural factors into media literacy curricula to enhance critical thinking and resilience against information manipulation. Recommendations include tailoring teaching methods to regional and cultural nuances, prioritizing training in source verification, and incorporating digital tools to address disinformation challenges effectively. These findings provide educators with empirically grounded strategies to optimize media literacy teaching practices, fostering a robust information environment amid the challenges of information overload and disinformation threats. The research contributes to the broader discourse on media literacy by highlighting the interplay between social preconditions and innovative pedagogical approaches in higher education.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Global Ocean Glacial Export Production Data

description: It has been hypothesized that changes in the marine biological pump caused a major portion of the glacial reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide by 80 to 100 parts per million through increased iron fertilization of marine plankton, increased ocean nutrient content or utilization, or shifts in dominant plankton types. We analyze sedimentary records of marine productivity at the peak and the middle of the last glacial cycle and show that neither changes in nutrient utilization in the Southern Ocean nor shifts in plankton dominance explain the CO2 drawdown. Iron fertilization and associated mechanisms can be responsible for no more than half the observed drawdown.

Dating Control:     
d18O = oxygen isotope stratigraphy;    
14C = radiocarbon dating of single species of foraminifera;     
LC = lithogenic correlation.     
CFP = Constant Flux Proxy.      
“Y” indicates that accumulation rates were corrected for sediment focusing 
using 230Th normalization.    
    
Data Evaluation:     
Data for each core were given scores for each of the three categories: 
(a) the quality of sediment age models, 
(b) the means by which sediment flux measurements are determined, and 
(c) the number and agreement between the indicators within a core. 

The four different  types of age models were scored as follows: 
AMS radiocarbon dating = 4; 
marine isotope stratigraphy = 3; 
bulk radiocarbon or 230Th methods = 2; and 
lithogenic correlation = 1. 

Sediment flux measurements that used a ‘constant flux proxy’ 
such as 230Th normalization were given the highest score of 4. 
Sediment sites with mass accumulation rates that did not use 
230Th normalization received a score of 2. Sites where only 
concentrations were determined received a score of 1. 
Finally, number of proxies measured in each core multiplied 
by the fraction of agreement between these proxies determined 
the third score. The final score (the sum of the score for 
the three categories) determined whether the data from that 
core received a confidence ranking of “high” (scores 10-14), 
“intermediate” (scores 7-10), or “low” (scores 6 or below).    

Assessed Change in Productivity and Productivity Indicators:     
Changes represent conditions at the LGM relative to today: 
-1 = decrease; 
-0.5 = slight decrease; 
0 = no change; 
+0.5 = slight increase; 
1 = increase; 
99 = no assessment possible.  
All changes are based on accumulation rates unless otherwise     
indicated (in comments, or as a code of “1” in the “flux code” column).

description: The Asian monsoon system affects more than half of humanity worldwide, yet the dynamical processes that govern its complex spatiotemporal variability are not sufficiently understood to model and predict its behavior, due in part to inadequate long-term climate observations. Here we present the Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas (MADA), a seasonally resolved gridded spatial reconstruction of Asian monsoon drought and pluvials over the past millennium, derived from a network of tree-ring chronologies. MADA provides the spatiotemporal details of known historic monsoon failures and reveals the occurrence, severity, and fingerprint of previously unknown monsoon megadroughts and their close linkages to large-scale patterns of tropical Indo-Pacific sea surface temperatures. MADA thus provides a long-term context for recent monsoon variability that is critically needed for climate modeling, prediction, and attribution.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Benguela Current GeoB 1023-5 21ka Alkenone SST Reconstruction

description: Sediment core GeoB 1023-5 from the eastern South Atlantic was investigated at high temporal resolution for variations of sea-surface temperature (SST) during the past 22 kyr, using the alkenone (UK037 ) method. SSTs increased by 3.5°C from about 18°C during the Last Ice Age (21ū2 cal kyr BP) to about 21.5°C at 14.5 cal kyr BP. This warming trend associated with the deglaciation phase was followed by a cooling event with lowest SSTs near 20°C, persisting for about 1000 years between 13 and 12 cal kyr BP. The SSTs then continued to increase to about 22.5°C at the Holocene climatic optimum at 7 cal kyr BP, and decreased again during the Late Holocene to a core-top value of 19.8°C that is comparable to modern annual mean SST values. When compared with alkenone SST records from the eastern North Atlantic, our SST record indicates continuous warming throughout the deglaciation phase in the Benguela Current, while its northern counterpart, the Canary Current, experienced prominent cooling during 'Heinrich Event 1' (H1). On the other hand, for the time period corresponding to the 'Younger Dryas' (YD) cooling event, the Benguela SST record exhibits a cold-temperature interval that corresponds to that observed in the eastern North Atlantic SST records. This observation suggests that interhemispheric climate response in Atlantic eastern boundary current systems was different with respect to the two abrupt climate events associated with Termination I. For the H1, the eastern South Atlantic SST record strongly supports the hypothesis that an `anti-phase' thermal behavior in South Atlantic surface waters was forced by the slowdown of the North Atlantic Deep Water formation during cold spells in the North Atlantic. In contrast, the abrupt cooling in the eastern South Atlantic coincident with the YD period was probably induced by more vigorous global atmospheric circulation, enhancing the upwelling intensity in both eastern boundary current systems. This atmospheric control may have overridden any effect caused by changes in thermohaline circulation on the South Atlantic SSTs during the YD, which leads to the assumption that the thermohaline circulation was already much closer to its interglacial mode during the YD than during the H1.

description: Annually resolved summer temperatures for the European Alps are described. The reconstruction covers the a.d. 755-2004 period and is based on 180 recent and historic larch [Larix decidua Mill.] density series. The regional curve standardization method was applied to preserve interannual to multicentennial variations in this high-elevation proxy dataset. Instrumental measurements from high- (low-) elevation grid boxes back to 1818 (1760) reveal strongest growth response to current-year June-September mean temperatures. The reconstruction correlates at 0.7 with high-elevation temperatures back to 1818, with a greater signal in the higher-frequency domain (r = 0.8). Low-elevation instrumental data back to 1760 agree with the reconstruction's interannual variation, although a decoupling between (warmer) instrumental and (cooler) proxy data before 1840 is noted. This offset is larger than during any period of overlap with more recent high-elevation instrumental data, even though the proxy time series always contains some unexplained variance. The reconstruction indicates positive temperatures in the tenth and thirteenth century that resemble twentieth-century conditions, and are separated by a prolonged cooling from 1350 to 1700. Six of the 10 warmest decades over the 755-2004 period are recorded in the twentieth century. Maximum temperature amplitude over the past 1250 yr is estimated to be 3.1C between the warmest (1940s) and coldest (1810s) decades. This estimate is, however, affected by the calibration with instrumental temperature data. Warm summers seem to coincide with periods of high solar activity, and cold summers vice versa. The record captures the full range of past European temperature variability, that is, the extreme years 1816 and 2003, warmth during medieval and recent times, and cold in between. Comparison with regional- and large-scale reconstructions reveals similar decadal to longer-term variability.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Kuiseb River Basin, Namibia 2000 Year Hyrax Midden Pollen Data

description: Well-preserved and dateable faunal middens in rock shelters of dry areas in southern Africa occur as desiccated urine-rich masses. Under local conditions, which exclude microbial decomposition and oxidation, urine cements together faecal pellets and other inclusions. Nine radiocarbon dated hyrax (Procavia capensis) dung middens from the Kuiseb River Basin of the Namib Desert were sub-sampled and analysed for fossil pollen. Some contain small proportions of rat droppings, but not many macro-fossils. Comparative modern pollen in faecal samples were also studied. Most plant macro-fossils are severely digested, but seeds are well-preserved. Some insect inclusions were identified. Small scale changes in vegetation over the last two millennia were observed, representing environmental fluctuations in cycles of ca. 100-200 years. The fluctuations partly agree with other palynological data from southern Africa and with geomorphologic evidence for environmental changes in the desert region.

description: We present a millennial long dendroclimatic reconstruction of spring/summer precipitation for southern-central England. Previous research identified a significant moisture stress signal in ring-width data measured from oak trees growing in southern England. In this study, we build upon this earlier work, specifically targeting south-central England, to derive a well replicated oak ring-width composite chronology using both living and historical material.  The data-set includes 352 living trees (AD 1629-2009) and 1540 individual historical series (AD 663-1925). The period expressed by at least 50 trees in any year is AD 980-2009.  Calibration experiments identify the optimal seasonal predictand target as March-July precipitation (1901-2007: r2 = 0.33). However, comparison with the long Kew Gardens precipitation record indicates a weakening in tree-growth/climate response from ~1800 to 1920 which we speculate may be related to smoke and sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions at that time which may have also contributed to a decrease in tree productivity. The time-series derived using the regional curve standardisation method to capture lower frequency information shows a mediaeval period with alternating multi-decade-long dry and wet periods, with AD 1153-1172 being the wettest reconstructed 20-year period in the whole record. Drier conditions are prevalent from ~1300 to the early sixteenth century followed by a period of increasing precipitation levels. The most recent four centuries of the record appear similar to the mediaeval period with multiple decade-long dry and wet periods. The late twentieth century is the second reconstructed wettest period. These centennial hydroclimatic trends are in broad agreement with independent regional scale hydroclimatic reconstructions from tree-ring (East Anglia), historical, speleothem and peat water level proxy archives in the United Kingdom and appear coupled with reconstructed sea surface temperature changes in the North Atlantic which in turn influence the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and westerly airflow across the UK.
