Background: Coastal ecosystems around the world are threatened by regional land use changes, environmental degradation, climate change and rising sea level. US estuaries and bays are the focus of multi-billion dollar restoration and management programs. These programs lack information on climatic variability (mainly rainfall, river discharge) and its impacts on water quality and living resources. Climate complicates efforts to choose restoration targets for dissolved oxygen, turbidity etc, and calibrate hydrodynamic and watershed models that drive management decisions. Climate (wetter late 20th century, rising sea level) was in part responsible for the widely publicized lack of success in efforts such as the Chesapeake Bay Program. To fully understand coastal ecosystems functioning over timescales pertinent to restoration (decadal) requires research on both anthropogenic and natural [climatic] processes. Such is the context for our research in Chesapeake Bay and other coastal systems.
My research involved ecosystem, climatic and sea level studies in Chesapeake Bay splicing instrumental records with high sedimentation rate records from environmentally sensitive regions using multi-proxy approach. I started this project and led many collaborators for 8 years (see co-authors in publications). I wrote perspectives in Chesapeake Bay Journal and Climatic Change, did TV, commercial and public radio shows, advised managers commonly, and participated in many CB committees. Many advocate integrated science in support of decision-making and we actually succeeded.
Results and Implications: Demonstrated rapid climatic and sea level change influenced Chesapeake Bay temperatures, salinity, and biota. During the Medieval Warm Period, relatively warm climate preceded major cold periods of the Little Ice Age. Severe droughts alternated with extreme wet periods and climatic impacts exceed 20th century anthropogenic influence. While many in the Bay community were skeptical of the importance of climate change when I presented results in the 1990s, now it is recognized as a focus issue in the President’s 2009 executive order 13508 on saving the bay as a treasured landscape and today’s Chesapeake Bay Program. Our CB temperature record was used in hemisphere-scale temperature curves (“hockey stick curves”) published in Science, Nature and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) 4th Assessment Report, and many other publications showing naturally warm climates during MWP. GRL paper on rapid Holocene SL rise suggests future ice sheet instability may lead to SL rise much faster than today’s rate. Paleo-dissolved oxygen and sediment rate records are used by CBP to set DO targets and designated use areas and manage sediment reduction. Our CB research advanced USGS efforts to understand critical ecosystems in South Florida, Roanoke River-Albemarle Sound, the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere.

Background: Global climate change is expected to have large impacts on biodiversity causing species’ range shifts and extinctions, but most attention is focused on terrestrial biota and shallow tropical marine systems. I initiated studies in the 1990s of climatic impacts on deep-sea organisms and species diversity. The deep sea constitutes earth’s most expansive but poorly known ecosystem. My research continues today on the continental slope off the eastern US and in the Arctic Ocean and subarctic seas through collaboration with my former post-doc Yasuhara and others.
Results and Implications: We showed deep-sea biodiversity is sensitive to climatic and oceanographic changes over various timescales, oscillating in phase with Milankovitch climatic cycles and decreasing catastrophically during rapid (centuries) Holocene climatic transitions.
My biodiversity research advanced the field of ecology because the Nature paper refuted ecology’s widely accepted “stability-time” hypothesis that deep-sea and other “stable” ecosystems are invariant over long periods of time. It revolutionized thinking about what were thought to be “stable” ecosystems and their sensitivity to climate and, theoretically at least, also applies to terrestrial ecosystems under siege today. With post-doc Yasuhara, two PNAS papers later showed catastrophic diversity collapse during abrupt climate change proving the deep-sea is not immune to the effects of future climate change. Papers in Ecology, J. Biogeography, Paleobiologyand other journals expanded diversity work to the Arctic and Pacific Oceans and over different timescales. This work spurred a large body of research on diversity and informs US and international efforts to understand deep-sea ecosystems.

Background: Temperature is the most fundamental climate variable and paleoclimatologists seek to reconstruct temperature using many proxy methods in order to evaluate natural and anthropogenic contributions to global warming. In addition, oxygen isotopes (d18O) of marine foraminifera is the most commonly used method in paleoclimatology and marine stratigraphy, but despite more than 50 years since Emiliani’s classic studies, no one had been able to separate the temperature and ice volume effects from foram d18O.
My research on shell trace element chemistry developed a new paleothermometer from Mg/Ca ratios in calcareous organisms. Focus with then grad student Dwyer was on field and laboratory calibration to develop Mg/Ca-temperature equation and application to paleotemperature reconstruction for periods of large, rapid climatic change. I chose the most appropriate deeps sea species and obtained specimens to analyze for the Mg/Ca calibration, and the deep-sea sediment core material to apply it to.
Results and Implications: We developed a deep-sea Mg/Ca-temperature equation still in use today, discovered large-scale deep-sea bottom temperature variability during Plio-Pleistocene Milankovitch cycles, and used these temperature estimates to separate temperature from ice volume effects on foraminiferal oxygen isotopes (d18O) and draw a “eustatic” sea-level curve. In our latest 2012 Nature Geoscience paper we extended the method to the central Arctic Ocean discovering large intermediate depth temperature variability.
Science paper showed that Mg/Ca ratios in biogenic carbonates can be used as a temperature proxy and applied to many fields of paleoclimatology including Milankovitch Theory, understanding global warmth, and constructing sea level curves from temperature-corrected d18O records. Nature Geoscience showed unexpected Arctic Ocean temperature variability. Our research spurred a generation of researchers to develop Mg/Ca calibrations for other calcareous organisms [benthic, planktonic foraminifers, corals] leading to revised ice-age tropical temperatures, improved climate models, and paleo-sea level curves from foram d18O. We also developed separate Mg/Ca-temperature equation for shallow water species.
