Climate and atmospheric history of the past 420,000 years from the Vostok ice core,
- Antarctica. Nature
, 1999
"... Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles. The succession of changes through each climate cycle and termination was similar, and atmospheric and climate properties oscillated between stable bounds. Inte ..."

The Determinants of Credit Spread Changes.
- Journal of Finance
, 2001
"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

in the corporate bond market is driven by local supply/demand shocks that are independent of both changes in credit-risk and typical measures of liquidity. We note that a similar, but significantly smaller effect has been documented in the mortgage backed (Ginnie Mae) securities market by Boudoukh, Richardson
S.: Thermohaline circulation, the Achilles heel of our climate system: Will man-made co2 upset the current balance
- Science
, 1997
"... During the last glacial period, Earth's climate underwent frequent large and abrupt global changes. This behavior appears to reflect the ability of the ocean's thermohaline circulation to assume more than one mode of operation. The record in ancient sedimentary rocks suggests that similar ..."

, 1994
"... Abstract A classification system for natural rivers is presented in which a morphological arrangement of stream characteristics is organized into relatively homogeneous stream types. This paper describes morphologically similar stream reaches that are divided into 7 major stream type categories tha ..."

Target atmospheric CO2: where should humanity aim?
- Open Atmospheric Science Journal,
, 2008
"... Paleoclimate data show that climate sensitivity is ~3°C for doubled CO 2 , including only fast feedback processes. Equilibrium sensitivity, including slower surface albedo feedbacks, is ~6°C for doubled CO 2 for the range of climate states between glacial conditions and icefree Antarctica. Decreasi ..."

Evidence of a shift in the short-run price elasticity of gasoline demand,
- The Energy Journal,
, 2008
"... ABSTRACT Understanding the sensitivity of gasoline demand to changes in prices and income has important implications for policies related to climate change, optimal taxation and national security, to name only a few. While the short-run price and income elasticities of gasoline demand in the United ..."

Global Climate Change and Intensification of Coastal Ocean Upwelling," Science 247
, 1990
"... A mechanism exists whereby global greenhouse warming could, by inxensifymg the alongshore wind stress on the Ocean surface, lead to acceleration of coastal upwelling. Evidence from several Werent regions suggests that the major coastal upwelling systems of the world have been growing in upwelling in ..."

seabird and marine mammal populations ( 3). Cooling and stabilization of the onshore air flow by contact with the upwelled surface waters leads to the cool summer climate of the adjacent coastlands ( 4). Similar upwelling systems occur in the other major subtropical eastern Ocean boundary regions
From anchovies to sardines and back: multidecadal change
- in the Pacific Ocean. Science, 299, 217–221. Turbulent Heat Fluxes in the Western North Pacific 199
, 2003
"... In the Pacific Ocean, air and ocean temperatures, atmospheric carbon dioxide, landings of anchovies and sardines, and the productivity of coastal and open ocean ecosystems have varied over periods of about 50 years. In the mid-1970s, the Pacific changed from a cool “anchovy regime ” to a warm “sardi ..."

“sardine regime. ” A shift back to an anchovy regime occurred in the middle to late 1990s. These large-scale, naturally occurring variations must be taken into account when considering human-induced climate change and the management of ocean living resources. Landings of sardines show synchronousvariations
Whom You Know Matters: Venture Capital Networks and Investment Performance,
