Lichens from the Matterhorn and Ice Lake, Northeastern Oregon
نویسنده
چکیده
A backpack trip to Ice Lake (2435 m) and the summit of the Matterhorn (2995 m) in the Wallowa Mountains in Oregon sponsored by Northwest Lichenologists resulted in numerous interesting finds, including several rare species and new state records. Caloplaca oblongula, C. saxifragarum, Cephalophysis leucospila, Dermatocarpon polyphyllizum, Farnoldia micropsis, and Solorina spongiosa are apparently new to Oregon. Many of the calciphiles found in this area on marble have seldom been reported from Oregon.

A multi-proxy lacustrine record of Holocene climate change on northeastern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada
Reconstructions of past environmental changes are critical for understanding the natural variability of Earth’s climate system and for providing a context for present and future global change. Radiocarbon-dated lake sediments from Lake CF3, northeastern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada, are used to reconstruct past environmental conditions over the last 11,200 years. Numerous proxies, including chi...

The Larsemann Hills range is an ice-free oasis on the Ingrid Christensen Coast of Princess Elizabeth Land, East Antarctica, which includes Bharti Island, Fisher Island, McLeod Island, Broknes Peninsula, Stornes Peninsula, and several other islands, promontories, and nunataks. The Larsemann Hills is an ice-free area of approximately 50 km2, located halfway between the Vestfold Hills a...
متن کاملHolocene alpine glaciation inferred from lacustrine sediments on northeastern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada
With accelerated melting of alpine glaciers, understanding the future state of the cryosphere is critical. Because the observational record of glacier response to climate change is short, palaeo-records of glacier change are needed. Using proglacial lake sediments, which contain continuous and datable records of past glacier activity, we investigate Holocene glacier fluctuations on northeastern...
متن کاملBiogeography of Rare Lichens from the Coast of Oregon
Along the Oregon coast there are pockets of exceptionally high diversity of rare lichen species. These include a number of extreme disjunct populations, with affinities to the flora of the southern hemi sphere, tropical and subtropical areas, California, northeast Asia, maritime Arctic, eastern North America, and Europe. Only two of these rare species are endemic to the Pacific Northwest. Conc...
متن کاملInorganic geochemistry of El’gygytgyn Lake sediments (northeastern Russia) as an indicator of paleoclimatic change for the last 250 kyr
The inorganic geochemistry of sediments from El’gygytgyn Lake shift in phase with interpreted paleoclimatic fluctuations seen in the record over the past 250 ka. Warm periods, when the lake was seasonally ice free and fully mixed, are characterized by increased concentrations of SiO2, CaO, Na2O, K2O, and Rb, by decreased contents of TiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3, and MgO, and by a lower chemical index of ...
