Geotimes December 2006 Megan Sever	Dates Help Paint Picture of Early Migration Geologists and archaeologists are both trying to solve the puzzle of how and when the first settlers migrated to the Americas. New radiocarbon dates from marine sediments in the Arctic are helping geologists better create a timeline for their piece of the puzzle, which could in turn help archaeologists with their job.
Geotimes March 2007 Megan Sever	Out of Africa and into Russia Researchers excavating at a well-known archaeological site in Russia have found evidence of the earliest-known modern humans in Europe, pushing back the dates of when modern humans arrived in Europe.
Geotimes February 2007 Katherine Unger	Climate to Blame in Cultural Collapses The Anasazi people in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest disappeared suddenly, possibly due to climate change that made food and water sources scarce. Researchers are now linking several past periods of climate change with failed civilizations.
Geotimes May 2004 Sara Pratt	Ice in the Greenhouse? The greenhouse world of the Late Cretaceous, long thought to be ice-free, may have been chillier than previously predicted.
Geotimes February 2004 Hetherington et al.	Quest for the Lost Land The search for early Americans is taking researchers to the coast of British Columbia, where a now-submerged landscape may hold clues to the first settlers' coastal migration.
Geotimes November 2006 Margaret Putney	Ice Reveals Polar Temperature Seesaw A new ice core from Antarctica directly correlates abrupt changes in Greenland's climate over the last 150,000 years with counterpart changes in Antarctica -- offering further indication that the two icy regions are connected by ocean currents in a sort of bipolar seesaw.
Geotimes March 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Marine Critters Record Global Warming Layers of fossilized marine creatures have acted as an independent record of ocean temperature for millennia. Now, data from such layers is mirroring the same warming trend that instruments have shown -- suggesting humans are contributing to global warming.
Geotimes December 2006	Top Climate News Stories of 2006 A new public face for climate change... Strong debate over storms... Thawing ice shifts water cycles... Methane climate menagerie... etc.
Geotimes February 2006 Naomi Lubick	Is Ocean Circulation Slowing Down? New measurements of temperature and salinity in the North Atlantic indicate that changes are occurring in this segment of the ocean's circulation that could eventually affect Earth's climate.
Geotimes October 2007 Moran & Backman	The Arctic Ocean: So Much We Still Don't Know In 2004, the Arctic Coring Expedition team took three ships to the Arctic to drill a core near the Lomonosov Ridge. The team's results are teaching us more than we ever knew about the past 65 million years in the Arctic.
Geotimes November 2007 Erin Wayman	Sudden Climate Change Not Neanderthals' Downfall New research suggests abrupt climate change is not to blame for the extinction of Neanderthals. Instead, competition from modern humans probably played a large role.
Geotimes February 2004 Megan Sever	Geoarchaeology: The Past Comes to Light Geological stories are inseparable from the human ones. The sea level can rise causing populations to migrate. A volcano can erupt and wipe out a civilization. Climate can alter the soil and shift the course of a culture. As the natural world changes, so too does society.
Chemistry World September 27, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Scientists Uncover How Last Ice Age Ended Scientists have shown that the end of the last age 19,000 years ago began in the higher latitudes of the southern hemisphere before sweeping into the tropics.
Geotimes July 2007 Kathryn Hansen	Ancient Ocean Burps A sediment core extracted from the ocean floor off the coast of Baja, Calif., indicates two "burps" of carbon dioxide were once released from a deep, stagnant part of the ocean.
Geotimes May 2003 Greg Peterson	A new trigger for Ice Age retreat About 14,600 years ago, a huge pulse of freshwater drained from continental ice sheets into the world's oceans. Now scientists have a new theory for where it came from.
Geotimes December 2005 Kevin E. Trenberth	A Warming World Climate change is with us; we cannot stop it, although we can slow it down. It behooves us therefore to track how and why the climate is changing.
