Scaling laws for mixing and dissipation in unforced rotating stratified turbulence
We present a model for the scaling of mixing in weakly rotating stratified flows characterized by their Rossby, Froude and Reynolds numbers. This model is based on quasi-...- publication PDF

Speleothems of South American and Asian Monsoons influenced by a green Sahara
The mid-Holocene is frequently used for climate model-proxy comparison studies, yet models often struggle to replicate the proxy signals from this period. Here, we use an Earth...- publication PDF
