An observed decline in the amplitude of recent solar-cycle peaks
There has been much speculation about the extended minimum between Solar Cycles 23 and 24. Cycle 24 itself has been unusually weak compared with recent cycles. We present...- publication PDF

Simulated Siberian snow cover response to observed Arctic sea ice loss, 1979-2008
The loss of Arctic sea ice has wide-ranging impacts, some of which are readily apparent and some of which remain obscure. For example, recent observational studies suggest that...- publication PDF
