Geotimes November 2003 Sara Pratt	Stuck between a rock and a cold place A stalagmite mined from an island cave in the Indian Ocean suggests that the ages currently assigned to the gold standard of ancient climate records -- the Greenland ice cores -- need revision for the period between 55,000 and 42,000 years ago.
Geotimes November 2006 Megan Sever	Conveyor Belt Shutdown Not Imminent As the climate warms and ice on Greenland melts, freshwater pours into the North Atlantic, which new research suggests is unlikely to cause a shutdown in global ocean circulation.
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 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 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.
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 January 2004 Naomi Lubick	Saltier sea Oceanographers have documented the growing saltiness of the Atlantic in the tropics, in opposition to freshening of the polar oceans. The changes in the sea-surface salinity indicate changes in the hydrologic cycle, the researchers say, which may be attributable to human-induced climate changes.

Geotimes November 2004 Naomi Lubick	Past warming for the future As the Bush administration prepares for a second term, only time will tell how its climate change policy will change in the next four years. In the meantime, discussions of the science behind climate changes abound in the journals and within the scientific community.
