Stable isotopes, geochemical, lithological, and micropaleontological results from cores from the far northwest (FNW) Pacific and the Okhotsk and Bering seas are used to reconstruct the regional environment for the last glaciation, the deglacial
transition, and the Holocene. During deglaciation, accumulation of the coarse terrigenous component decreased in sediments of the Bering Sea and the FNW Pacific before the north Pacific terminal event T1ANP, probably as a result of rising sea level

Teachers' sketch maps of the world : an analysis of the Asian Pacificregion in Geographical education.
Sketch maps of the Asian PacificRegion drawn by secondary teachers of geography and social studies are analyzed in the United States to determine if background experiences in geographic education affects the accuracy of maps.
Sea-surface temperature estimates for the tropical western Pacific during the last glaciation and their implications for the Pacific warm pool

Twenty deep-sea sediment cores from the western Pacific between 30°N and 30°S provide evidence of sea-surface temperature (SST) changes throughout the tropics and subtropics. The results indicate that a western Pacific warm pool existed during

An overview of the history of academic geography in the Pacific Northwest for geography departments that published in this Yearbook between 1990 and 1994. The history begins in 1856, the year Monmouth University (today Western Oregon), the oldest
school considered in this study, was founded. The origin, growth, character and key figures of various US and Canadian departments in the region are well-documented. The number of geography faculty in the US part of the region peaked in 1970, with most US

Security implications of a worst-case scenario of climate change in the South-west Pacific

This paper examines the links between climate change and security in the island states of the South-west Pacific. A worst-case scenario of climate change is presented which suggests that land will be lost or rendered uninhabitable in all Pacific
states of the South-west Pacific. Clearly, climate change is an important threat to human security.
A comparison of 500 hPa height patterns associated with anticyclones of Pacific and continental origin impacting the central Gulf Coast, United States

This research examines the 500 hPa circulation patterns that lead to the occurrence of days dominated by anticyclones of Pacific origin (Pacific Highs) over the central Gulf Coast. Although the geographically preferred zones of greatest height
variability are similar to those leading up to days dominated by anticyclones of continental origin (Continental Highs), variability centers on the northern fringes of the extratropics seem to support Pacific High activity to a greater extent than was found
