Archives of climate variability on Kiritimati: lacustrine, aeolian and remote sensing perspectives
No full textSedimentary archives from tropical Pacific islands, together with records of modern hydrological processes, can provide information on past changes in tropical hydroclimate and test island landscape sensitivity to changes in the hydrologic cycle. For small tropical islands in particular, insight into past and present hydroclimate variability is important, given the strong influence of the tropical Pacific climate on freshwater resources and hazards like flooding and drought. Reconstructions of hydroclimate from key locations can help test hypotheses regarding mechanisms and drivers of tropical Pacific climate variability. However, such reconstructions are currently temporally and spatially limited, reducing our ability to understand past atmospheric moisture balance over long timescales.
A new lake sediment record from Kiritimati Island, in the northern Line Islands of the central tropical Pacific (CTP) Ocean (2°N, 157°W), improves our understanding of the spatial structure of the hydroclimate for the past millennium in the tropical Pacific. Geochemical and sedimentological data indicate drier conditions prevailed during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and transitioned to wetter conditions during the Little Ice Age (LIA) on Kiritimati, suggesting a southward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) at the MCA-LIA transition. However, comparing the Kiritimati lake record with hydroclimate proxies around the tropical Pacific does not support a particular pattern of variability for MCA or LIA hydroclimate, thus the results do not point to particular mechanisms to explain tropical Pacific climate variability during the last millennium.
Even in the instrumental era, the relationship between climate variability and hydrologic variability for many tropical islands remains uncertain due local hydroclimatic data scarcity and island remoteness. However, utilizing the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to investigate variability in island surface water area, I demonstrate links between climate variability and island freshwater storage. Results indicate that future changes to the frequency and amplitude of interannual hydroclimate variability, as well as seasonal duration, will alter surface water coverage on Kiritimati. This localized assessment of climate stressors to island hydrology helps to inform freshwater stress projections for at-risk tropical islands.
However, terrestrial changes associated with Pacific climate variability are not limited to the scope of lacustrine records. Aeolian sedimentary archives are a less common approach to documenting tropical hydroclimate variability but given the profound impact of the ocean-atmosphere system on Kiritimati, aeolian archives provide a unique opportunity to test the role of hydroclimate imprint on the island landscape. To assess a potential aeolian paleoenvironmental record of Pacific climate variability and test island landscape sensitivity in response to climate and anthropogenic disturbance, I utilized sedimentological data and stratigraphic observations associated with paired organic–inorganic radiocarbon dates from coastal aeolian deposits on Kiritimati. Based on this nascent chronology, dune systems on Kiritimati appear sensitive to anthropogenic landscape disturbance. Yet prior to mid 20th century military operations, dune systems may reflect predominantly large-scale shifts in central tropical Pacific atmospheric moisture, and therefore represent a useful terrestrial archive of regional climate.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-12-01The student, Melinda Higley, accepted the attached license on 2018-11-27 at 20:57.The student, Melinda Higley, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-11-27 at 20:58.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-12-06 at 08:02.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13127 on 2019-02-07 at 14:18:11Made available in DSpace on 2019-02-07T20:36:02Z (GMT).

Between languages the uncooperative text in early Welsh and Old English nature poetry
No full textEarly Welsh and Old English poetry are rarely spoken of together, but when they are, they have been described as like or different from one another. Sarah Higley breaks this cycle of mutual marginalization by examining what it means to read otherness or sameness into a text, concluding that too much of our reading is "anglo-centric" in its expectations and dictated by invisible ideological agendas. Examinations of the Llywarch Hen Corpus, for instance, have sought comparisons among the Old English elegies, but mainly for the purpose of demonstrating how the Welsh are of a color with them: derived from the same penitential genre merely less explicit in their penitential thrust. Scholars have been reluctant to acknowledge the secular nature of these Welsh laments, which are discomfitingly silent about divine solace and which, like the Old English poems, do not cooperate with our efforts to categorize themThe author reexamines notions of genre, category, and poetic "explicitness" and how they snare us. Higley sees the English and Welsh traditions as foils to one another rather than as template and variation, and she starts with the connection of natural image and emotion, employed differently in these two contiguous but separate traditions. She shows how the English poems, long thought to be disjointed and cryptic, are invested in explanation and disclosure to a degree that the Welsh are not. The Welsh "omissions" might be better understood as dynamic juxtapositions wherein other poetic aspects (metrics, imagery, context) serve to link ideas, perhaps even to disrupt them. She sees difficulty, ambiguity, and dialogism as loci of power - neither accidents of our reading distance nor defects in other classical standards of wholenessReading the English and the Welsh together with a respect for the mutual differences helps us to get beyond some of the cliche's about what is English and "familiar" and what is Celtic and "other." Her argument revolves around the plight of the lone human as he or she is depicted in these texts in a precarious state of connection with the rest of the world: caught between society and wilderness, inside and outside, sacred and secular, meaning and nonmeaning. This focus on connection informs the title as well: "between languages" expresses our position as readers reading two different cultures together, reading ancient literature mediated through modern poetic theory, and the position of medieval scholarship in its struggle between traditional and postmodern approache
