In this paper we apply area-volume relations developed for Quaternary ice sheets to estimate the glacio-eustatic component of sea-level fluctuations in the Carboniferous. Utilizing the best estimate of Gondwanan ice area at the time of its greatest extent, we arrive at a figure of 60 ±15 m for the isostasy-corrected glacio-eustatic component. This value is nearer the lower limit of sea-level estimates for cyclothem fluctuations from other sources. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.

Antisemitism Explained

Steven K. Baum

"Beneath the surface [of our society]," writes historian Robert Wistrich, are "ancient myths, dark hatreds, and irrational fantasies [that] continue to nourish antisemitism." But the larger question has to do with why we are so prone to believe them. To that end, Steven K. Baum has an answer. In this book, Baum carefully guides the reader through the social mind and explains how the formation of social beliefs can be used as a narrative to determine reality. He offers a new perspective regarding how antisemitic legends and folk beliefs form the basis of our ongoing social narrative. Baum asks the reader to consider a social unconscious-the cauldron of cultural fantasies that consists of superstitions, magical thinking, and racial tales. This witches' brew concocts a Social Voice that can be loud or quiet, benign or hostile, fleeting or permanent. Most importantly, this voice is undeniably antisemitic and racist. As is often the case in the court of public opinion, those who own the narrative, win. In Antisemitism Explained, Baum reminds us to think critically about our own social narrative and to be careful about what we choose to believe.

Modeling ocean heat content changes during the last millennium

Geophysical Research Letters (2003)

Thomas J. Crowley Steven K. Baum Kwang‐Yul Kim Gabriele C. Hegerl William T. Hyde

Observational studies show a significant increase in ocean heat content over the last half century. Herein we estimate heat content changes during the last millennium with a climate model whose forcing terms have been best‐fit to surface proxy data. The model simulates the observed late 20th century ocean heat content increase and a comparable Little Ice Age minimum. When glacial advances are factored in, these results imply a sea level fall after the Middle Ages that is consistent with some geologic data. The present ocean heat content increase can be traced back to the mid‐19th century, with a near‐linear rate of change during the 20th century.

Effect of decreased solar luminosity on late Precambrian ice extent

Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres (1993)

Thomas J. Crowley Steven K. Baum

The latest Precambrian (∼0.57 Ga) was marked by extensive glaciation on a supercontinent. Ice cover may have been in lower latitudes than during the Pleistocene. Deglaciation and breakup of the supercontinent were followed by the first appearance/expansion of metazoans. Herein we report results from a seasonal climate model that clarify some of the processes operating during this important time interval. We demonstrate that, because solar luminosity was about 6% less than present, the modeled snowline was approximately 15° equatorward of its modeled Pleistocene limit. The significance of this response depends on choice of paleogeographic reconstruction. If the supercontinent was located entirely in low latitudes, the freezing line changes would not be enough to trigger glaciation on land. However, the luminosity changes are much more important if the supercontinent extended into midlatitudes (∼50° paleolatitude). Such a configuration has extensive summer snowcover and would provide a “seed” area for ice growth into lower latitudes. We postulate that if the large snowline changes we simulate were coupled to an ice sheet model, the ice margin could have reached to within 25° of the equator. Such a response could reconcile models and geologic data, but the reconciliation would critically depend on a more precise definition of low latitude glaciation, that is, whether the ice was at 25–30° or 0° latitude. Additional simulations for one Precambrian/Cambrian boundary reconstruction (∼0.54 Ga) suggest that reduction in late Precambrian snow cover might simply reflect movement of a midlatitude supercontinent into lower latitudes. The deglaciation could have been associated with a sea level rise of as much as 250–300 m, creating a much larger area for habitat occupation by benthic biota. Although more work is required on this topic, our results could explain both glaciation and deglaciation, with the explanation critically dependent on choice of paleogeographic reconstruction and more precise descriptions of late Precambrian ice sheet locations.

On the cover of Ron Rosenbaum's book Explaining Hitler is a compelling portrait of human contradiction. After your eyes leave the title, they are drawn to the background, where a photograph of an infant Adolph Hitler becomes more obvious. As one stares into the infant's eyes to search for clues, there are none to be found. This is a baby with all a baby's innocence, awe, and excitement of human life. The picture stands in stark contrast to the name that became synonymous with hatred and misery for millions. The simple juxtaposition of name and photo commands the observer to ask: between then and now, what happened?
