 | Chapman, David S.; Harris, Robert N. | Climate change in India inferred from geothermal observations | Temporal variations in surface ground temperature impart a signal to the subsurface thermal regime that is captured in borehole temperature-depth profiles. Seventy temperature-depth profiles in India, located between 12o and 28oN, are analyzed to infer past changes in ground temperature. | Climate change; borehole temperatures; surface ground temperature; surface air temperature; geothermal observations; India | 2002 |

 | Chapman, David S. | Exhumation of the central Wasatch Mountains, Utah: 1, Patterns and timing of exhumation deduced from low-temperature thermochronology data | The Wasatch Mountains are often cited as an example of normal fault growth and footwall flexure. They represent a tilted footwall at the edge of the Basin and Range extensional province, a major rift basin. Thus understanding the detailed spatial and elevation changes in coupled thermochronometer da... | Uplift; exhumation; Wasatch fault; Wasatch Mountains; Utah; helium dating; fission track; tectonophysics; Extensional tectonics; geothermal observations | 2002 |

 | Chapman, David S. | Exhumation of the central Wasatch Mountains, Utah: 2, thermokinematic model of exhumation, erosion, and thermochronometer interpretation | The Wasatch fault is a ~370 km long normal fault in Utah that marks the boundary between the stable Colorado Plateau to the east and the extending Basin and Range to the west. Understanding the thermokinematic evolution of this fault can provide insights into intracontinental extensional tectonics a... | Uplift; exhumation; Wasatch Fault; Wasatch Mountains; Utah; helium dating; fission track; tectonophysics; extensional tectonics; geothermal observations | 2002 |

 | Chapman, David S. | Geothermics and climate change: 1. Analysis of borehole temperatures with emphasis on resolving power | Temperature-depth data from six boreholes in western Utah and nine boreholes in southeastern Utah are reanalyzed for evidence of ground surface temperature (GST) histories. We invert the temperature-depth data using the functional space inverse algorithm of Shen and Beck [1991, 1992] which we prefer... | surface air temperature; ground surface temperature; borehole temperatures; geothermal observations; geothermics | 1998 |

 | Chapman, David S. | Geothermics and climate change: 2. Joint analysis of borehole temperature and meteorological data | Long-period ground surface temperature variations contained in bore hole temperature-depth profiles form a complementary climate change record to high-frequency, but noisy surface air temperature (SAT) records at weather stations. We illustrate the benefits of jointly analyzing geothermal and meteo... | surface air temperature; ground surface temperature; borehole temperatures; geothermal observations; heat transfer | 1998 |

 | Chapman, David S.; Harris, Robert N. | Snow and the ground temperature record of climate change | Borehole temperature-depth profiles contain a record of surface ground temperature (SGT) changes with time and complement surface air temperature (SAT) analysis to infer climate change over multiple centuries. Ground temperatures are generally warmer than air temperatures due to solar radiation effe... | Snow cover; snow modeling; land/atmosphere interactions; borehole climate reconstructions; surface air temperature; ground surface temperature; borehole temperatures; geothermal observations; heat transfer | 2002 |
