Porto Selvaggio in southern Italy is where the Uluzzian culture was first identified and documented, providing key insights into the transition from the Middle to the Upper Paleolithic. The area has also yielded evidence ... -
Identifying Global‐Scale Patterns of Vegetation Change During the Last Deglaciation From Paleoclimate Networks
; ; (Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 2021-12-20)
During the last deglaciation (∼19–11 ka before present), the global mean temperature increased by 3–8 K. The concurrent hydroclimate and land cover changes are not well constrained. Here, we use a pollen database to quantify ... -
Environmental Regulation of the Nitrogen Supply, Mean Trophic Position, and Trophic Enrichment of Mesozooplankton in the Mekong River Plume and Southern South China Sea
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2021-08-22)
The mean trophic position (TP) of mesozooplankton largely determines how much mass and energy is available for higher trophic levels like fish. Unfortunately, the ratio of herbivores to carnivores in mesozooplankton is ... -
The Impact of Typhoon “Mangkhut” on Surface Water Nutrient and Chlorophyll Inventories of the South China Sea in September 2018

The influence of the exceptionally strong typhoon Mangkhut on the availability of nutrients and changes in primary production were studied in the northern South China Sea in September 2018. A tight station grid was sampled ... -
Effects of Reversal of Water Flow in an Arctic Floodplain River on Fluvial Emissions of CO2 and CH4
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2022-01-04)
When organic matter from thawed permafrost is released, the sources and sinks of greenhouse gases (GHGs), like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) in Arctic rivers will be influenced in the future. However, the temporal ... -
Leaf Wax Hydrogen Isotopes as a Hydroclimate Proxy in the Tropical Pacific
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2021-03-25)Hydrogen isotope ratios of sedimentary leaf waxes (δ2HWax values) are increasingly used to reconstruct past hydroclimate. Here, we add δ2HWax values from 19 lakes and four swamps on 15 tropical Pacific islands to an updated ... -
Investigating Middle Palaeolithic subsistence: zooarchaeological perspectives on the potential character of hominin climate refugia in Greece
; (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2021-09-21)
It has long been proposed that during Pleistocene climatic perturbations the Balkan peninsula sustained refugial areas for fauna, flora, and potentially, hominins. In this study, we explore Middle Palaeolithic subsistence ... -
‘Ten Years After’—a long‐term settlement and bioerosion experiment in an Arctic rhodolith bed (Mosselbukta, Svalbard)
; ; ; ; (Geobiology, 2021-09-15)
Rhodolith beds and bioherms formed by ecosystem engineering crustose coralline algae support the northernmost centres of carbonate production, referred to as polar cold‐water carbonate factories. Yet, little is known about ... -
An early Eocene fossil from the British London Clay elucidates the evolutionary history of the enigmatic Archaeotrogonidae (Aves, Strisores)
(Papers in Palaeontology, 2021-07-18)
