South Atlantic Multi‐Site Calibration of Coral Oxygen Isotope Paleothermometer
Coral‐based stable oxygen isotopes (δ18O) have been used as a proxy for sea surface temperature (SST) since the 1970s, and δ18O–SST calibration studies have been fundamental to assure robust and faithful SST reconstructions.

Calcite cement is a common diagenetic mineral in carbonate rocks and plays an important role on rock quality as hydrocarbon reservoirs. Traditionally, oxygen isotopic compositions (δ18O) of the diagenetic calcites tend to decrease with increasing depths ...

High-resolution late-glacial chronology for the Gerzensee lake record (Switzerland): δ18O correlation between a Gerzensee-stack and NGRIP [PDF]
Oxygen-isotope variations were analyzed on bulk samples of shallow-water lake marl from Gerzensee, Switzerland, in order to evaluate major and minor climatic oscillations during the late-glacial.

Review of the Salpausselkä ice‐marginal formations in Finland
ABSTRACT Extensive Salpausselkä ice‐marginal formations were deposited in southern and eastern Finland during the Weichselian deglaciation. These comprise three major ridges (I, II, and III Salpausselkäs) and their eastern counterparts (Tuupovaara, Koitere, and Pielisjärvi), together forming laterally continuous ice‐marginal formations extending ...

ABSTRACT Submarine caves are cryptic, climatically sensitive habitats with long‐term ecological dynamics that are poorly understood. We present the first palaeoecological analysis of bryozoans from Daidokutsu Cave (Okinawa, Japan), based on a sediment core spanning approximately the last 7000 years.

Late Quaternary lake filling and drying in northern Australia's largest freshwater lake
ABSTRACT Lake Woods, Jurrkulu, is northern Australia's largest freshwater lake filled today in strong Indo–Australian summer monsoons (IASM) to maximum depths of ~5 m. On the western margins of the lake, two large arcuate ridges occur 20 to 40 m above the lake floor and inset within these are other mid‐elevation lake deposits, such as depositional ...

Variations in stable oxygen isotopes (δ18O) in the body water of animals reflect changes in δ18O values in environmental water and the animals' physiological processes.

ABSTRACT Regional variability and long‐term changes of past ecosystems likely had a strong impact on hunter–gatherer population dynamics, including the expansion of anatomically modern humans and the disappearance of Neanderthals. However, our understanding of these ecosystems remains limited, even when looking at large‐scale patterns, such as the ...

ABSTRACT Despite the increasing number of studies undertaking isotopic analyses on archaeological material, some regions of the world and certain research foci remain underresearched and underrepresented. One of these regions is Southeast Asia, where bioarchaeological research was only comparatively recently established compared with other regions of ...
