Hydroclimate variability in the eastern Kimberley, Australia, since the last deglaciation
ABSTRACT The climate of the Kimberley region in tropical northwest Australia is dominated by the Indo‐Australian summer monsoon (IASM). Understanding of the palaeoclimate since the Last Glacial Maximum in this region, which is well placed to record IASM variations, is currently based on few records.

Study on Preparation of Metal Bismuth Targets
High temperature chemical extract method can be used to separate 209Bi and 210Po in bismuth target after reactor irradiated. Two kinds of metal bismuth targets are designed. The MNCP program is used to simulate the neutron flux and nuclear heating in the

Abstract The ocean contributes to regulating atmospheric CO2 levels via the biological carbon pump (BCP). One critical aspect of the BCP is the depth at which sinking particulate organic carbon (POC) remineralizes in the mesopelagic zone (200–1,000 m). In the Southern Ocean, the circulation is such that the products generated from POC remineralization ...

Preparation of Standard Plane Source of 210Po
A method of spontaneous deposition of 210Po on a silver disc was used to prepare the standard plane source in a 210Pb solution. The prepared source was measured by an alpha spectrometer.

Nitrogen Processes Within Tropical Mangroves in Australia
Abstract Coastal wetlands have long been identified as ecosystems that can ameliorate N inputs into the ocean. The processes associated with N uptake, transformation, and losses are relatively well understood for temperate wetlands; however, information on tropical wetlands is scarce.

A record of monsoon rainforest variability from the Kimberley region in northwestern Australia
ABSTRACT Northern Australia experiences extreme seasonality via the Indo‐Australian summer monsoon, with high inter‐annual variability in hydroclimate. Understanding the influence of hydrological variability on the landscape through the period of human occupation provides important environmental context to support the interpretation of the rich ...

Holocene Lake Sediments Reveal Alluvial Fan History With Links to Climate, Wildfire, and Earthquakes
Abstract Flood hazards along alluvial rivers vary over time due to changes in both flow regime and channel morphology; however, their millennial‐scale histories are difficult to study from incomplete and poorly dated alluvial stratigraphies. Thus, the role of external forcings (e.g., climate) in the magnitude of alluvial channel dynamics remains poorly

Limited Organic Carbon Burial by the Rusty Carbon Sink in Swedish Fjord Sediments
Abstract Marine sediments bury ∼160 Tg of organic carbon (OC) annually and represent an essential component of the global carbon cycle. OC burial is inherently multifactorial; however, in the past decade, the role of iron in regulating OC burial via the formation of organo‐mineral associations, known as “rusty carbon sink,” has been extensively studied.
