Reconstruction and palaeoclimatic implications of Loch Lomond Readvance glaciers in the Southeast Grampians, Scotland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The glaciation of Scotland during the Loch Lomond Stadial (LLS; 12.9–11.7 ka BP) left a distinct and well‐preserved geomorphological signature, permitting detailed reconstructions of former glaciers and palaeoclimatic conditions. However, the extent and style of glaciation in the Southeast Grampians remains poorly constrained.

Hydroclimate variability in the eastern Kimberley, Australia, since the last deglaciation

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
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.

Seasonal Stream Water Chemistry Response To Long-Term Forestry Drainage And Wildfire: A Case Study In A Part Of The Great Vasyugan Mire

Geography, Environment, Sustainability
Recent research suggests that climate change is contributing to rising solute concentrations in streams. This study focuses on assessing the concentrations of major elements, nutrients, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and their release through the ...

Towards sustainable ecological networks of peat bogs in central Russia; development of local environmental action program (LEAP) as a practical tool for protection and restoration of peat bogs in Egorievsk sub region [PDF]

In central and northern Meshera the habitats for many characteristic peat bog species now show a very fragmented pattern. As a result, the potential for viable populations of characteristic peat bog species has decreased considerably.

At the far end of everything: A likely Ahrensburgian presence in the far north of the Isle of Skye, Scotland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A Late Upper Paleolithic (LUP) site containing Ahrensburgian‐type stone tools has been discovered at South Cuidrach, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Together with a group of intertidal stone circular alignments also recently discovered on the island, this new evidence for the occupation of northern Scotland also represents the most northerly LUP site ...

An investigation into differential lateral dispersion of fossil forest tree pollen [PDF]

, 1974
Pollen rain phenomena with particular reference to forest pollen are discussed with evidence from FAEGRI.K and IVERSON.J, TAUBER.H, TURNER.J, and DAVIS .M. B. The existence of fossil tree pollen rain in raised bogs is postulated. The problem of local bog

A numerical approach to 14C wiggle-match dating of organic deposits: best fits and confidence intervals [PDF]

, 2002
14C wiggle-match dating (WMD) of peat deposits uses the non-linear relationship between 14C age and calendar age to match the shape of a sequence of closely spaced peat 14C dates with the 14C calibration curve.

Challenges in dating blanket peat and implications for understanding its initiation in Ireland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blanket peat is widespread in maritime extra‐tropical environments. Prehistoric land‐use activity was traditionally invoked as the stimulus of blanket peat initiation in the British Isles, but recently, climate has been viewed as the driver of peat formation.
