Role of eccentricity in early Holocene African and Asian summer monsoons [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
The effect of precession on paleoclimate changes depends on eccentricity. However, whether and to what degree eccentricity relates to millennial-scale monsoonal changes remain unclear.

Morphometric affinities and direct radiocarbon dating of the Toca dos Coqueiros’ skull (Serra da Capivara, Brazil)

Scientific Reports, 2022
The biological variation of the earliest skeletons of South America has been intensely debated for the last two centuries. One of the major research constraints has been the limited number of available samples dating to the early Holocene.

Holocene trends in the foraminifer record from the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2010
The early to mid-Holocene thermal optimum is a well-known feature in a wide variety of paleoclimate archives from the Northern Hemisphere. Reconstructed summer temperature anomalies from across northern Europe show a clear maximum around 6000 years ...

Precipitation changes in the Mediterranean basin during the Holocene from terrestrial and marine pollen records: a model–data comparison [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2017
Climate evolution of the Mediterranean region during the Holocene exhibits strong spatial and temporal variability, which is notoriously difficult for models to reproduce. We propose here a new proxy-based climate synthesis synthesis and its comparison –

Lakeside cemeteries in the Sahara: 5000 years of holocene population and environmental change. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BackgroundApproximately two hundred human burials were discovered on the edge of a paleolake in Niger that provide a uniquely preserved record of human occupation in the Sahara during the Holocene ( approximately 8000 B.C.E. to the present).
