Weichselian–Holocene glacial history of the Sjuøyane archipelago, northern Svalbard

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
To reconstruct the glacial history of Sjuøyane, we describe coastal sedimentary sections in Quaternary sediments and constrain their chronology by radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence ages. The sedimentary sections largely consist of shallow (glacio‐)marine and/or littoral sediments deposited during high relative sea levels.

Relative sea‐level trends in southern Norway during the last millennium

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Relative sea level in southern Norway has been falling since c. 7000 cal. yr BP, but modern tide gauge data show rising relative sea level since at least 1960 CE. In this study, peat cores from a shallow coastal basin were analysed, using a multiproxy approach, to reconstruct relative sea level trends over the last millennium and to identify the onset ...

Multiple indicators record human adaptations to climatic change during the Middle Holocene at the Wanbei site in the middle and lower Huai River valley, China

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The archaeological sediment sequences analysis from the Wanbei site reveals a predominantly warm and humid climate with a brief cooling phase between 5600 and 5400 a BP, during the Middle Holocene in the middle and lower Huai River valley. Despite the cooling trend, rice remained the dominant crop in mixed farming, while the proportion of millet ...

Comments on ‘Late Middle Pleistocene Wolstonian Stage (MIS 6) glaciation in lowland Britain and its North Sea regional equivalents – a review’

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Divergent views debated over the past 20 years on the Wolstonian depositional record of Fenland and the Peterborough area have centred on whether there is evidence of a single (middle or late) glaciation or of both a middle and a late glaciation. A recent review promoted a single late Wolstonian glaciation, despite there being incontrovertible evidence

Past aridity and dust drove biodiversity crises and altered pollination in the ancient gymnosperm Ephedra (Gnetales)

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The long‐term effects of present‐day climate change on pollination are unquantified. However, distinguishing climatic drivers of ancient changes in pollination could provide valuable insights into biotic responses to near‐future climate states.

Between the Poles: Rethinking Global Patterns in Sea Anemone Biodiversity

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To assess global sampling coverage of sea anemones and global species richness across four different spatial resolutions, and analyse these along latitudinal gradients to investigate true bimodality and the extent to which these patterns have been influenced by uneven sampling efforts. Location The study encompasses a global scale.

Investigation of sedimentary rocks and grains in the round: Micron‐scale SEM‐BEX 360° and 3D imaging

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, Volume 298, Issue 3, Page 254-261, June 2025.
Abstract The aim of the current paper is to demonstrate the use of a novel prototype horizontal rotation stage, within a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Here we utilise sedimentary rock chips and grains, with images collected every 10 ° of rotation, to produce a continuous overlapping field of view 360° montage.

Undulating stratigraphy of a carbonate inner ramp lagoon and associated architectural facies heterogeneity: An example from the Late Jurassic Hanifa Formation, Central Saudi Arabia

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 3, Page 734-762, April 2025.
Abstract This study offers new insights into the internal architecture of shallow marine carbonate sediments deposited in an epeiric sea formed on a broadly flooded passive margin continental shelf. The Ullayah Member of the Late Jurassic Hanifa Formation is exposed along the Tuwaiq Mountain Escarpment in Central Saudi Arabia and serves as an example ...
