Hydrographic changes in the Agulhas Recirculation Region during the late Quaternary [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2014
The strength of Southern Hemisphere westerlies, as well as the positions of the subtropical front (STF), Agulhas Current (AC) and Agulhas Return Current (ARC) control the hydrography of the southwestern Indian Ocean. Although equatorward migration of the

Vegetation context and climatic limits of the Early Pleistocene hominin dispersal in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The vegetation and the climatic context in which the first hominins entered and dispersed in Europe during the Early Pleistocene are reconstructed, using literature review and a new climatic simulation. Both in situ fauna and in situ pollen at the twelve

Sedimentary biomarkers reaffirm human impacts on northern Beringian ecosystems during the Last Glacial period

open access: yesBoreas, 2020
Our understanding of the timing of human arrival to the Americas remains fragmented, despite decades of active research and debate. Genetic research has recently led to the ‘Beringian standstill hypothesis’ (BSH), which suggests an isolated group of ...

A late Pleistocene long pollen record from Lake Urmia, NW Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A palynological study based on two 100-m long cores from Lake Urmia in northwestern Iran provides a vegetation record spanning 200 ka, the longest pollen record for the continental interior of the Near East.

NALPS19: sub-orbital-scale climate variability recorded in northern Alpine speleothems during the last glacial period

open access: yes, 2020
. Sub-orbital-scale climate variability of the last glacial period provides important insights into the rates at which the climate can change state, the mechanisms that drive such changes, and the leads, lags, and synchronicity occurring across different

Astronomical forcing shaped the timing of early Pleistocene glacial cycles

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Glacial cycles during the early Pleistocene are characterised by a dominant 41,000-year periodicity and amplitudes smaller than those of glacial cycles with ~100,000-year periodicity during the late Pleistocene. However, it remains unclear how the 41,000-

The glacial geomorphology of sub-Antarctic Marion Island

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2021
Since the discovery of glacial features on sub-Antarctic Marion Island, the character and extent of a historic glacial period have remained an important research focus for earth science investigations.

Geology of Tindfjallajökull volcano, Iceland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The geology of Tindfjallajökull volcano, southern Iceland, is presented as a 1:50,000 scale map. Field mapping was carried out with a focus on indicators of past environments.

Post-Little Ice Age glacial lake evolution in Svalbard: inventory of lake changes and lake types

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
The rapid formation of glacial lakes is one of the most conspicuous landscape changes caused by atmospheric warming in glacierised regions. However, relatively little is known about the history and current state of glacial lakes in the High Arctic.
