Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Contrasting Changes of Debris-Free Glacier and Debris-Covered Glacier in Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Debris-free and debris-covered glaciers are both extensively present in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. High-precision and rigorous comparative observational studies on different types of glaciers help us to accurately understand the overall state of ...

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Geochemical and granulometric fingerprints of 8200 years of westerly wind variability in inner‐fjord lake sediments from Svalbard

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth. As sea ice diminishes, the surface boundary conditions, such as roughness and air–sea coupling, change and open‐water fetch increases. This may enhance wind forcing on Arctic coasts. Lake sediments can record these changes through the deposition of wind‐blown grains and elements, offering ...

Lead isotope evidence for Antarctic Ice Sheet changes in the Weddell Sea sector since the Last Glacial Maximum

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The Weddell Sea influences global ocean circulation and sea level through modulating Antarctic Bottom Water formation and Antarctic Ice Sheet discharges, but the history of ice‐sheet dynamics in this region remains poorly constrained due to limited well‐dated geological records.

Authoring Terrestrial Planets with Diffusion Models

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract To support the design and subsequent generation of terrestrial planets for use in the creative media, we propose a solution that employs a generative model trained on satellite data from planetary bodies with a defined solid surface, such as the Earth and Mars.

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Climate refugia identification as high‐priority areas to improve ecosystem conservation in central Chile

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Climate refugia through the integration of topographic and biodiversity features offer a practical method to expand protection networks in central Chile. Our results show that the inclusion of relatively small climate refugia areas to protection networks can greatly improve ecosystem representation, advancing toward meeting Target 3 of the Kunming ...
