QUATERNARY STRATIGRAPHY AND SOIL DEVELOPMENT AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE CENTRAL ALPS (ITALY): THE BAGAGGERA SEQUENCE

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2020
A complcx sequence exposed in clay Pit, near Bagaggera, is described in some details. Palaeomagnetic stratigraphy and archaeologic fillds indicate that the sediments of the Bagaggera basin accumulated at least from Farly Pleistocene up to Late ...

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

Drilling the Marathousa palaeo‐lake in Greece (Peloponnese): inferring the environmental context of a Middle Pleistocene archaeological site

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Megalopolis Basin is located in the central Peloponnese (Greece), a region that is situated along one of the primary Pleistocene biogeographical corridors for intracontinental hominin migration. The basin comprises several hundred metres of Plio‐Pleistocene sediments alternating between clastics and lignites.

Weichselian history of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet centre, Kvarken archipelago, western Finland—flow shifts, thermal regime and deglaciation

Boreas, EarlyView.
Rapid thaw of the Earth's cryosphere in response to anthropogenic warming highlights the need to identify and understand the contrasting signatures of past ice‐sheet stability and collapse. The Kvarken archipelago, western Finland, at the centre of the former Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS), has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition

Evolution of millennial-scale sandy land’s advance and retreat in the Chinese sand-loess belt since 150 ka

Geoderma
Understanding the evolution of aeolian activities and the changes in desert/sand environments is crucial for clarifying their occurrence mechanisms and promoting ecological restoration.

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Reef development at high-latitudes during multiple interglacial cycles: New evidence from Lord Howe Island, southwestern Pacific

, 2007
Reef development during past Interglacial periods, when sea level and sea surface temperatures were higher than today, provide unique insights into how reef systems may respond to projected human-induced global warming.

The Neanderthal Occupations at Veldwezelt-Hezerwater (Belgium) and the Challenge of the Eemian Forest in Northwest Europe

PaleoAnthropology
The loess-paleosol sequences in the provinces of Belgian and Dutch Limburg (Northeastern Belgium and Southern Netherlands, respectively) reveal a continuous record of paleo-climatic variations during the late Middle and Upper Pleistocene.

EPICA Dome C record of glacial and interglacial intensities

, 2010
Climate models show strong links between Antarctic and global temperature both in future and in glacial climate simulations. Past Antarctic temperatures can be estimated from measurements of water stable isotopes along the EPICA Dome C ice core over the ...

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.
