Holocene landscape evolution and its interaction with human activities in the southern piedmont of Taihang Mountain, Central China [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Piedmont zones have been witnessing intensive human activities since ancient times. However, it remains unclear when it comes to the environmental mechanism for early humans exploiting piedmont zones.

Mid-Holocene reinforcement of North Atlantic atmospheric circulation variability from a western Baltic lake sediment record [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 Knowledge about the timing, amplitude and spatial gradients of Holocene environmental variability in the circum-Baltic region is key to understanding its responses to ongoing climate change.

Seasonal deposition processes and chronology of a varved Holocene lake sediment record from Chatyr Kol lake (Kyrgyz Republic) [PDF]
Geochronology, 2020 Microfacies analysis of a sediment record from Chatyr Kol lake (Kyrgyz Republic) reveals the presence of seasonal laminae (varves) from the sediment base dated at 11 619±603 BP (years Before Present) up to ∼360±40 BP.

Phases of stability during major hydroclimate change ending the Last Glacial in the Levant
Scientific Reports, 2022 In-depth understanding of the reorganization of the hydrological cycle in response to global climate change is crucial in highly sensitive regions like the eastern Mediterranean, where water availability is a major factor for socioeconomic and political ...

The role of Medieval road operation on cultural landscape transformation
Scientific Reports, 2021 Connecting pathways are essential for cultural and economic exchange. Commonly, historians investigate the role of routes for cultural development, whereas the environmental impacts of historical routes attract less attention.

Stat-tracks and mediotypes: powerful tools for modern ichnology based on 3D models [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Vertebrate tracks are subject to a wide distribution of morphological types. A single trackmaker may be associated with a range of tracks reflecting individual pedal anatomy and behavioural kinematics mediated through substrate properties which may vary ...

Solar modulation of flood frequency in central Europe during spring and summer on interannual to multi-centennial timescales [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2016 Solar influences on climate variability are one of the most controversially discussed topics in climate research. We analyze solar forcing of flood frequency in central Europe during spring and summer on interannual to multi-centennial timescales ...

Magnetostratigraphy of sediments from Lake El'gygytgyn ICDP Site 5011-1: paleomagnetic age constraints for the longest paleoclimate record from the continental Arctic [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2014 Paleomagnetic measurements were performed on sediments drilled from ICDP Site 5011-1 in Lake El'gygytgyn (67°30' N, 172°05' E) located in Far East Russian Arctic. The lake partly fills a crater formed by a meteorite impact 3.58 ± 0.04 Ma ago.
