Evaporite karst in Italy: a review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Speleology, 2017
Although outcropping rarely in Italy, evaporite (gypsum and anhydrite) karst has been described in detail since the early 20th century. Gypsum caves are now known from almost all Italian regions, but are mainly localised along the northern border of the ...

Paleoclimate, paleoenvironment and source rock development model of Eocene in Shunde Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development
Based on the comprehensive analysis of data from petrology and mineralogy, well logging, seismic surveys, paleontology, and geochemistry, a detailed research was conducted on paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic conditions, and modeling of the source ...

Evaluation of a modern-analogue methodology for reconstructing Australian palaeoclimate from pollen

open access: yes, 2016
Quantitative palaeoclimate reconstructions are widely used to evaluate climate model performance. Here, as part of an effort to provide such a data set for Australia, we examine the impact of analytical decisions and sampling assumptions on modern ...

Late Pleistocene Low-Altitude Atlantic Palaeoglaciation and Palaeo-ELA Modelling: Insights from Serra da Cabreira, NW Iberia

open access: yesQuaternary
Low-altitude palaeoglaciation in Atlantic mountain regions provides important insights into past climatic conditions and moisture dynamics during the Last Glacial Cycle. This study presents the first quantitative reconstruction of palaeoglaciers in Serra

Methods for determining peat humification and for quantifying peat bulk density, organic matter and carbon content for palaeostudies of climate and peatland carbon dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2011
Quantitative palaeostudies of climate change and carbon dynamics are reliant on precise and accurate laboratory measurements. Here we present laboratory protocols for the colorimetric determination of peat humification and for bulk density and organic ...

The Last Glacial Maximum in the central North Island, New Zealand: Palaeoclimate inferences from glacier modelling

open access: yes, 2016
© Author(s) 2016. Quantitative palaeoclimate reconstructions provide data for evaluating the mechanisms of past, natural climate variability. Geometries of former mountain glaciers, constrained by moraine mapping, afford the opportunity to reconstruct ...

The archaeology of glaciers and ice patches: The intersection of climate change, glacier retreat and cultural heritage

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology
The archaeology of glaciers and ice patches has developed as a distinct new field in response to climate change and the melting of mountain ice. Thousands of artefacts and biological materials, dating back up to 10 000 years are being released from ...

Procedures for extraction and purification of leaf wax biomarkers from peats [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2011
Palaeoecological and palaeoclimate reconstruction, using leaf wax biomarkers, is a relatively new sub-discipline of peatland science. The ability to process large numbers of samples rapidly for biomarkers makes this type of analysis particularly ...

Micropaleontology and palaeoclimate during the early Cretaceous in the Lishu depression, Songliao basin, Northeast China

open access: yes, 2017
Diverse and abundant microfossils, such as palynomorphs, algae and Ostracoda, were collected from lower Cretaceous strata of Lishu depression, located in southeastern Songliao basin, and were identified and classified in order to provide relevant ...
