Bayesian Palaeoclimate Reconstruction [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A: Statistics in Society, 2006
SummaryWe consider the problem of reconstructing prehistoric climates by using fossil data that have been extracted from lake sediment cores. Such reconstructions promise to provide one of the few ways to validate modern models of climate change. A hierarchical Bayesian modelling approach is presented and its use, inversely, is demonstrated in a ...

Tectono‐Sedimentary Evolution of the Neogene İnegöl Basin (NW Anatolia): Constraints on Transtensional Basin Development at the Junction of the Western Anatolian Extensional Province and the North Anatolian Fault Zone

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...

Orbital and eustatic control of basin hydrology during the first stage of the Messinian Salinity Crisis

The Depositional Record
Gypsum and marls from the 15 cycles of the Messinian Yesares Member in the Sorbas Basin, SE Spain, were analysed using a multi‐isotope approach to reconstruct palaeo‐hydrological conditions of the basin and the wider Mediterranean region during the ...

Terminalioxylon edwardsii from the Oligocene of Egypt, with a review of the genus in Africa [PDF]

Taeckholmia, 2014
petrified wood resembling modern wood of Terminalia(Combretaceae) is described from the Oligocene of the CairoPetrified Forest, Egypt. On the bases of xylotomicalhomologies, the fossil wood is attributed to Terminalioxylonedwardsii. A summary is given on

Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

Controls of palaeoclimate condition on facies characteristics and diagenetic processes in the Cenomanian–Turonian sequences (upper Sarvak Formation) in the Abadan Plain, SW Iran [PDF]

Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches
The Sarvak Formation, a crucial reservoir rock in the Abadan Plain, is extensively studied due to its sedimentary attributes and diagenetic evolution, heavily influenced by tectonic activities and palaeoclimatic conditions.

Making palaeoclimatology research policy‐relevant: Insights and experience from the DECADAL Project

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quaternary palaeoclimatology uniquely provides insights and new evidence about climate variability trends and extremes prior to the instrumental record; yet, its knowledge is rarely integrated into governmental decision‐making. This opinion piece shares lessons and experience from the UKRI‐funded DECADAL project, which bridges palaeoclimate ...

Cave monitoring and the potential for palaeoclimate reconstruction from Cueva de Asiul, Cantabria (N. Spain)

International Journal of Speleology, 2016
Palaeoclimate records from northern Iberia are becoming increasingly sought after as this region is one of the most southerly terrestrial locations in Europe to have its climate dictated principally by the North Atlantic.

Clay hydroxyl isotopes show an enhanced hydrologic cycle during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum

Nature Communications, 2022
Novel measurements of clay hydroxyl isotopic composition show an enhanced hydrological cycle during a period of intense global warming at the Paleocene-Eocene boundary 55.9 million years ago.

Bat community assembly in the ecotone of two neotropical biodiversity hotspots is determined by environmental filtering rather than historical factors

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that environmental filtering is the primary mechanism shaping bat communities across the Cerrado–Atlantic Forest ecotone. By integrating phylogenetic diversity, environmental gradients, and coevolutionary assembly models, our study provides new insights into the processes maintaining biodiversity in a globally important transition zone ...
