Holocene Environmental Archaeology of the Yangtze River Valley in China: A Review
Land, 2021 The Yangtze River Valley is an important economic region and one of the cradles of human civilization. It is also the site of frequent floods, droughts, and other natural disasters. Conducting Holocene environmental archaeology research in this region is

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020 Abstract Climate conditions and instantaneous depositional events can influence the relative contribution of sediments from terrestrial and marine environments and ultimately the quantity and composition of carbon buried in the sediment record. Here, we analyze the elemental, isotopic, and organic geochemical composition of marine sediments to identify

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 47, Issue 12, 28 June 2020., 2020 Abstract Floods and droughts in the Mississippi River basin are perennial hazards that cause severe economic disruption. Here we develop and analyze a new lipid biomarker record from Horseshoe Lake (Illinois, USA) to evaluate the climatic conditions associated with hydroclimatic extremes that occurred in this region over the last 1,800 years.

Can tree tilting be used for paleoflood discharge estimations? [PDF]
, 2014 Paleoflood hydrology typically deals with the reconstruction of floods in ungauged and poorly gauged basins by combining different sources of indirect evidence. Botanical indicators have been used repeatedly in the past, mostly through the study of scars
