Integration of proxies in human–environmental systems: paleoecology, paleoclimatology, and archaeology

, 2023
Co-developing paleoscience research questions is associated with effective collaboration challenges. We discuss a framework that brings together past socio–environmental processes and proxies to foster future interdisciplinary collaborations.- Quaternary

Paleoenvironmental humanities: Challenges and prospects of writing deep environmental histories

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 11, Issue 5, September/October 2020., 2020
The palaeoenvironmental humanities in a nutshell. Human deep history in articulation with patterns and processes of climatic, environmental and ecological change. Abstract Environmental uncertainty, climate change, and ecological crisis loom large in the present and permeate scenarios of potential futures.

Do dental nonmetric traits actually work as proxies for neutral genomic data? Some answers from continental‐ and global‐level analyses

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Volume 172, Issue 3, Page 347-375, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Objectives Crown and root traits, like those in the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS), are seemingly useful as genetic proxies. However, recent studies report mixed results concerning their heritability, and ability to assess variation to the level of genomic data.

Coevolution of climate, demography and food systems in North and South America [PDF]

, 2017
One of the less well-understood problems in paleoscience is the role of climate as a modulator of long-term changes in human demography, and, in turn, how changes in human demography influence climate because demography also determines how individuals ...

Communicating the relevance of paleo research in the current societal environment [PDF]

, 2017
It is not an easy task for paleoscientists to communicate the relevance of their research to policy makers and funders. However, an increase in catastrophic environmental calamities related to climate change (e.g. landslide, droughts, flooding) demands a

Orbital Forcing Drives Both the South American Monsoon and Local Water Balance in the Central Andes During Interglacials

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.
Abstract South American summer monsoon (SASM) strength tracks insolation on orbital timescales, linking global climate and continental hydrology. However, whether local water availability also responds to global climate forcings is unclear. Here, we present water balance records from Lake Junín, an Andean lake within the SASM domain.

Holocene Temperature and Water Stress in the Peruvian Andes: Insights From Lake Carbonate Clumped and Triple Oxygen Isotopes

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 39, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Global climate during the Holocene was relatively stable compared to the late Pleistocene. However, evidence from lacustrine records in South America suggests that tropical latitudes experienced significant water balance variability during the Holocene, rather than quiescence. For example, a tight coupling between insolation and carbonate δ18O
