Critical constraints to ecological buffering in a rapidly changing Arctic: A long‐term seabird study

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Drawing on two decades of research in East Greenland, this study shows that little auks, key seabird indicators of Arctic ecosystem health, can adapt to rapid environmental change through behavioural flexibility. However, increasing storms and mercury pollution are pushing resilience to its limits, providing an early warning of broader Arctic ...

MULTI-SCALE LANDSCAPE MAPPING OF THE TYUMEN REGION AS A GEOINFORMATION BASE FOR ORGANIZATION OF LANDSCAPE PLANNING, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND REGIONAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

open access: yesInterCarto. InterGIS, 2016
Landscape analysis is considered with the following items: 1) a synthetic layer integral physiographic information about the natural environment; 2) an information basis for mapping and evaluation components of landscapes; 3) a basis for the assessment ...

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

InSAR-derived seasonal subsidence reflects spatial soil moisture patterns in Arctic lowland permafrost regions [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
The identification of spatial soil moisture patterns is of high importance for various applications in high-latitude permafrost regions but challenging with common remote sensing approaches due to high landscape heterogeneity.

A bifacial paradise—The site of Ochtmissen, Germany, and its lithic assemblage in the context of the last glacial (early MIS 4) in the north‐central European Lowland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The Palaeolithic site of Ochtmissen (Lower Saxony, Germany) was excavated in fluvial terrace deposits during the winter of 1993/1994. The current study presents, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the lithic assemblage, encompassing its primary technological and typological characteristics, as well as the type and age of the fluvial deposits ...

Environmental dynamics and timing of the late Eemian interglacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial at Lichtenberg, Germany: implications for the Oerel and Glinde interstadials

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The terrestrial sediment archives of northern Germany provide important insights into Late Pleistocene climate variability, but continuous and well‐dated records remain rare. In particular, the age and stratigraphic position of the Oerel and Glinde interstadials within the Early Weichselian to pleniglacial transition remain poorly constrained.

Elevation‐Dependent Permafrost Thaw on the Tibetan Plateau Delays Seasonal Discharge and Poses a Risk of Reduction in Downstream Water Availability

open access: yesEarth's Future
Global warming and permafrost thaw have significantly altered landscapes and hydrological conditions in permafrost regions. While site‐specific process studies have described hydrological changes during thawing, basin‐scale impact assessments and ...

Permafrost thaw induced drying of wetlands at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
Northwestern Canada is one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth. The scale and rapidity of recently observed warming-induced changes throughout this region indicate that it is particularly sensitive to climate warming and capable of rapid ...
