The timing of the deglaciation in the Atlantic Iberian mountains: Insights from the stratigraphic analysis of a lake sequence in Serra da Estrela (Portugal)

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 233-242, February 2023., 2023
We present a unique Late Glacial and Holocene chronostratigraphic record including detailed sediment analysis from a pro‐glacial lake in the Serra da Estrela (Portugal). Sediments are composed of massive and/or water‐current coarse fluvioglacial lacustrine deposits and laminated/banded and massive muddy lacustrine deposits.

When Eastern India Oscillated Between Desert Versus Savannah‐Dominated Vegetation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 49, Issue 16, 28 August 2022., 2022
Abstract During the last glacial period, the tropical hydrological cycle exhibited large variability across orbital and millennial timescales. However, the response of the Indian summer monsoon (ISM), its related impact on terrestrial ecosystems, and associated forcing mechanisms remain controversial.

Priority conservation areas for Cedrus atlantica in the Atlas Mountains, Morocco

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Assessing biodiversity loss and species extinction is necessary to warn society and raise awareness of the impacts of ongoing climate change. Prioritizing protected areas is the pragmatic and applicable management measure under the pressure of ongoing climate change and limited resources to conserve species at risk of extinction.

The Oyambre coastal terrace: a detailed sedimentary record of the Last Interglacial Stage in northern Iberia (Cantabrian coast, Spain)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 570-585, May 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT A detailed study is presented of a 15.3‐m‐thick Pleistocene coastal terrace located on the Cantabrian coast (northern Spain). Stratigraphic, sedimentological, topographic and micropalaeontological information is combined with a chronology based on luminescence dating to characterize the deposits. The sedimentary succession records: (i) a basal

Asymmetric response of forest and grassy biomes to climate variability across the African Humid Period: influenced by anthropogenic disturbance?

open access: yesEcography, Volume 43, Issue 8, Page 1118-1142, August 2020., 2020
A comprehensive understanding of the relationship between land cover, climate change and disturbance dynamics is needed to inform scenarios of vegetation change on the African continent. Although significant advances have been made, large uncertainties exist in projections of future biodiversity and ecosystem change for the world's largest tropical ...

Reconstructing the climatic niche breadth of land use for animal production during the African Holocene

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 127-147, January 2020., 2020
Abstract Aim Domestic animals first appeared in the archaeological record in northern Africa c. 9000 years before present and subsequently spread southwards throughout the continent. This geographic expansion is well studied and can broadly be explained in terms of the movement of pastoralist populations due to climate change.

Improvements in Pain Outcomes in a Canadian Pediatric Teaching Hospital Following Implementation of a Multifaceted, Knowledge Translation Initiative

open access: yesPain Research and Management, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 173-179, 2012., 2012
BACKGROUND: A previous audit performed at a tertiary/quaternary pediatric hospital in Toronto, Ontario, demonstrated suboptimal assessment and treatment of children’s pain. Knowledge translation (KT) initiatives (education, reminders, audit and feedback) were implemented to address identified care gaps; however, the impact is unknown.
