New constraints on the postglacial evolution of Lago Maggiore, Northern Italy

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lago Maggiore is situated in an overdeepened valley reach at the southern margin of the European Alps, and its thick sediment infill allows the reconstruction of the postglacial valley and lake evolution. We study here the sedimentary succession in the lower Ossola Valley, which is infilled by ~500 m of deposits. In a marginal position, a core

Assessing the subglacial lake coverage of Antarctica

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
Lakes beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet are known to decrease traction at the ice base and therefore can have a great impact on ice dynamics. However, the total extent of Antarctic subglacial lakes is still unknown.

Climate‐modulated accumulation and erosion of sediments in the Rodderberg crater basin for the last 439 ka (East Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial/interglacial climate cycles since marine isotope stage (MIS) 12 influenced the discontinuous and 73 m‐long sediment record from the volcanic crater of Rodderberg in the East Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany. High‐resolution grain size and geochemical data have been valued by numerical dating techniques (radiocarbon and luminescence dating,

Forest or tundra? How different vegetation reconstructions of Last Glacial landscapes in Europe may shape our perception of early human dispersal processes

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional variability and long‐term changes of past ecosystems likely had a strong impact on hunter–gatherer population dynamics, including the expansion of anatomically modern humans and the disappearance of Neanderthals. However, our understanding of these ecosystems remains limited, even when looking at large‐scale patterns, such as the ...

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

Boreas, 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.

Resolving radiostratigraphy with squinted synthetic aperture radar focusing

Journal of Glaciology
Englacial layers are a product of historic accumulation and are reshaped by ice deformation. Hence, radio-echo sounding (RES), which can resolve englacial layering, has been adopted as an observational tool to infer ice age and ice dynamics from ice ...

Radar evidence of ponded subglacial water in Greenland

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
The thermal state at the bed of a large ice sheet is a critical boundary condition governing its future evolution. Radar surveys provide an opportunity for direct but remote observation of the ice-sheet bed, and therefore offer a means of constraining ...

Geochemical and granulometric fingerprints of 8200 years of westerly wind variability in inner‐fjord lake sediments from Svalbard

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth. As sea ice diminishes, the surface boundary conditions, such as roughness and air–sea coupling, change and open‐water fetch increases. This may enhance wind forcing on Arctic coasts. Lake sediments can record these changes through the deposition of wind‐blown grains and elements, offering ...
