Ascertaining the nature and timing of mire degradation : using palaeoecology to assist future conservation management in Northern England [PDF]
This study was initiated under contract VT0419 from English Nature (Natural England) to CECQR. In 2015, additional funding was provided by the Yorkshire Peat Partnership, for 210Pb dating, to refine age–depth estimates.

Neotectonic Subsidence Along the Cenozoic Kunlun Fault (Tibetan Plateau)
Many lake basins on the Tibetan Plateau are affected by tectonic activity. It is therefore important to consider seismotectonic influence on lake evolution when discussing climate impact on hydrology and sediment budgets.

Paleomagnetic-Geodynamic Mapping of the Transition Zone from Ocean to the Continent: A Review
The easternmost Mediterranean is a distinct transition zone from the ocean to the continent located at the junction between the largest Earth’s lithospheric segments: Eurasian and African. The methodology of paleomagnetic mapping of such transition zones

210Pb- 226Ra chronology reveals rapid growth rate of Madrepora oculata and Lophelia pertusa on world's largest cold-water coral reef [PDF]
Here we show the use of the 210Pb- 226Ra excess method to determine the growth rate of two corals from the world's largest known cold-water coral reef, Røst Reef, north of the Arctic circle off Norway.

The Magnetostratigraphy and the Age of So’a Basin Fossil-Bearing Sequence, Flores, Indonesia
DOI: 10.17014/ijog.5.3.221-234Three fossil-bearing intervals have been recognized in the Pleistocene So’a Basin, with the upper one holding important evidence of hominin fossils.

Late Miocene climate cooling and intensification of southeast Asian winter monsoon
The late Miocene period allows investigation of climate-carbon cycle dynamics on a warmer-than-modern Earth. Here, the authors show that changes in the global carbon cycle drove climate cooling, culminating in ephemeral Northern Hemisphere glaciations ...

Estimation of sedimentary proxy records together with associated uncertainty [PDF]
Sedimentary proxy records constitute a significant portion of the recorded evidence that allows us to investigate paleoclimatic conditions and variability. However, uncertainties in the dating of proxy archives limit our ability to fix the timing of past
