Challenges in dating blanket peat and implications for understanding its initiation in Ireland
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Blanket peat is widespread in maritime extra‐tropical environments. Prehistoric land‐use activity was traditionally invoked as the stimulus of blanket peat initiation in the British Isles, but recently, climate has been viewed as the driver of peat formation.

Sequence Stratigraphy and Microfacies of the Middle Ordovician Yijianfang Formation in the Tarim Basin, NW China [PDF]
LithosphereIt is of great significance for further exploration in deep-burial carbonates to clarify the distribution of sedimentary microfacies within the high-precision sequence framework and to analyze how the sequence stratigraphy and lithologic types control ...

On building and fitting a spatio-temporal change-point model for settlement and growth at Bourewa, Fiji Islands [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 The Bourewa beach site on the Rove Peninsula of Viti Levu is the earliest known human settlement in the Fiji Islands. How did the settlement at Bourewa develop in space and time? We have radiocarbon dates on sixty specimens, found in association with evidence for human presence, taken from pits across the site.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is little information about the changes in the abundance of mammalian species in South America during the late Quaternary, which is a key parameter to understanding past ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Here, we describe a conspicuous increase in the abundance of the gray brocket deer (Subulo gouazoubira G.

Application of palynological data to the chronology of the Palaeogene lava fields of the British Province: implications for magmatic stratigraphy [PDF]
, 1997 New high-precision ages, determined from palynomorph assemblages within intercalated sedimentary deposits, are presented for the Palaeogene lava fields (Skye, Mull and Antrim) of the British Province. These data reveal very rapid averaged eruption rates (

Cryptotephra from a ~120 ka Tondano eruption in a sediment core from Lake Towuti (Indonesia)
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Southeast Asia is one of the most volcanically active regions in the world, yet their long‐term eruptive history has been comparatively little studied. In particular, little work has explored the potential of sedimentary archives to record distal cryptotephra, which may help in identifying some of the region's larger Quaternary eruptions. Here,
