Insect communities of late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

Palynological and Sequence Stratigraphy Framework of Campanian-Maastrichtian Deposit of Anambra Basin, Awgu Section, Southeast Nigeria

open access: yesJournal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management
A combination of palynological and palynofacies data are used as lithological evidence to describe sequence stratigraphic framework. Hence, the objective of this paper as to deploy the palynological and sequence stratigraphy framework of Campanian ...

Guidelines for seismic sedimentologic study in non-marine postrift basins

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2012
This study summarizes the research experiences of non-marine seismic sedimentology in recent years in China and uses Qijia area, Songliao Basin, as a template to establish general guidelines for seismic sedimentology.

New geochronological constraints on Late Pleistocene glaciation in the southern Cadí Massif, SE Pyrenees

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

Stable isotope analysis of freshwater gastropod carbonates from Swanscombe: Insights into climate stability and seasonality during MIS 11c

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stable isotope analyses of freshwater mollusc carbonate can record environmental conditions at the time of mineralisation, yet this technique remains underused in British Middle Pleistocene fluvial sequences, despite the abundance of fossil shell material in these deposits.

Responses of primary producers, anoxia, and chemical feedback to Late Glacial climate change: Insights from a paired lake approach

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldwide, lacustrine ecosystems are threatened by eutrophication and deoxygenation. Both processes are driven by the combined effects of human activities and climate change. Understanding the pre‐anthropogenic nexus between warming, eutrophication, deoxygenation, and related feedback is essential to determine how lakes respond to rapid ...

Ngarrawa (mound spring) sediments as archives of Holocene environmental change in arid central Australia: Insights from Itrax XRF scanning

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central Australia's ngarrawa, or ‘mound springs’, are unique hydrological systems that serve as some of the only near‐permanent sources of water and continuous sediment deposition in Australia's arid interior. As such, they hold significant potential as palaeo‐climate and ‐environmental archives in a region where many aspects of past climate ...

Facies architecture and sequence stratigraphy of Kungurian Amb Formation, western Salt Range, Pakistan

open access: yesKuwait Journal of Science
The Amb Formation of the Permian age is exposed in the Salt Range in the upper Indus basin of Pakistan. This rock unit is mainly composed of sandstone and shale in which three facies (named AF1, AF2, AF3) and five microfacies were distinguished based on ...

Electron probe microanalysis of extremely fine‐grained tephras: new protocols and insights for analyses at the 1 μ ${\rm{\mu }}$m scale

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volcanic ash (tephra) provides an important chronostratigraphic framework for correlating Quaternary records. In ultra‐distal ( > $\gt $1500 km) settings such as ice cores and marine sediments, deposits are typically preserved as cryptotephra composed of glass shards ≤ 20 μ $\le 20\,\mu
