A multi‐proxy record of climate variability during the Loch Lomond Stadial (GS‐1) at Old Buckenham Mere, East England, UK

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Northwest Europe experienced high‐amplitude climate change at the onset and end of the Younger Dryas (YD; ca 12 800–11 600 cal a BP), a crucial period to develop our understanding of natural climate dynamics. European palaeoclimatological records generally suggest a bipartite structure of the YD, potentially due to a northward retreat of the ...

Early taphonomy of benthic foraminifera in Storfjorden ‘sea‐ice factory’: the agglutinated/calcareous ratio as a proxy for brine persistence

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 109-123, January 2023., 2023
The recurrent latent‐heat polynya characterizing Storfjorden (Svalbard, Norway) triggers seasonal formation of thin first‐year sea ice. This leads to the production of dense, salty, and corrosive brines that cascade towards the sea floor and mix with shelf waters. The bottom topography of the fjord is responsible for the retention of these dense waters

Stratigraphic and geotechnical characterization of regionally extensive and highly competent shallow sand units in the southern North Sea

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 78-98, January 2023., 2023
A detailed stratigraphic and geotechnical investigation of the uppermost 50 m below the sea floor was carried out for parts of the German North Sea sector using combined information from shallow seismic reflection surveys, 50‐m‐long sediment cores and cone penetration tests covering an area of ~150 km2.

Ages on weathered Plio-Pleistocene tephra sequences, western North Island, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Using the zircon fission-track method, we have obtained five ages on members of two strongly-weathered silicic, Pliocene-Pleistocene tephra sequences, the Kauroa and Hamilton Ash formations, in western North Island, New Zealand.

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

An Early Pleistocene interglacial deposit at Pingorsuit, North‐West Greenland

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 27-41, January 2023., 2023
At the Pingorsuit Glacier in North‐West Greenland, an organic‐rich deposit that had recently emerged from the retreating ice cap was discovered at an elevation of 480 m above sea level. This paper reports on macrofossil analyses of a coarse detritus gyttja and peaty soil, which occurred beneath a thin cover of till and glacifluvial deposits.
