Late Pleistocene and mid-Holocene climate change derived from a Florida speleothem
A speleothem-based mid-Holocene precipitation reconstruction for West-Central Florida
The mid-Holocene was the warmest segment of the current interglacial and possessed a weak latitudinal temperature gradient, which impacted climate teleconnections and thus precipitation variability. Our window into the mid-Holocene climate is a high-resolution (near annual) stalagmite stable isotope-based paleoprecipitation record from Brown’s Cave in West-Central Florida. The oxygen isotopic (δ 18 O) time series is tied to a uranium-series (U-se…
Late Pleistocene Human Skeleton and mtDNA Link Paleoamericans and Modern Native Americans
American Beauty Modern Native American ancestry traces back to an East Asian migration across Beringia. However, some Native American skeletons from the late Pleistocene show phenotypic characteristics more similar to other, more geographically distant, human populations. Chatters et al. (p. 750 ) describe a skeleton with a Paleoamerican phenotype from the eastern Yucatan, dating to approximately 12 to 13 thousand years ago, with a relatively com…
A speleothem record of Holocene paleoclimate from the northern Wasatch Mountains, southeast Idaho, USA
A season specific paleoclimate record from a northern Wasatch Mountains speleothem and linkages to the pacific
Development and Disintegration of Maya Political Systems in Response to Climate Change
Maya and Climate Climate has affected the vitality of many different societies in the past, as shown by numerous records across the globe and throughout human history. One of the most obvious and spectacular examples of this is from the Classic Maya civilization, whose advanced culture left highly detailed records of all aspects of their existence between 300 and 1000 C.E. Kennett et al. (p. 788 ; see the cover) present a detailed climate record …
High resolution stalagmite climate record from the Yucatán Peninsula spanning the Maya terminal classic period
Younger Dryas to mid-Holocene environmental history of the lowlands of NW Transylvania, Romania
Pollen, micro-charcoal and total carbon analyses on sediments from the Turbuta palaeolake, in the Transylvanian Basin of NW Romania, reveal Younger Dryas to mid-Holocene environmental changes. The chronostratigraphy relies on AMS 14 C measurements on organic matter and U/Th TIMS datings of snail shells. Results indicate the presence of Pinus and Betula open woodlands with small populations of Picea , Ulmus , Alnus and Salix before 12,000 cal yr B…
