  • Holocene paleoenvironmental reconstructions in western Brittany (Bay of Brest)

    Open AccessClara Valero, Aurélie Penaud et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2025References: 71

    The Bay of Brest (BB, NW France) is a semi-enclosed basin of 180 km2 subject to macro-tidal dynamics and to the fluvial influences of the rivers Aulne and Elorn, which combined drain watersheds of 2600 km2. This coastal environment is subject to natural climate oscillations overlaid on the long-term landscape transformations inherited from the post-glacial sea level rise and increasing anthropogenic forcing since the Neolithic (6.9 ka BP), and es…

  • Holocene paleoenvironmental reconstructions in western Brittany Bay of Brest

    Open AccessClara Valero, Aurélie Penaud et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2025Cited by: 1References: 43

    The Bay of Brest (BB) is a shallow estuarine environment in NW France. This semi-enclosed basin of 180 km2 is subject to multiple hydrodynamic factors including the dual influence of oceanic currents and fluvial discharges (Aulne and Elorn main rivers) and resulting in complex hydro-climatic and hydro-sedimentary processes. This study investigates with palynological data (continental: pollen grains and marine: dinoflagellate cysts) two kinds of d…

  • Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions during the Meso- to Neolithic transition (9.2–5.3 cal. ka BP) in Northwestern France

    Open AccessClément Lambert, Muriel Vidal et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018

    Sedimentological, palynological, and micropalaeontological studies carried out throughout the first half of the Holocene, during the Mesolithic/Neolithic transition in the Bay of Brest (i.e. 9200–9000 and 6600–5300 cal. BP) and in the Bay of Douarnenez (i.e. 9200–8400 cal. BP), allowed characterizing coastal environmental changes under the increasing influence of the relative sea-level rise. The gradual flooding of the two studied sites implied a…

  • Millennial-scale Holocene hydrological changes in the northeast Atlantic

    Open AccessMeryem Mojtahid, Matthieu Durand et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018References: 10

    A mid- to late-Holocene paleohydrological reconstruction from the northeast Atlantic is proposed through the study of a high-resolution sedimentary record from the northern continental shelf of the Bay of Biscay (BoB). Three foraminiferal species dominate the assemblages with Rosalina globularis showing an overall decrease in absolute and relative abundances from ~7 to 0.4 cal. ka BP, whereas the opposite trend is observed for Cibicides refulgens…

  • Coastal palaeoenvironmental record of the last 7 kyr BP in NW France

    Open AccessAssia Fernane, Emmanuel Gandouin et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014Cited by: 2References: 19

    To date, Holocene palaeoecological signatures on the Northwestern coast of France have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, environmental changes related to both climate processes and human disturbances were reconstructed over the last 7000 cal. yr BP, based on pollen and chironomid assemblages from four coastal cores retrieved in Western Brittany (Porsmilin beach, NW France). Pollen and chironomid records show an environmental respon…

  • Middle- to late-Holocene storminess in Brittany (NW France)

    Open AccessBrigitte Van Vliet-Lanoë, Brigitte Van Vliet‐Lanoë et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014Cited by: 5References: 11

    This study focuses on the recurring climate conditions required for the largest storms occurring in NW France (Brittany). It is based on the analysed records of storm events along Western Brittany coast (see Part I). In this manuscript (Part II), storm recurrence is explored along with forcing mechanisms. Periods of more frequent storm events over the two last centuries are analysed first in order to link these events with possible forcing mechan…

  • Middle- to late-Holocene storminess in Brittany (NW France)

    Open AccessBrigitte Van Vliet-Lanoë, Brigitte Van Vliet‐Lanoë et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014Cited by: 3References: 10

    Our study aims to understand the recurring climatic conditions prevailing during the largest storms reaching NW France (Brittany). These storms are responsible for the breaching of coastal barriers and major flooding of lowlands. In a first part of our work, we examine the morphological impact and stratigraphic record of storm events along Western Brittany rocky coasts, with a special focus on the southern coast of the Bay of Audierne, the most e…
