History of Mid- and Late Holocene Palaeofloods in the Yangtze Coastal Lowlands, East China
The surface of the lowland deltaic plain around Taihu (Lake Tai), south of the Yangtze river mouth in eastern China, lies near sea level and until recent drainage and development by human societies was mostly covered by wetlands of various types. It was created by regular overbank flooding, mainly from the Yangtze, and the deposition of mostly mineral sediments over the several millennia since sea level regained its current altitude in the early …
A review of microplastics in sediments
Summer monsoon–induced upwelling dominated coastal sea surface temperature variations in the northern South China Sea over the last two millennia
The South China Sea (SCS), situated to the north of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP), is under the strong influence of the Asian monsoon system. However, coastal sea surface temperature (SST) records from the SCS, which are of vital importance to exploring ocean-atmosphere-land interactions behind the Asian monsoon system, remain scarce. Here, we use a sediment core collected at the coast of northern SCS to investigate alkenone-SST variations ov…
Ecology and hydrology of early rice farming
The well-preserved Maoshan paddy fields (4700-4300 bp) were built on an intermediate landscape between the foothills and alluvial plain of the Lower Yangtze River. Despite several interdisciplinary research, there has been a lack of detailed environmental and ecological data to contextualise the reconstructed rice farming practices within a wider paleo-environmental background. Our research provides key information on the chronology, vegetation, …
The environmental conditions of MIS5 in the northern South China Sea, revealed by n-alkanes indices and alkenones from a 39 m-long sediment sequence
Marine deposition and sea surface temperature changes during the last and present interglacials in the west coast of Taiwan Strait
Holocene temperature and precipitation variability on the central Tibetan Plateau revealed by multiple palaeo-climatic proxy records from an alpine wetland sequence
This study has reconstructed the Holocene environmental history of central Tibetan Plateau, a transitional area between monsoon-dominated Asia and Westerlies-dominated Asia, to examine the interplay between the two circulation systems and effects of other potential mechanisms on the temporal variability of Holocene climatic conditions in the study area. Specifically, this study has produced a twin record of palaeo-hydrology and palaeo-temperature…
An examination of the fidelity of n-alkanes as a palaeoclimate proxy from sediments of Palaeolake Tianyang, South China
A stable mid-late Holocene monsoon climate of the central Tibetan Plateau indicated by a pollen record
The development of late Holocene coastal cooling in the northern South China Sea
Shrinking lakes in Tibet linked to the weakening Asian monsoon in the past 8.2 ka
Expansion or shrinkage of closed lakes is a natural response to fluctuations in precipitation and evaporation, linked closely to changes in strength or position of atmospheric circulation. In Tibet, there are many such lakes with paleo-shorelines that can be used for reconstructions of climate history. Despite the fact that many paleo-shorelines are well preserved in Tibet, dating them has been seriously hindered by various difficulties. Here we …
Evidence for coastal evolution during the early Holocene from the Pearl River delta, China
Modern pollen assemblages from cultivated rice fields and rice pollen morphology
Pollen from a series of surface soil samples collected along a transect spanning southeast China was investigated to better understand palynological signals of ancient agriculture and other human activity. The transect surface samples consist of pairs taken inside and outside rice paddy fields. Pollen assemblages from these samples are valuable as modern analogs of human-altered environments and rice agriculture. Our measurements of Poaceae polle…
Multidisciplinary studies in environmental archaeology with particular reference to China
An important focus in research over the past decade is the relationship between climatic/environmental change and human cultural evolution during the Holocene. This decade saw an increasing number of natural scientists involved in this research, which led to debates and collaborations between natural scientists and archaeologists/anthropologists. This decade also witnessed an increase in multidisciplinary research across these subjects, which has…
Mid-Holocene coastal hydrology and salinity changes in the east Taihu area of the lower Yangtze wetlands, China
During the mid-Holocene the eastern Taihu area, on China's Yangtze delta plain, was populated by advanced late Neolithic cultures supported by intensive domesticated rice cultivation. This agricultural system collapsed around 4200 cal yr BP, with severe population decline, the end of the Liangzhu culture, and about half a millennium of very low-scale human activity in the area before the re-establishment of agricultural production. Microfossil an…
Mid-Holocene variability of the East Asian monsoon based on bulk organic δ 13 C and C/N records from the Pearl River estuary, southern China
Understanding the mid-Holocene dynamics of the East Asian monsoon (EAM) is integral to improving models of the Holocene development of the global climate system. Here we reconstruct the mid-Holocene EAM history from the Pearl River estuary, southern China, using bulk organic carbon isotopes (δ 13 C), total carbon to total nitrogen (C/N) ratios and total organic carbon (TOC) concentration. Sedimentary δ 13 C, C/N and TOC are potentially good indic…
Migration patterns of Neolithic settlements on the abandoned Yellow and Yangtze River deltas of China
Archaeological records of the Neolithic settlements on the eastern China coast between 35°N and 30°N, an area covering the abandoned Yellow River and the Yangtze River delta plains, reveal that Neolithic people moved from the Yellow River basin onto the northern coast for fishing, hunting and dry-land agriculture ~ 7000 yr ago. Marine transgression interrupted their activities on the low-lying (2–5 m in elevation) coastal wetlands between 6000 an…
Mid-Holocene sea-level highstand along the Southeast Coast of China
Microfossil analysis of sediments representing the 1964 earthquake, exposed at Girdwood Flats, Alaska, USA
Evidence of mid-Holocene storm-surge deposits from Morecambe Bay, northwest England
Typhoon Hazards in the Shanghai Area
There are three major typhoon hazards that apply to the Shanghai area. First, gale-force winds can damage buildings and service facilities. The most severe damage from this occurs only when a typhoon strikes Shanghai directly. Second, both the urban and rural sections of Shanghai are liable to flooding during typhoon seasons. These floods occur when typhoon-induced storm surges coincide with high spring tides and meet with high discharges from th…
Diatom records and sedimentary responses to sea-level change during the last 8000 years in Roudsea Wood, northwest England
Diatom biostratigraphies are recorded in close stratigraphical intervals from two sites in Roudsea Wood, northwest England. These diatom sequences are used to reconstruct sediment surface elevation which is then compared with the mid and late-Holocene sea-level history of the region. Four new sea-level index points are added to the sea-level data base for the region and the sea-level history is subjectively divided into three time periods for dis…
Mid- and late-Holocene sea-level changes in Roudsea Marsh, northwest England
Diatoms, vascular vegetation, sediment data and water salinity from contemporary intertidal environ ments in Roudsea Marsh, northwest England, are used to define altitudinal relationships between diatom assem blages and reference water levels. Comparison of these data with the high-resolution diatom biostratigraphy of a fossil marsh sequence allows identification of fluctuations of relative sea level in the mid- and late Holo cene. Two oscillatio…
