Enduring impacts of El Niño on life expectancy in past and future climates
The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a major driver of global climate variability, yet its long-term effect on life expectancy remains unclear. Here we quantify how ENSO persistently impedes mortality improvement, leading to considerable life expectancy and economic losses across high-income Pacific Rim countries. We estimate life expectancy losses of 0.5 years (monetary equivalent loss of US$2.6 trillion) for the 1982–1983 El Niño and 0.4 …
Mosquito and global dengue cases in a warming world
Dengue presents a significant global health challenge, affecting 50–100 symptomatic infections every year and placing immense strain on healthcare systems in tropical and subtropical regions. However, future projections of dengue infections in a warming world remain unclear. We used the support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) models with Aedes mosquitoes and dengue records from 1960 to 2019 to comprehensively assess the e…
Holocene relative sea-level rise of the Delaware Estuary, USA
Holocene relative sea level (RSL) rise of the mid-Atlantic United States is dominated by two processes: ice-equivalent sea-level changes and Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) driven vertical land motion. Interpreting Holocene RSL processes in the Delaware Estuary is limited by the availability of RSL data: just 26% of 49 published sea-level index points (SLIPs) were older than 3000 years BP. Here, we extend the RSL history of the Delaware Estuar…
Reconstructing Late-Holocene relative sea level using mangrove sediments in Singapore
Mangrove sediments have served as valuable archives of Late-Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) change. However, challenges such as age uncertainties due to root penetration and bioturbation, as well as elevation uncertainties from surveying, indicative meaning, and sediment compaction remain. Here, we reconstructed Late-Holocene RSL from Singapore using a multi-proxy approach combining litho- (grain size and loss on ignition), bio- (pollen), and c…
Rapid mangrove sediment accretion in late-Holocene paleochannels of Singapore
The evolution of mangroves in response to sea-level rise will partially depend on the availability of accommodation space, which is influenced by the hydrodynamic setting. Here, we reconstruct mangrove evolution in a paleochannel of Sungei Jurong (i.e., Jurong River), Singapore via litho-, bio-, and chrono-stratigraphical analyses. Paleochannels are a commonly-occurring, but under-studied hydrodynamic setting in mangroves. Our results show a stra…
Social capital and community integration in post-disaster relocation settlements after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami in Indonesia
Rebuilding historic urban neighborhoods after disasters
The 2015 Nepal earthquakes devastated the Kathmandu Valley and exposed the challenges of conserving andrestoring architectural heritage in historic urban neighborhoods damaged by disasters, while also trying to rapidly rebuild houses, revitalize livelihoods, and reduce vulnerabilities to future hazards. In this paper we use quantitative and qualitative data to investigate how traditional housing was transformed during the post-earthquake reconstr…
Sea-level rise from land subsidence in major coastal cities
A 5000-year record of relative sea-level change in New Jersey, USA
Stratigraphic data from salt marshes provide accurate reconstructions of Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) change and necessary constraints to models of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), which is the dominant cause of Late-Holocene RSL rise along the U.S. mid-Atlantic coast. Here, we produce a new Mid- to Late-Holocene RSL record from a salt marsh bordering Great Bay in southern New Jersey using basal peats. We use a multi-proxy approach (foram…
Enticing” but Not Necessarily a “Space Designed for Me”
Urban parks are spaces that can enhance older adults' physical, social and psychological wellbeing. As the prevalence of older adults with disability increases, it is important that urban parks are accessible to this population so that they too might gain health benefits. There is limited literature investigating the experiences of urban parks by older adults with disability. This qualitative study, set in a region of New Zealand, explored the ex…
A new Holocene sea-level record for Singapore
Relative sea-level (RSL) records from far-field regions distal from ice sheets remain poorly understood, particularly in the early Holocene. Here, we extended the Holocene RSL data from Singapore by producing early Holocene sea-level index points (SLIPs) and limiting dates from a new ~40 m sediment core. We merged new and published RSL data to construct a standardized Singapore RSL database consisting of 88 SLIPs and limiting data. In the early H…

This is not propaganda
A pandemic, economic upheaval, mass protests throughout the world and a contentious election season in the United States should guarantee 2020 takes considerable space in the history books of the future. Depending on where you live, what you do, or (perhaps as importantly) who you follow on Twitter, your take on these events will vary wildly. Are government lockdowns a malicious attempt to cover up the construction of mind-altering 5G mobile netw…

Salt-Marsh Foraminiferal Distributions from Mainland Northern Georgia, USA
We investigated foraminiferal distributions from two salt-marsh sites at Thunderbolt and Georgetown, in mainland northern Georgia, U.S. Atlantic coast. We analyzed modern epifaunal foraminiferal assemblages across multiple transects consisting of 54 surface samples. Multivariate statistical analysis (Partitioning Around Medoids and Detrended Correspondence Analysis) revealed that dead foraminiferal assemblages are divided into three faunal zones,…
Identifying the Greatest Earthquakes of the Past 2000 Years at the Nehalem River Estuary, Northern Oregon Coast, USA
We infer a history of three great megathrust earthquakes during the past 2000 years at the Nehalem River estuary based on the lateral extent of sharp (≤3 mm) peat-mud stratigraphic contacts in cores and outcrops, coseismic subsidence as interpreted from fossil diatom assemblages and reconstructed with foraminiferal assemblages using a Bayesian transfer function, and regional correlation of 14C-modeled ages for the times of subsidence. A subsidenc…

Testing the Utility of Geochemical Proxies to Reconstruct Holocene Coastal Environments and Relative Sea Level
On low-lying, tropical and sub-tropical coastlines freshwater marshes may be replaced by salt-tolerant \nmangroves in response to relative sea-level rise. Pollen analysis of radiocarbon-dated sediment cores \nshowed that such a change occurred in Hungry Bay, Bermuda during the late Holocene. This well-established paleoenvironmental trajectory provides an opportunity to explore if geochemical proxies (bulk-sediment δ13C and Rock-Eval pyrolysis) ca…
Holocene relative sea-level records from coral microatolls in Western Borneo, South China Sea
The spatial variability of Holocene relative sea level (RSL) in the South China Sea is unknown, with data restricted to Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, and a few other isolated sites. In this study, we present new continuous RSL records for Borneo using surveyed and U–Th dated coral microatolls from four sites in western Sarawak. The record spans 450 years of RSL from 7450 to 7000 yr BP. Our data suggest that RSL was higher than present and rapid …
A 600-year-long stratigraphic record of tsunamis in south-central Chile
The stratigraphy within coastal river valleys in south-central Chile clarifies and extends the region’s history of large, earthquakes and accompanying tsunamis. Our site at Quidico (38.1°S, 73.3°W) is located in an overlap zone between ruptures of magnitude 8–9 earthquakes in 1960 and 2010, and, therefore, records tsunamis originating from subduction-zone ruptures north and south of the city of Concepción. Hand-dug pits and cores in a 3-m-thick s…
Quantifying the Contribution of Sediment Compaction to late Holocene Salt-Marsh Sea-Level Reconstructions, North Carolina, USA
Salt-marsh sediments provide accurate and precise reconstructions of late Holocene relative sea-level changes. However, compaction of salt-marsh stratigraphies can cause post-depositional lowering (PDL) of the samples used to reconstruct sea level, creating an estimation of former sea level that is too low and a rate of rise that is too great. We estimated the contribution of compaction to late Holocene sea-level trends reconstructed at Tump Poin…
The Influence of Enhanced Post-Glacial Coastal Margin Productivity on the Emergence of Complex Societies
We analyze the dynamics of post-glacial coastal margin (CM) productivity and explore how it affected the emergence of six complex CM societies. Following deglaciation, global relative sea level stabilized after ∼7000 BP and CM productivity significantly increased in many areas. Primary and secondary productivity (fish) likely increased by an order of magnitude or more. Aquatic animals were readily available in the CM providing sources of polyunsa…
Rapid Holocene coastal change revealed by high-resolution micropaleontological analysis, Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA
Foraminiferal analyses of 404 contiguous samples, supported by diatom, lithologic, geochronologic and seismic data, reveal both rapid and gradual Holocene paleoenvironmental changes in an 8.21-m vibracore taken from southern Pamlico Sound, North Carolina. Data record initial flooding of a latest Pleistocene river drainage and the formation of an estuary 9000 yr ago. Estuarine conditions were punctuated by two intervals of marine influence from ap…
The application of foraminifera to reconstruct the rate of 20th century sea level rise, Morbihan Golfe, Brittany, France
Foraminiferal assemblages preserved within salt-marsh sediment can provide an accurate and precise means to reconstruct relative sea level due to a strong relationship with elevation, which can be quantified using a transfer function. We collected a set of surface samples from two salt marshes in the Morbihan Golfe, France to determine foraminiferal distribution patterns. Dominant taxa included Jadammina macrescens , Trochammina inflata , Haploph…
Holocene sea levels and palaeoenvironments, Malay-Thai Peninsula, southeast Asia
Sedimentological and palynological investigations of Great Songkhla Lakes, east coast of the Malay-Thai Peninsula, Southeast Asia, reveal sedimentary sequences rich in palynomorph assemblages dominated by pollen of mangroves and freshwater swamps. Compared with other regions in Southeast Asia the assemblages are of relatively low diversity. Geochronological data indicate that the Great Songkhla Lakes record one of the earliest mangrove environmen…

The application of local and regional transfer functions to the reconstruction of Holocene sea levels, north Norfolk, England
Foraminiferal assemblages from Thornham and Brancaster marshes (Norfolk, UK) illustrate statistically significant relationship with elevation with respect to the tidal frame. We develop local (data from Thornham and Brancaster marshes) and regional (data from Thornham and Brancaster marshes combined with those from 11 other sites around the UK) predictive foraminifera-based transfer functions to reconstruct former sea levels from a Holocene sedim…
Holocene tidal levels and sedimentation rates using a diatom-based palaeoenvironmental reconstruction
An established diatom-based tidal level transfer function is used in combination with the present day relationship between sedimentation rate and altitude to reconstruct Holocene tidal sediment accretion for the Tees estuary, northeastern England. The results from five cores reveal two periods of enhanced sedimen tation, the earlier of which (8000–6000 cal. BP) is related to relatively rapid sea-level rise and increasing tidal range. The later ph…

Stable carbon isotopes as potential sea-level indicators in salt marshes, North Carolina, USA
We compared the use of δ 13 C values and C:N ratios from salt-marsh sediments to reconstruct relative sea level (RSL) with an established approach using foraminifera. Analysis of bulk-organic sediment and plant samples collected along transects at two sites in North Carolina, USA demonstrates that sediment δ 13 C values can be used to distinguish between Spartina alterniflora-dominated low marsh (C photosynthetic pathway, δ 13 C values from —17.6…

Holocene land‐ and sea‐level changes in Great Britain
Analysis of more than 1200 radiocarbon dated samples that constrain relative sea‐levels in Great Britain over the past 16 000 yr provides estimates of current land‐level changes (negative of relative sea‐level change). Maximum relative land uplift occurs in central and western Scotland, ca. 1.6 mm yr −1 , and maximum subsidence is in southwest England, ca. 1.2 mm yr −1 . Sediment consolidation, arising from autocompaction as the sediment accumula…

Environmental and socioeconomic dynamics of the Indian Ocean tsunami in Penang, Malaysia
This paper addresses some of the environmental and socioeconomic dimensions of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami on Penang, Malaysia. We aim to offer wide access to unique and perishable data, while at the same time providing insight to ongoing debates about hazards, vulnerability and social capital. Our social survey examines some of the dynamics that shaped the tsunami impact, response and recovery process. While in terms of lives lost Penang may n…
The relative utility of foraminifera and diatoms for reconstructing late Holocene sea-level change in North Carolina, USA
Foraminifera and diatoms preserved in salt-marsh sediments have been used to produce high-resolution records of Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) change. To determine which of these microfossil groups is most appropriate for this purpose we investigated their relative utility from salt marshes in North Carolina, USA. Regional-scale transfer functions were developed using foraminifera, diatoms and a combination of both (multi-proxy) from three sal…
