  • Paul Bishop and the longue durée of human–environmental relations in SE Asia

    Open AccessDan Penny, Duncan CookARTICLEScottish Geographical Journal2023

    Paul Bishop’s contribution to the earth sciences is profound. His work on large spatial and temporal scale landscape evolution is well known, but he also (and coevally) directed his attention to the complexities of human–environmental interactions, with all their site-based and short-term cultural idiosyncrasies. His focus on mainland SE Asia, and Thailand in particular, reflects a long-standing fascination in and affection for the region and its…

  • Lime Burning in Clamp Kilns in Scotland's Western Central Belt

    Paul Bishop, Carmen Cuenca-García et al.ARTICLEIndustrial Archaeology Review2017

    Lime is a fundamental component in many industrial, agricultural and chemical processes, and is itself produced by an industrial process, namely, the heating in kilns (calcining, or more colloquially ‘burning’) of calcium carbonate rock or other carbonate material. Research and literature on lime burning in Scotland, based largely on lime production in Scotland's eastern Central Belt, are dominated by the view that lime burning in draw kilns is t…

  • Radiocarbon Dating of a Speleothem Record of Paleoclimate for Angkor, Cambodia

    Open AccessQuan Hua, Duncan Cook et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2017Cited by: 6References: 54

    We report the chronological construction for the top portion of a speleothem, PC1, from southern Cambodia with the aim of reconstructing a continuous high-resolution climate record covering the fluorescence and decline of the medieval Khmer kingdom and its capital at Angkor (~9th–15th centuries AD). Earlier attempts to date PC1 by the standard U-Th method proved unsuccessful. We have therefore dated this speleothem using radiocarbon. Fifty carbon…

  • Somali Piracy and the Monsoon

    Duncan Cook, Sally GarrettARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2013

    Analysis of the weather and ocean conditions during recent pirate attacks in the Indian Ocean region suggests that the transition of the summer monsoon limits maritime piracy. A comparison of all known pirate attacks in the region in 2010–11 with surface observations from Socotra and the Somali jet index during the same period indicates that pirates attacking from skiffs are thwarted when winds blow in excess of 9 m s−1. The wind speeds and sea s…

  • The eastern Australian magnetic inclination record

    Open AccessSJ Gale, Duncan Cook et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2012Cited by: 2References: 1

    A new compilation of historical observations and archaeomagnetic measurements of magnetic inclination for the last 1000 years from eastern Australia (the eastern Australian Inclination Record [ eAIR2012]) has revealed the existence of a well-defined inclination anomaly in the region. Evidence of this magnetic feature has been preserved in sedimentary records from across eastern Australia, though this has not previously been recognised. Analyses o…

  • Human impact on the natural environment in early colonial Australia

    Open AccessJ Gale, S J GALE et al.ARTICLEArchaeology in Oceania/Archæology…2004Cited by: 7References: 17

    Little Llangothlin Lagoon on the New England Tablelands of northeast New South Wales possesses the most detailed and best verified 210Pb chronology yet available in Australia. Recent criticisms of the length of the record are shown to be based on a faulty understanding of the principles of 210Pb dating. Attempts to revise the chronology of the lower part of the dated sequence by several decades must be rejected given that (a) fundamentally dissim…
