  • Climate and land-cover controls of aquatic carbon dynamics since the last glacial maximum

    Open AccessQian Wang, N John Anderson et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2024References: 1

  • Monitoring and moderating extreme indoor temperatures in low-income urban communities

    Open AccessR L Wilby, Raymond Abudu Kasei et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Climate change presents significant threats to human health, especially for low-income urban communities in the Global South. Despite numerous studies of heat stress, surprisingly little is known about the temperatures actually encountered by people in their homes, or the benefits of affordable adaptations. This paper examines indoor air temperature measurements gathered from 47 living rooms within eight low-income communities of Accra and Tamale…

  • Arctic climate shifts drive rapid ecosystem responses across the West Greenland landscape

    Open AccessJasmine E Saros, N John Anderson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Prediction of high latitude response to climate change is hampered by poor understanding of the role of nonlinear changes in ecosystem forcing and response. While the effects of nonlinear climate change are often delayed or dampened by internal ecosystem dynamics, recent warming events in the Arctic have driven rapid environmental response, raising questions of how terrestrial and freshwater systems in this region may shift in response to abrupt …

  • Direct versus indirect climate controls on Holocene diatom assemblages in a sub-tropical deep, alpine lake (Lugu Hu, Yunnan, SW China)

    Open AccessQian Wang, Xiangdong Yang et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2016

    The reconstruction of Holocene environmental changes in lakes on the plateau region of southwest China provides an understanding of how these ecosystems may respond to climate change. Fossil diatom assemblages were investigated from an 11,000-year lake sediment core from a deep, alpine lake (Lugu Hu) in southwest China, an area strongly influenced by the southwest (or the Indian) summer monsoon. Changes in diatom assemblage composition, notably t…

  • Climate and tectonic effects on Holocene development of an alpine lake (Muge Co, SE margin of Tibet)

    Open AccessZhujun Hu, N John Anderson et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2015References: 10

    South-west China is an important area for determining variability of the SW Asian Monsoon; it is, however, also tectonically very active. Palaeolimnological studies in this region generally focus on climate as a direct driver of ecological change, rarely considering the effects of tectonic activity and catchment ontogeny. We present diatom and organic matter data from a Holocene sediment record from Muge Co, an alpine lake located on an active fa…

  • Variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation over the past 5,200 years

  • Long-term ecosystem dynamics of a small lake and its catchment in west Greenland

    Open AccessMarianne Presthus Heggen, Hilary H Birks et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2010Cited by: 1References: 10

    We investigated the interplay between climate and the Holocene ecological development of a small low-Arctic lake and its catchment. The remains of terrestrial and aquatic oribatid mites, plant macrofossils, and other invertebrates in a sediment core from Lake SS16 in west Greenland revealed its palaeoecological history over the last 6950 years. Betula nana immigrated into Dryas fell-field and open grassland around 6600 cal. yr BP and then expande…

  • Mid- to late-Holocene land-use change and lake development at Dallund Sø, Denmark

    Open AccessEmily G Bradshaw, Peter Rasmussen et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2005Cited by: 4References: 4

    Diatom, macrofossil, pollen, Pediastrum and biogenic silica analyses were carried out on an 11-m sediment sequence from the Danish lake Dallund Sø, demonstrating major changes in the aquatic ecosystem over the last 7000 years. A diatom-phosphorus calibration model was applied to the fossil diatom record to reconstruct in-lake total phosphorus (TP) concentrations over this period. Prior to the introduction of agriculture to the region, c. 6000 yea…

  • Holocene thermal maximum in the western Arctic (0–180°W)

    Open AccessD S Kaufman, Thomas A Ager et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Science Reviews2004

  • Holocene records of effective precipitation in West Greenland

    Open AccessSuzanne Mc Gowan, David B Ryves et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2003Cited by: 6References: 6

    Holocene changes in effective precipitation (precipitation-evaporation; P-E) were reconstructed for the Søndre Strømfjord region of southwest Greenland using the sediment records of two neighbouring closed-basin ‘saline’ lakes. Past lakewater conductivities (a proxy for P-E balance) were estimated using a diatom-inferred conductivity model. Broadly similar changes in both lake records corroborate the use of DI conductivity as a regional climate p…

  • Isotopic variation in modern lake waters from western Greenland

    Open AccessMelanie J Leng, N John AndersonARTICLEThe Holocene2003Cited by: 2References: 1

    The stable-isotope composition of lake waters along Sïndre Strïmfjord in western Greenland have been measured both spatially (coast to ice sheet) and temporally (up to five times between 1998–2000) and the data compared to local climatic information. There is a climatic gradient along Sïndre Strïmfjord, with the head of the fjord characterised by a low Arctic continental climate, while the coast has a more maritime climate (increased precipitatio…

  • A palaeolimnological test of the influence of Norway spruce (Picea abies) immigration on lake-water acidity

    Open AccessTom Korsman, Ingemar Renberg et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene1994Cited by: 1References: 2

    The effect of recent land use and subsequent vegetation changes per se on surface-water acidity is difficult to ascertain because of the complicating factor of enhanced levels of anthropogenic acid deposition that occurs at the same time as land-use changes. Expansion of conifers is a major contemporary vegetation change in Sweden and other countries. The immigration of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) into Sweden about 3000 years ago prov…

  • Ice Islands, 1967

    Open AccessD Lindsay, D G Lindsay et al.ARTICLEARCTIC1968

    Five large ice islands broke away from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf between 19 August 1961 and 18 April 1962. The largest of these was WH-5, which drifted through Nares Channel and eventually broke up. The Polar Continental Shelf Project (PCSP) has been following the movements of the four remaining ice islands WH-l, WH-2, WH-3, and WH-4 since the summer of 1963. By 1967 two of these islands, WH-3 and WH-4, had drifted out of the effective range of PCS…
