  • First evidence of a lake at Ancient Phaistos (Messara Plain, South-Central Crete, Greece)

    Open AccessMatthieu Ghilardi, David Psomiadis et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Cited by: 5References: 8

    Phaistos was one of the most important Minoan palaces in Crete and previous studies have addressed its relationship with the paleo-seashore position during historical times. Here, we reconstruct the environmental evolution of Phaistos from Early Minoan to Roman times. Study of two stratigraphic sections and nine boreholes drilled in the westernmost part of the Messara Plain has revealed the stratigraphy of the Mid- to Late-Holocene sediments. Lab…

  • Indian Summer Monsoon variations could have affected the early-Holocene woodland expansion in the Near East

    Open AccessMorteza Djamali, Hossein Akhani et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2010Cited by: 8References: 6

    Postglacial expansion of deciduous oak woodlands of the Zagros—Anti-Taurus Mountains, a major biome of the Near East, was delayed until the middle Holocene at ~6300 cal. yr BP. The current hypotheses explain this delay as a consequence of a regional aridity during the early Holocene, slow migration rates of forest trees, and/or a long history of land use and agro-pastoralism in this region. In the present paper, support is given to a hypothesis t…

  • Le Rift est-africain

    Open AccessBernard Charlery De La Masselière, Michel Chauvet et al.BOOKLe Rift est-africain2009

    De la Corne de l’Afrique aux Grands Lacs, de l’Éthiopie au Mozambique, le Rift est-africain s’étend en une succession de dépressions, de hauts plateaux, de lacs et de volcans, le long d’une fracture majeure du continent africain. Tel un grand livre ouvert, le Rift s’offre comme un vaste laboratoire naturel permettant de retracer l’histoire de notre planète, de comprendre l’évolution de l’écorce terrestre, la formation des océans et des volcans. L…

  • Holocene climate variability

    Open AccessPaul A Mayewski, Eelco E Rohling et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2004

    Although the dramatic climate disruptions of the last glacial period have received considerable attention, relatively little has been directed toward climate variability in the Holocene (11,500 cal yr B.P. to the present). Examination of ?50 globally distributed paleoclimate records reveals as many as six periods of significant rapid climate change during the time periods 9000"8000, 6000"5000, 4200"3800, 3500"2500, 1200"1000, and 600"150 cal yr B…

  • Climatic and volcanic forcing revealed in a 50,000-year diatom record from Lake Massoko, Tanzania

    Open AccessPhilip Barker, David Williamson et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2003

    The interactions between climatic and volcanic forcing on diatom communities contained in a 50,000-year sedimentary sequence from Lake Massoko, Tanzania, were examined. At the century scale, 19 discrete tephra inputs to the lake isolated the sedimentary nutrient supply and shifted the diatom communities to those tolerant of low phosphorus levels, whereas at the millennial scale, diatom-inferred shifts in precipitation–evaporation based on conduct…

  • Hydrological changes in the African tropics since the Last Glacial Maximum

  • A 40,000-yr Pollen and Diatom Record from Lake Tritrivakely, Madagascar, in the Southern Tropics

    Open AccessFrançoise Gasse, Elise Van CampoARTICLEQuaternary Research1998

    Links between southern and northern hemisphere climates during the Late Quaternary are poorly known, partly due to the scarcity of continuous climatic records in the southern tropics. Pollen and diatom evidence from Lake Tritrivakely (19°47′S) provides information on vegetational and hydrological changes in the central highlands of Madagascar over the past 40,000 yr. Most of the record reflects natural environmental variability since humans arriv…

  • Freshwater Diatom Influx in Intertropical Atlantic

    Open AccessFrançoise Gasse, Bjørg Stabell et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1989

    Diatom assemblages from modern West African rivers and from lacustrine sediments subjected to deflation represent the present-day sources of continental diatoms to the sea. Diatom productivity in large rivers is high, especially for the genus Melosira . Windblown diatoms derive mainly from the central and northern Sahara (summer dust plume) where saline chloride-water assemblages are widespread, or from the southern edge of the Sahara (winter dus…
