Year hydroclimate reconstruction from Lake Von, Aotearoa New Zealand indicates Pacific-wide synchrony in Southern Hemisphere westerly wind variability
Toward a novel multi-century archive of tree mast using pollen from lake sediments
Mast seeding – the pronounced inter-annual variability and synchrony in seed production – can have profound local ecological impacts. We explore the potential for generating long (centuries to millennia) proxy records of tree mast seeding, from pollen deposited in lake sediments. This proxy record uses pollen recovered from annually-banded (varved) sediments from a core collected from Lake Ohau, South Island, New Zealand to reconstruct masting ev…
Pretreatment of Terrestrial Macrofossils
Acid-alkali-acid (AAA) pretreatment is widely used to clean terrestrial plant macrofossil samples for radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating. There is wide variation amongst laboratories in the AAA method details and less rigorous AAA pretreatment is often used on fragile or small samples. Yet there is little evidence as to the efficacy of the different methods and whether the use of less rigorous methods is justified. We investigated four variations of AAA …

AMS Dating of Pollen Concentrates—A Methodological Study of Late Quaternary Sediments from South Westland, New Zealand
A simple method for preparing pollen concentrates for 14 C AMS dating is applied to organic and inorganic deposits from a peat bog in south Westland, New Zealand, from which preliminary AMS dating indicated age inversions and severe younger carbon contamination problems. The AMS ages of the pollen concentrates provided consistently older age estimates for each sample than ages derived from their respective organic residue or combined pollen and o…
