Rock varnish record of the African Humid Period in the Lake Turkana basin of East Africa
Rock varnish is a manganiferous dark coating accreted on subaerially exposed rocks in drylands. It often contains a layered microstratigraphy that records past wetness variations. Varnish samples from latest Pleistocene and Holocene geomorphic features in the Lake Turkana basin, East Africa display a regionally replicable microstratigraphy record of Holocene millennial-scale wetness variability and a broad interval of wetter conditions during the…
The Pleistocene climate record in alluvial fans of the Mojave desert
Understanding the Spatial Variability of Environmental Change in Drylands with Rock Varnish Microlaminations
A fundamental problem in the analysis of landforms and surface artifacts is how to correlate the ages of non-contiguous surfaces. One solution to this problem may lie within the varnish coatings on desert rocks. When viewed with a light microscope in ultra-thin cross-sections, rock varnish reveals orange and black layers that record drier and wetter climates, respectively. Consistent patterns of alternating orange and black microlaminae are evide…
