Impact of Holocene relative sea-level changes on patch reef-island development in the Spermonde Archipelago, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Reef cores that have been radiometrically dated are increasingly used to examine Holocene reef geomorphology, accretion rates, and community changes. Further, these accretion rates can be compared to sea level change regimes to see if, and how coral reefs have been keeping up with sea level. As Sea level rise is expected to accelerate over the next 100 years, it is important to examine whether these reef complexes are able to “keep up” and avoid …
Holocene dust dynamics
This article is a brief introduction to the Special Issue on Holocene Dust Dynamics , which brings together recent research on a key aspect of the Earth’s changing climate through its effects on radiative balance, cloud cover and biogeochemical cycles. The aim of the Special Issue is to contribute to a better understanding of the role of dust aerosols by analysing the evolution and climatic impact of atmospheric dust over long and short timescale…
Late-Holocene dynamics of sea-surface temperature and terrestrial hydrology in southwestern Africa
Southwest Africa is an important region for paleo-climatic studies, being influenced by both tropical and temperate climate systems and thus reflecting the interplay of variable controls. The aim of this study was to unravel the interaction of sea-surface temperature (SST) changes in the southernmost Benguela upwelling system with precipitation changes in South Africa’s winter rainfall zone (WRZ) during the late Holocene. Therefore, a marine sedi…
Controversies in the late Quaternary of the Southern Hemisphere
A tenfold increase in the Orange River mean Holocene mud flux
Soil erosion poses a major threat to sustainable agriculture in southern Africa but is difficult to quantify. One measure of soil erosion is the sediment flux of rivers. The Orange River is the principal source of sediment to the western margin of South Africa with an estimated mean mud flux over the last 11 500 years (the Holocene epoch) of 5.1 (3.2—7.4) million metric tons/year (Mt/yr). A total of 43 gigatons (Gt; 10 15 g) representing 72% of t…
Sources and modes of terrigenous sediment input to the Chilean continental slope
The late quaternary paleoenvironment of Chile as seen from marine archives
Many variables have been used to reconstruct Chilean paleoenvironmental changes during the late Quaternary. In this paper we present an overview of a number of these variables, so-called proxies, that have been inferred from marine sediments from the Chilean continental margin and summarise the results. In general, a glacial-interglacial pattern of climate changes can be recognised in the proxy records with high-frequency variabilities superposed…
Climate variability at the southern boundaries of the Namib (southwestern Africa) and Atacama (northern Chile) coastal deserts during the last 120,000 yr
In this study, we present grain-size distributions of the terrigenous fraction of two deep-sea sediment cores from the SE Atlantic (offshore Namibia) and from the SE Pacific (offshore northern Chile), which we "unmix" into subpopulations and which are interpreted as coarse eolian dust, fine eolian dust, and fluvial mud. The downcore ratios of the proportions of eolian dust and fluvial mud subsequently represent paleocontinental aridity records of…
