  • On the Age and Origin of Lake Ejagham, Cameroon, and Its Endemic Fishes

    Open AccessJ Curt Stager, Kenneth Alton et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2018

    Lake Ejagham is a small, shallow lake in Cameroon, West Africa, which supports five endemic species of cichlid fishes in two distinct lineages. Genetic evidence suggests a relatively young age for the species flocks, but supporting geologic evidence has thus far been unavailable. Here we present diatom, geochemical, mineralogical, and radiocarbon data from two sediment cores that provide new insights into the age and origin of Lake Ejagham and it…

  • A 1600-year diatom record of hydroclimate variability from Wolf Lake, New York

    Open AccessJ Curt Stager, Brian F Cummings et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2016References: 3

    A high-resolution diatom record from Wolf Lake, a minimally disturbed ‘heritage’ lake, provides insights into the hydroclimatic history of the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York during the last c. 1600 years. Three pronounced dry periods occurred during c. AD 490–610, 780–870, and 1010–1080, and low precipitation generally prevailed during the warm Medieval Climate Anomaly ( c. AD 950–1350), a finding that fills an important gap in knowled…

  • A late Holocene paleoclimatic history of Lake Tanganyika, East Africa

    Open AccessJ Curt Stager, Christine Cocquyt et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2009

    A nearshore core (LT03-05) from the north basin of Lake Tanganyika provides diatom, pollen, and sedimentary time series covering the last ca. 3800 yr at 15–36 yr resolution. A chronology supported by 21 AMS dates on terrestrial and lacustrine materials allows us to account for ancient carbon effects on 14 C ages and to propose refinements of the region's climatic history. Conditions drier than those of today were followed after ca. 3.30 ka by an …

  • 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…

  • A 10,000-year high-resolution diatom record from Pilkington Bay, Lake Victoria, East Africa

    Open AccessJ Curt Stager, Brian F Cummings et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2003

    A new diatom record from Lake Victoria’s Pilkington Bay, subsampled at 21- to 25-year intervals and supported by 20 AMS dates, reveals a ∼10,000 calendar year environmental history that is supported by published diatom and pollen data from two nearby sites. With their chronologies adjusted here to account for newly documented ancient carbon effects in the lake, these three records provide a coherent, finely resolved reconstruction of Holocene cli…

  • A High-Resolution 11,400-Yr Diatom Record from Lake Victoria, East Africa

    Open AccessJ Curt Stager, Brian F Cummings et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1997

    Fine-interval (∼30–45 yr) sampling of a core from Lake Victoria's Damba Channel shows that numerous abrupt changes in the lake's diatom assemblages have occurred in response to climatic fluctuations over the past 11,400 14 C yr. Four distinct climatic phases bounded by sudden transitions are inferred: (1) variably dry ∼11,400–10,000 yr B.P., (2) humid ∼10,000–7200 yr B.P., (3) more seasonal ∼7200–2200 yr B.P., and (4) more arid ∼2200–0 yr B.P., w…
