Revisiting the ‘Hole of Bad Aussee
Despite a long history of geologic research in the European Eastern Alps, Quaternary landscape evolution before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains poorly constrained due to the scarcity of dated sedimentary archives, particularly in inneralpine regions. In this study, we reinvestigate an 880-m-long drill core from Bad Aussee (Styria, Austria), originally drilled for salt exploration. Sedimentological, geochemical, and geochronological analyse…
Glaciations and landscape change in the Lower Aare Valley (Northern Switzerland) through the Middle Pleistocene
Throughout the Pleistocene, valley glaciers repeatedly advanced into the forelands of the European Alps. However, the corresponding geological record is highly fragmentary and the regional glaciation history, especially prior to the last glacial maximum, is still poorly documented. We explored the archives of the Lower Aare Valley in the confluence area of the Aare river with Reuss and Limmat, focusing on the overdeepened Gebenstorf-Stilli Trough…
Holocene vegetation change at Grosssee, eastern Swiss Alps
Pollen, spores, and microscopic charcoal from the sediments of Grosssee (1,619 m a.s.l.), a small lake in the lower subalpine vegetation zone of the Glarus Alps, Switzerland, were analysed to reconstruct vegetation patterns and land use over the past ca. 12,300 calibrated 14 C years bp (cal bp ). Pollen data revealed an open landscape covered with grasses and herbs such as Artemisia during the Late Glacial Period. The catchment was likely initial…
The well-preserved Late Neolithic dolmen burial of Oberbipp, Switzerland. Construction, use, and post-depositional processes
Excavation of the Late Neolithic dolmen of Oberbipp BE, Steingasse in the Swiss Central Plateau provided a unique opportunity for a comprehensive study of the archaeological and anthropological evidence. In multidisciplinary studies, we investigated the processes at work during construction, use, and abandonment of the megalithic structure, as well as the dietary habits, subsistence strategy, and possible mobility of the Neolithic population. Arc…
Years of climate, vegetation, fire and land-use dynamics in the thermo-mediterranean vegetation belt of northern Sardinia (Italy)
Knowledge about the vegetation history of Sardinia, the second largest island of the Mediterranean, is scanty. Here, we present a new sedimentary record covering the past ~ 8,000 years from Lago di Baratz, north-west Sardinia. Vegetation and fire history are reconstructed by pollen, spores, macrofossils and charcoal analyses and environmental dynamics by high-resolution element geochemistry together with pigment analyses. During the period 8,100-…
Vegetation and fire history of coastal north-eastern Sardinia (Italy) under changing Holocene climates and land use
Alpine lacustrine varved record reveals summer temperature as main control of glacier fluctuations over the past 2250 years
Glacier fluctuations are a key indicator of changing climate. Their reconstruction beyond historical times unravels glacier variability and its forcing factors on long time scales, which can considerably improve our understanding of the climate–glacier relationship. Here, we present a 2250-year-long reconstruction of particle-mass accumulation rates recorded in the lacustrine sediments of Lake Trüebsee (Central Swiss Alps) that are directly relat…
North–south palaeohydrological contrasts in the central Mediterranean during the Holocene
On the basis of a multi-proxy approach and a strategy combining lacustrine and marine records along a north–south transect, data collected in the central Mediterranean within the framework of a collaborative project have led to reconstruction of high-resolution and well-dated palaeohydrological records and to assessment of their spatial and temporal coherency. Contrasting patterns of palaeohydrological changes have been evidenced in the central M…
Holocene climate, fire and vegetation dynamics at the treeline in the Northwestern Swiss Alps
Elemental (C/N ratios) and isotopic (δ 15 N org , δ 13 C org ) compositions of sedimentary organic matter from a high-altitude mountain lake (Meidsee, 2661 m a.s.l., Switzerland)
The deposition of Late Pleistocene and Holocene sediments in the high-altitude lake Meidsee (located at an altitude of 2661 m a.s.l. in the Southwestern Alps) strikingly coincided with global ice-sheet and mountain-glacier decay in the Alpine forelands and the formation of perialpine lakes. Radiocarbon ages of bottom-core sediments point out (pre-) Holocene ice retreat below 2700 m a.s.l., at about 16, 13, 10, and 9 cal. kyr BP. The Meidsee sedim…
Climate drying and associated forest decline in the lowlands of northern Guatemala during the late Holocene
Palynological studies document forest disappearance during the late Holocene in the tropical Maya lowlands of northern Guatemala. The question remains as to whether this vegetation change was driven exclusively by anthropogenic deforestation, as previously suggested, or whether it was partly attributable to climate changes. We report multiple palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironment proxies (pollen, geochemical, sedimentological) from sediment cores c…
Quantification of soil erosion rates related to ancient Maya deforestation
We used seismic and sediment core data to quantify soil erosion rates for the past ~6000 yr in the closed catchment of Lake Salpetén, in the tropical lowlands of northern Guatemala. The region was affected by ancient Maya land use from before ca. 1000 B.C. to A.D. 900. This period of human impact coincided with deposition in the lake of a detrital unit (Maya Clay) as much as 7 m thick that contrasts sharply with the relatively organic-rich gyttja…
Sturm trotz Flaute
Storms on lakes are generally associated with wind. The severest storm observed on the Swiss Lake Lucerne, however, took place during calm and clear weather in the year 1601. During a magnitude 6.2 earthquake wave heights up to four metres were witnessed. High-resolution reflection-seismic imaging and coring of the lake's sediments revealed more than 15 coeval slide deposits associated with the 1601 earthquake. The largest slide affected an area …
Holocene palaeoclimates of southern Patagonia
Multiproxy palaeoenvironmental and palaeolimnological analyses of two Holocene-age sediment cores from the margin of Lago Cardiel, a 76 m deep, closed-basin lake in southern Patagonia (latitude 49°S), provide information on lake-level changes that can be related to regional palaeoclimate scenarios. Sedimentol ogic (magnetic susceptibility, organic and inorganic carbon content) and environmental indicators (pollen, dia toms, ostracodes and stable …
