Regional phytoliths from the Coastal Cordillera of the Atacama Desert, Chile, and their potential for paleoecological reconstructions
Siliceous phytoliths are frequently used in archaeology and Quaternary paleoecology. In order to validate the potential of phytoliths to reconstruct the vegetation history in the Atacama Desert, Chile, we analyzed the occurrence and morphotypes of phytoliths in different organs of 97 plant species from 36 families living in the Coastal Cordillera of the Atacama Desert. Phytolith extraction was conducted by a new protocol using microwave digestion…
Holocene glacier fluctuations and environmental changes in subantarctic South Georgia inferred from a sediment record from a coastal inlet
The subantarctic island of South Georgia provides terrestrial and coastal marine records of climate variability, which are crucial for the understanding of the drivers of Holocene climate changes in the subantarctic region. Here we investigate a sediment core (Co1305) from a coastal inlet on South Georgia using elemental, lipid biomarker, diatom, and stable isotope data to infer changes in environmental conditions and to constrain the timing of l…
Shallow hypersaline lakes as paleoclimate archives
Demographic estimates of hunter–gatherers during the Last Glacial Maximum in Europe against the background of palaeoenvironmental data
Seasonal hydrochemical changes and spatial sedimentological variations in Lake Iznik (NW Turkey)
Lithostratigraphic and geochronological framework for the paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the last ∼36 ka cal BP from a sediment record from Lake Iznik (NW Turkey)
Lake Banyoles (northeastern Spain)
Temporal and spatial corridors of Homo sapiens sapiens population dynamics during the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene
Late Quaternary lake-level changes of Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Siberia
Lake El'gygytgyn is situated in a 3.6 Ma old impact crater in northeastern Siberia. Presented here is a reconstruction of the Quaternary lake-level history as derived from sediment cores from the southern lake shelf. There, a cliff-like bench 10 m below the modern water level has been investigated. Deep-water sediments on the shelf indicate high lake levels during a warm Mid-Pleistocene period. One period with low lake level prior to Marine Oxyge…
No significant ice-sheet expansion beyond present ice margins during the past 4500 yr at Rauer Group, East Antarctica
The history of glacial advances and retreats of the East Antarctic ice sheet during the Holocene is not well-known, due to limited field evidence in both the marine and terrestrial realm. A 257-cm-long sediment core was recovered from a marine inlet in the Rauer Group, East Antarctica, 1.8 km in front of the present ice-sheet margin. Radiocarbon dating and lithological characteristics reveal that the core comprises a complete marine record since …
Late Pleistocene and Holocene Vegetation and Climate on the Taymyr Lowland, Northern Siberia
Pollen records from perennially frozen sequences provide vegetation and climate reconstruction for the last 48,000 14 C years in the central part of Taymyr Peninsula. Open larch forest with Alnus fruticosa and Betula nana grew during the Kargin (Middle Weichselian) Interstade, ca. 48,000–25,000 14 C yr B.P. The climate was generally warmer and wetter than today. Open steppe-like communities with Artemisia , Poaceae, Asteraceae, and herb tundralik…
Late Weichselian Glaciation of the Russian High Arctic
A numerical ice-sheet model was used to reconstruct the Late Weichselian glaciation of the Eurasian High Arctic, between Franz Josef Land and Severnaya Zemlya. An ice sheet was developed over the entire Eurasian High Arctic so that ice flow from the central Barents and Kara seas toward the northern Russian Arctic could be accounted for. An inverse approach to modeling was utilized, where ice-sheet results were forced to be compatible with geologi…
