CHRONOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE LATEGLACIAL POLLEN AND MACROFOSSIL SEQUENCE IN THE PIRIN MOUNTAINS, BULGARIA: LAKE BESBOG AND LAKE KREMENSKO-5

Stefanova I.; Atanassova Ju.; Delcheva M.; Wright H.E. (2006)

The sediments of numerous cirque lakes in the Pirin Mountains have yielded several generalized pollen diagrams, but low stratigraphic and temporal resolution has hampered detailed reconstruction of the vegetational history, ...
SHORELINES IN THE SAHARA: GEOMORPHOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOR AN ENHANCED MONSOON FROM PALAEOLAKE MEGACHAD

Drake N.; Bristow Ch. (2006)

The Sahara Desert is the most extensive desert on Earth but during the Holocene it was home to some of the largest freshwater lakes on Earth; of these, palaeolake Megachad was the biggest. Landsat TM images and Shuttle ...
HOLOCENE EVOLUTION OF THE HAIFA BAY AREA, ISRAEL, AND ITS INFLUENCE ON ANCIENT TELL SETTLEMENTS

Zviely D.; Sivan D.; Ecker A.; Bakler N.; Rohrlich V.; Galili E.; Boaretto E.; Klein M.; Kit E. (2006)

The geographical evolution of Haifa Bay and Zevulun Plain, Israel, from the late Pleistocene to the Holocene, is based on detailed analysis of drilled cores. At the beginning of the Holocene the Bay area was still under ...
HOLOCENE CHANGES IN SEA LEVEL AND COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS ON RAROTONGA, COOK ISLANDS, SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN

Moriwaki H.; Chikamori M.; Okuno M.; Nakamura T. (2006)

The Holocene coastal plain of the island of Rarotonga, characterized by beach ridges and swamps, is the best developed of the Cook Islands group which lies in eastern Polynesia. Using geomorphic mapping, excavation and ...
STABLE-CARBON ISOTOPE COMPOSITION OF POACEAE POLLEN: AN ASSESSMENT FOR RECONSTRUCTING C3 AND C4 GRASS ABUNDANCE

Nelson D.M.; Hu F.Sh.; Michener R.H. (2006)

Plants using the C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways differ in carbon-isotope composition, and this difference offers a means to estimate the relative abundance of these two functional groups in the palaeorecord. We report ...
LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN RECONSTRUCTED SEASONAL MASS BALANCE AT PEYTO GLACIER, CANADA, AND PACIFIC SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES

Watson E.; Luckman B.H.; Yu B. (2006)

Tree-ring based mass balance reconstructions developed for Peyto Glacier, Alberta, Canada are compared with measured conditions in the Pacific Ocean over the last century and, using reconstructions of Pacific climate ...
MOLLUSCA STABLE ISOTOPE RECORD OF A CORE FROM LAKE FRASSINO, NORTHERN ITALY: HYDROLOGICAL AND CLIMATIC CHANGES DURING THE LAST 14 KA

Baroni C.; Zanchetta G.; Fallick A.E.; Longinelli A. (2006)

A core retrieved from Lake Frassino (northern Italy) provided evidence of palaeohydrological change in this area during the last 14 ka. Lithological, malacological and, in particular, stable isotope composition of freshwater ...
LATE-HOLOCENE CATASTROPHIC FLOODS IN THE TERMINAL ARNO RIVER (PISA, CENTRAL ITALY) FROM THE STORY OF A ROMAN RIVERINE HARBOUR

Benvenuti M.; Mariotti-Lippi M.; Pallecchi P.; Sagri M. (2006)

The results of the stratigraphic and sedimentological analysis carried out at an exceptional archaeological site situated in the coastal plain of the Arno and Serchio Rivers (western Tuscany, Italy) are reported. The site, ...
THE LATE-HOLOCENE ORIGIN OF THE MODERN MURRAY RIVER COURSE, SOUTHEASTERN AUSTRALIA

Stone T. (2006)

The modern course of the Murray River flows south around the Cadell Tilt Block in southeastern Australia. The avulsion that took the river in this direction formed the Barmah Choke, a reach with an unusually straight ...
MID-TO LATE-HOLOCENE RELATIVE SEA-LEVEL CHANGE IN SOUTHWEST BRITAIN AND THE INFLUENCE OF SEDIMENT COMPACTION

Edwards R.J. (2006)

Relative sea-level changes in southwest Britain are poorly constrained because of limitations in the quality and quantity of existing geological data. As a consequence, in contrast to most other regions in the UK, it is ...
PATTERN AND TIMING OF SEDIMENT INFILL AT GLACIER-FED MUD LAKE: IMPLICATIONS FOR LATEGLACIAL AND HOLOCENE ENVIRONMENTS IN THE MONASHEE MOUNTAIN REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

Hodder K.R.; Desloges J.R.; Gilbert R. (2006)

The Holocene sedimentary infill of proglacial Mud Lake, British Columbia, Canada, was investigated using 3.5 kHz acoustic sub-bottom profiling and sediment samples. The sediment infill is a mixture of silt and clay and is ...
SCLEROCHRONOLOGICAL RECORDS OF ARCTICA ISLANDICA FROM THE INNER GERMAN BIGHT

Epple V.M.; Brey T.; Witbaard R.; Kuhnert H.; Patzold Ju. (2006)

Sclerochronological records of interannual shell growth variability were established for eight modern shells (26 to 163 years of age) of the bivalve Arctica islandica, which were sampled at one site in the inner German ...
THE WINGEOL LAMINATION TOOL: NEW SOFTWARE FOR RAPID, SEMI-AUTOMATED ANALYSIS OF LAMINATED CLIMATE ARCHIVES

Meyer M.C.; Faber R.; SpOtl Ch. (2006)

Geological and biological archives showing an annually laminated internal structure are currently top priority in palaeoclimate research, as they are recognized as very high-resolution archives of environmental change. ...
LATE QUATERNARY RIVER EVOLUTION OF FLOODPLAIN POCKETS ALONG MULLOON CREEK, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA

Johnston P.; Brierley G. (2006)

Valley confinement along upper-middle reaches of Mulloon Creek, in the upper Shoalhaven catchment of southern New South Wales, Australia, restricts floodplain development to a series of distinct pockets. These pockets ...
MULTICENTURY GLACIER FLUCTUATIONS IN THE SWISS ALPS DURING THE HOLOCENE

Joerin U.E.; Stocker T.F.; SchlUchter Ch. (2006)

Subfossil remains of wood and peat from six Swiss glaciers found in proglacial fluvial sediments indicate that glaciers were smaller than the 1985 reference level and climatic conditions allowed vegetation growth in now ...
QUANTIFICATION AND REGULATION OF ORGANIC AND MINERAL SEDIMENTATION IN A LATE-HOLOCENE FLOODPLAIN AS A RESULT OF CLIMATIC AND HUMAN IMPACTS (TALIGNY MARSH, PARISIAN BASIN, FRANCE)

Macaire J.Ja.; Bernard Ja.; Di-Giovanni Ch.; Hinschberger F.; Limondin-Lozouet N.; Visset L. (2006)

Quantification in grams per metres squared per year of the sediment accumulation in a flood plain (‘marsh’) located in the southwestern Parisian basin showed that there is no close relationship between the accumulation of ...
HOLOCENE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FAUNA OF LAKE BOECKELLA, NORTHERN ANTARCTIC PENINSULA

Gibson J.A.E.; Zale R. (2006)

The origins of the freshwater fauna that inhabits Antarctic lakes are poorly known. The species present today could be relict species that have survived Quaternary glaciations on the continent, or Holocene migrants from ...
HOLOCENE PALAEOCLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS AT VANNDALSVATNET, WESTERN NORWAY, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE 8200 CAL. YR BP EVENT

Nesje A.; Bjune A.E.; Bakke J.; Dahl S.O.; Lie O.; Birks H.J.B. (2006)

Analyses of organic content, magnetic susceptibility, grain size and pollen in sediments from the proglacial lake Vanndalsvatnet in western Norway provide a high-resolution terrestrial record and pollen-based quantitative ...
THE MACROSCOPIC CHARCOAL RECORD IN FORESTED BOREAL PEATLANDS IN SOUTHEAST NORWAY

Ohlson M.; KorbOl A.; Okland R.H. (2006)

We present a spatial and quantitative analysis of the macroscopic charcoal record in 11 forested peat basins in a boreal forest landscape in southeast Norway. The areas of the basins ranged from 200 to 6400 m2 and our study ...
