Paleoclimate records from the tropical Pacific suggest the early to mid-Holocene was a
period of reduced El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability, with a transition to …

This paper reviews the 210Pb dating programme carried out at the University of Liverpool
over a period of three decades since its inception by Frank Oldfield in the mid-1970s. The …

Environmental archives, such as sediments, banded corals and tree rings, are widely used
to reconstruct past environmental conditions of ecosystems. In particular, 210Pb has been …

Records stored in natural archives, such as lake sediments or peat bog accumulations, are
used in a wide range of environmental programs, for example: the assessment of changing …

This text, written by a leading researcher in the field, describes the origin and formation of
lakes in order to give context to the question of how lacustrine deposits form. It explains the …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Mangrove ecosystems are an important natural carbon sink that accumulate and store large
amounts of organic carbon (C org), in particular in the sediment. However, the magnitude of …

Lead-210 assay and dating are subject to several sources of error, including natural
variation, the statistical nature of measuring radioactivity, and estimation of the supported …

Many representatives of freshwater zooplankton produce at some stage in their life cycle
resting stages. A variable portion of the eggs of the previous growing period will hatch at the …

Abstract Lead-210 and radium-226 measurements by direct gamma assay can now provide
a record of changing concentrations in lake sediments sufficiently reliable and precise to …
