Downcore counting of laminations in varved sediments offers a direct and incremental
dating technique for high-resolution climatic and environmental archives with at least annual …

Within the last ten years, micro-XRF (µXRF) core scanning has become an important
addition to the suite of techniques for investigating lacustrine sediments. Most studies to date …

The reliability of Arctic climate predictions is currently hampered by insufficient knowledge of
natural climate variability in the past. A sediment core from Lake El'gygytgyn in northeastern …

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 …

Lake sediments constitute natural archives of past environmental changes. Historically,
research has focused mainly on generating regional climate records, but records of human …

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanning of unlithified, untreated sediment cores is becoming an
increasingly common method used to obtain paleoproxy data from lake records. XRF …

Understanding the evolution of Arctic polar climate from the protracted warmth of the middle
Pliocene into the earliest glacial cycles in the Northern Hemisphere has been hindered by …

We constructed a varve data base (VDB) to study the worldwide distribution of varved
sediment records and the fidelity of their varve chronologies. Clusters of lakes with varved …

We review the scientific efforts over the last decades to reconstruct erosion from continuous
alpine lake sediment records. We focused both on methodological issues, showing the …

This volume examines prehistoric copper mining in Europe, from the first use of the metal
eight thousand years ago in the Balkans to its widespread adoption during the Bronze Age …
