2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

Abstract Lake Barrine (17.25° S, 145.64° E), on the Atherton Tablelands in tropical northeast
Australia, was formed as a maar lake in the late Pleistocene. The 65 m-deep stratified lake …

Abstract The Tarvagatai Nuruu National Park, situated in the northern Khangai Mountains in
central Mongolia, is dominated by a forest-steppe ecosystem. An extreme continental and …

Abstract After the middle Miocene Climate transition, global cooling caused substantial
hydrological changes in East Asia. Today, many lines of evidence indicate that inland East …

Anthropogenic activities are causing detrimental changes to coastal plants–namely
seagrass, mangrove, and tidal marshes. Looking beyond recent times to past vegetation …

Abstract Orbital-scale East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) variability has been extensively
investigated in Pliocene-Quaternary loess and marine sediments. In recent years, middle …

Soil erosion has significant negative effects on the eco-environment, and it also threatens
the sustainability of agricultural production. However, studies on soil erosion in northern …

The global spread of lake hypoxia,[O 2]< 2 mg L-1, during the last 2 centuries has had a
severe impact on ecological systems and sedimentation processes. While the occurrence of …

Reports have shown that even remote lakes have been negatively affected by
anthropogenic activities. This study used metal concentrations and enrichment factors to …

Lake sediments are ideal archives to evaluate the interactions between climatically driven
environmental responses and human activity on seasonal to multi‐decadal timescales. This …
