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 …

Abstract The Last Interglacial (LIG) represents an invaluable case study to investigate the
response of components of the Earth system to global warming. However, the scarcity of …

From its Icelandic origins in the study of visible tephra horizons, tephrochronology took a
remarkable step in the late 1980 s with the discovery of a ca. 4300‐year‐old microscopic …

Abstract The European Alps and their forelands provide a range of different archives and
climate proxies for develo** climate records in the time interval 60–8 thousand years (ka) …

Terrestrial records of past climatic conditions, such as lake sediments and speleothems,
provide data of great importance for understanding environmental changes. However, unlike …

Millennial-to-interannual events play important roles in driving climate change on Earth.
However, most studies focus on Quaternary records, and few focus on pre-Quaternary …

We define tephras and cryptotephras and their components (mainly ash-sized particles of
glass±crystals in distal deposits) and summarize the basis of tephrochronology as a …

We present the first integrated tephrochronological study (major and trace elemental glass
composition, Sr and Nd isotope analyses, and 40 Ar/39 Ar dating) for the last one tenth (∼ …

In general, the evolution of fluvial systems in Central-Eastern Europe reflects the main
phases of climatic changes during the period of 60–8 ka cal BP registered in Greenland ice …

During the last twenty years, several technical developments have considerably intensified
the use of numerical dating methods for the Quaternary. The study of fluvial archives has …
