Summed radiocarbon probability density functions cannot prove solar forcing of Central European lake-level changes 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
It has been argued that Central European lake levels were driven by solar activity. This interpretation rests on the comparison of a score record of radiocarbon dates with the 14 C residual curve. Thi...
COMNISPA II: Update of a mid-European isotope climate record, 11 ka to present 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
We present an update (COMNISPA II) of a precisely dated, high-resolution speleothem 18 O record from the Austrian Alps. COMNISPA II consists of five stalagmites from Spannagel Cave, which have compara...
Climate and glacier mass balance trends from AD 1780 to present in the Columbia Mountains, British Columbia, Canada 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
Climate and glacier mass balance trends from 1780 to present within the Columbia Mountains, British Columbia, Canada, were investigated using tree-ring data. Annually resolved ring width, maximum dens...
Information content of zero pollen counts in Holocene profiles 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
Percentage-based pollen diagrams display the relative proportions of various taxa in relation to a stated pollen sum. A zero count for a given palynological taxon, as recorded for a given sample, does...
Reconstructing High Arctic growing season intensity from shoot length growth of a dwarf shrub 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
Annual shoot length of the circumarctic dwarf shrub Cassiope tetragona has proved to be a reliable proxy for past and ongoing climate change in the Arctic. This is based on its strong linear relations...
A 2300 yr record of sago and rice use from the southern Kelabit Highlands of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
Rice and sago are today important staples for many subsistence farmers and nomadic hunter-gatherers living in interior Borneo, but the cultural antiquity of these staples remains poorly understood. Th...
Palliser's Triangle: Reconstructing the 'central desert' of the southwestern Canadian prairies during the late 1850s 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
Between 1857 and 1860 the British North American Expedition, led by Captain John Palliser, explored and surveyed the Canadian Prairies primarily to establish its suitability for agriculture and settle...
Paleoclimate of the Southern Adriatic Sea region during the 'Medieval Climate Anomaly' reflected by organic walled dinoflagellate cysts 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
To obtain insight into the character and forcing of southern Italian climate change during the ‘Medieval Climate Anomaly’ ( c . ad 900–1200), marine sediments deposited between ad 990 and 1200 from th...
Paleosecular variations refining the chronology of the sediments from the Pearl River Delta, southern China 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
A high-resolution paleosecular variations record since ~6 kyr, including direction and relative intensity, was derived from the Pearl River delta (PRD) sediments in southern China constrained by the r...
The temporal and spatial distribution of dust storms on the North China Plain, AD 1464-1913 18 Apr 2013 | 03:55 pm
Using 1844 different chorographies (regional descriptions) from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic Period and other related historical documents, 1180 records of dust storms on the North China Plain fro...
