Abstract:
... The Arternian Interglacial has been established on the basis of a pollen record within the Muschelton (=Shell Clay) horizon near Voigtstedt (type locality) in the surroundings of Artern in Central Germany. This horizon is older than the early Middle Pleistocene Voigstedt/Lehmzone (=Loam Zone) layers, which overlie the Muschelton. Due to the lack of a comprehensive fossil record, the age of the Art ...

Abstract:
... There is currently a deficiency of annually-resolved temperature series from the marine environment. We present a multiproxy reconstruction of Hebridean shelf sea (Tiree Passage; NW Scotland) spring sea surface temperatures (SSTs) for the period AD 1805–2010. The reconstruction is based on the growth increment series from the first absolutely dated annually-resolved multi-centennial Glycymeris gly ...

Lacustrine samples (n=96) from the northern Siberian lowlands of Yakutia were collected along four north-to-south transects crossing the arctic forest line. Samples span a broad temperature and precipitation gradient ( ...

Abstract:
... The long-term record of lacustrine deposits in the Tarim Basin seems to provide a record of climate influenced by westerly winds. To characterize the evolution of westerly winds, we analyzed concentrations of Rb, V, Zn, Sc and Sr for the drill core Ls2 from Lop Nor in the eastern Tarim Basin. The Rb/Sr ratio in lacustrine deposits depends primarily on the Sr element activity during weathering, aft ...
