1. Breakpoint lead-lag analysis of the last deglacial climate change and atmospheric CO2 concentration on global and hemispheric scales

Author:

Subject:
carbon dioxide; climate; climate change; glaciation; ice; temporal variation; Antarctic region
Abstract:
... Antarctic ice core records show that climate change and atmospheric CO2 concentration (aCO2) are closely related over the past 800 thousand years. However, the interpretation of their sequential, and hence the causal relationship has long been controversial. In this study, we revisit this long-standing scientific issue based on 88 well-dated high-resolution climate proxy records derived from ice c ...

Abstract:
... The forcing and mechanisms governing sea surface temperature (SST) variations in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) are complex. Insight into the full spectrum of IPWP climate dynamics, however, is limited by the spatial and temporal coverage of the climate data. In particular, the relationships among the changes in the SSTs, the precipitation patterns mainly associated with rainfalls from Asian Mo ...

Abstract:
... Seismic profiles integrated with borehole cores from offshore of the Yangtze River Delta characterize three distinctive Holocene deposition units in correspondence to estuarine, shallow marine and prodelta facies respectively (Units Ⅰ to Ⅲ). Sedimentary processes and evolution of three units in response to sea-level rise and Yangtze delta development was studied. Estuarine facies occurred as a clu ...

Abstract:
... The reconstruction of prehistoric temperature and precipitation variations in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is essential for understanding the cultural evolution of the region, but related information is sparse due to the limitations of the available proxies. Recent studies have shown that microbial glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are promising tools for reconstructing mean a ...

Abstract:
... Echimyidae is an ancient, widely diversified hystricomorph clade whose evolutionary history is linked to the Neotropical forested areas. Its fossil record, mostly from southern South America, shows temporal stages concurrent with Cenozoic climatic trends. Fossils from the late Oligocene to middle Miocene are related to living arboreal species, whereas those known since the late Miocene are restric ...

Abstract:
... The Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) site of Tell Halula in the middle Euphrates valley has yielded large quantities of cowrie shells used in the composition of belts and diadems. These shells were discovered in burials as complete items composing ornaments and in outdoor contexts as broken halves. In this paper we shed light on a little known PPNB ornamental practice; the acquisition and display of ...

In this study we perform an integral assessment of geometric morphometrics of Ameghinomya antiqua shells from San Matías Gulf (SMG) (Patagonia, Argentina) with special attention on the protected natural area Caleta de Los Loros. In order to relate morphological variation with environmental change ...

Abstract:
... The availability of freshwater has been and remains a crucial concern in westerlies-dominated arid Central Asia. Understanding precipitation changes in this area and the underlying mechanisms, therefore, is of great importance. This study explores precipitation changes in Central Asia (35°–50° N and 50°–70° E) since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and their control factors using results from the “S ...

Subject:
biosphere; carbon; carbonates; coasts; fossils; karsts; monitoring; paleoclimatology; paleoecology; radiometry; radionuclides; sea level; soil; thorium; uranium; Croatia
Abstract:
... Speleothems, as secondary carbonate deposits, precipitate in the cave environment from the water originally sourced from the ocean, transferred via atmosphere through soil and epikarst into the cave system. As such, they archive valuable information on the ongoing changes in the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere which may be used for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, especially ...

We examine δ¹³C values from soil organic matter (SOM) from the Culebra, Inguiro and Verde watersheds (Verde data are from Mueller et al., 2012) located in the Mixteca Alta from the terminal Pleistocene to the present. The SOM δ¹³C values were compared against local paleosol data and other paleoenvironmental proxies from central and southwestern Mexico. The paleovegetation implications of the SOM r ...

Abstract:
... In southern China, the Ailuropoda-Stegodon fauna is a very general one with a relatively stable Ailuropoda and Stegodon fossil assemblage throughout the Pleistocene epoch, and cervid remains are also significant elements of this fauna. The taxonomic study on isolated cervid tooth fossils of the Late Pleistocene Ailuropoda-Stegodon fauna is not very adequate. The numerous cervid tooth fossils recen ...

Abstract:
... Starting from statistical samplings or anthropological dynamics hypothesis, GIS predictive models are particularly helpful for archaeological site detection. About 11,000 B.P., during the transition from the last glacial period and Holocene, there was a gradual decrease of glacier in Europe and groups of hunter-gatherers began to populate extensive lands in central-northern Europe and in the Alpin ...
