Investigating sediment dynamics and landscape change processes in the semi‐arid Pilbara, Western Australia – Insights using paired cosmogenic 26Al/10Be ratios Open
Sediment dynamics and rates of landscape denudation in dryland regions are difficult to quantify due to long residence times of sediment on hillslopes and floodplains, often exceeding millions of years. Such extended durations complicate t…
Subaqueous speleothems as archives of groundwater recharge on Australia's southern arid margin Open
As anthropogenic climate change enhances aridity across many regions of the globe, understanding drivers of aridification is more important than ever before. Unfortunately, arid regions globally tend to exhibit a paucity of palaeoclimate r…
Are Denman Glacier mass losses unprecedented in recent millennia? Open
The Denman–Scott Glacier system in East Antarctica holds an ice-volume equivalent to 1.5 m of sea-level rise. Warm ocean waters under its ice shelf have the potential to drive ice mass loss, and the bedrock topography underlying the glacie…

Chronology of Late Pleistocene glacial advances in a Mount Mercedario catchment, Subtropical Andes of Argentina (32° S) Open
Glacial fluctuations leave distinct imprints on the landscapes of mountain environments, such as moraines and outwash terraces, that allow the reconstruction of past environmental changes. Unraveling the environmental history of the valley…
Subaqueous speleothems as archives of groundwater recharge on Australia’s southern arid margin Open
As anthropogenic climate change enhances aridity across vast regions of the globe, understanding drivers of aridification is more important than ever before. Unfortunately, arid regions globally tend to exhibit a paucity of palaeoclimate r…

Rainforest response to glacial terminations before and after human arrival in Lutruwita (Tasmania) Open
Limited understanding of how Indigenous people have created and managed the Australian landscape continues to have repercussions on how landscapes are culturally interpreted and managed today. Addressing this is critically important as cli…
First assessment of changes in dust sources in the black forest during the Holocene: case study at Wildseemoor Open
A 600 cm peat sequence was extracted from the ombrotrophic peat bog Wildseemoor in the northern Black Forest, covering the last ca. 10,000 years thus allowing for identification of potential changes in dust input during the Holocene. Such …
High-resolution record of stable isotopes in soil carbonates reveals environmental dynamics in an arid region (central Iran) during the last 32 ka Open
Although central Iran is pivotal for palaeoclimatic correlations, palaeoenvironmental data for this region is very sparse and a reliable chronology for pedogenic features is lacking. We therefore tried to answer the question how the enviro…
Comparison of bulk and sequential sampling methodologies on mammoth tooth enamel and their implications in paleoenvironmental reconstructions Open
Mammoth teeth have been widely investigated using stable-isotopic analysis for paleoenvironmental and paleoecological reconstructions due to their large size and frequent discoveries. Many past investigations sampled the tooth enamel with …

Predominance of wind-wave transport and resuspension of fine river sediments in a great lake: A Delft3D modelling study of lake Turkana, East African Rift Open
Depositional models for clastic sedimentation in large lakes, notably in rift lakes, emphasize on downslope river and gravity-driven processes. Wind-driven waterbodies (WWB), a recently-defined category of lakes, display features created b…

Revisiting the abandoned shorelines of Lake George, Australia: a refined optical dating framework Open
Abandoned shorelines are an important archive used to constrain past fluctuations in the hydrological balance of lakes around the globe. Within Australia, the shorelines preserved at Lake George, NSW, form one of the few shoreline archives…

Direct dating of lithic surface artifacts using luminescence Open
Exploiting the luminescence signal stored in rock surfaces allows numerical dating of archaeological artifacts.

Combining drone-derived digital elevation models and single grain luminescence data of modern analogue deposits to reveal sediment transport pathways and geomorphic change in washover fans Open
The chronostratigraphy of coastal sedimentary records such as washover fans or beach-ridge sequences may be used to reconstruct storm chronologies on centennial to millennial time scales. However, modern analogues are crucial for interpret…
Paleoseismology of the 2016 <i>M</i><sub>W</sub> 6.1 Petermann earthquake source: Implications for intraplate earthquake behaviour and the geomorphic longevity of bedrock fault scarps in a low strain‐rate cratonic region Open
The 20 May 2016 M W 6.1 Petermann earthquake in central Australia generated a 21 km surface rupture with 0.1 to 1 m vertical displacements across a low‐relief landscape. No paleo‐scarps or potentially analogous topographic features are evi…

Revealing Sediment Transport Pathways and Geomorphic Change in Washover Fans by Combining Drone‐Derived Digital Elevation Models and Single Grain Luminescence Data Open
Chronostratigraphic investigations on coastal sedimentary records such as washover fans or beach‐ridge sequences may be used to reconstruct storm chronologies on centennial to millennial time scales. However, modern analogs are pivotal in …
Long-term temporal trajectories to enhance restoration efficiency and sustainability on large rivers: an interdisciplinary study Open
While the history of a fluvial hydrosystem can provide essential knowledge on present functioning, historical context remains rarely considered in river restoration. Here we show the relevance of an interdisciplinary study for improving re…
Long-term river trajectories to enhance restoration efficiency and sustainability on the Upper Rhine: an interdisciplinary study (Rohrschollen Island, France) Open
While the history of a fluvial hydrosystem can provide essential knowledge on present functioning, historical context remains rarely considered in river restoration. Here we show the relevance of an interdisciplinary study for improving re…
Infrared stimulated luminescence dating of 19<sup>th</sup> century fluvial deposits from the upper Rhine River Open
Knowledge of the age of fluvial deposits is an important aspect in the understanding of river dynamics, which is pre-requisite for sustainable river management and restoration back to more natural conditions and processes. Presented here i…
