Fine ash from the Campanian Ignimbrite super-eruption, ~ 40 ka, southern Italy: implications for dispersal mechanisms and health hazard Open
Super-eruptions disperse volcanic ash over vast areas, impacting the environment and human health. Fine ash, particularly its respirable fraction (< 4 µm), poses a significant health hazard by inhalation due to its high dispersal potential…

Societal changes in Ancient Greece impacted terrestrial and marine environments Open
The Aegean hosts some of the earliest cultural centers in European antiquity. To reconstruct the evolution of early anthropogenic impact in this region, we have examined lead (Pb) contents and vegetation dynamics on well-dated environmenta…

Campanian Ignimbrite tephra reveals asynchronous vegetation responses to abrupt climate change in the eastern Mediterranean region Open
The timing and rate of ecosystem response to abrupt climate change is a product of numerous complex interactions between biotic and abiotic drivers. Palaeoecological studies from long sedimentary records, particularly those that span perio…

Changes in Holocene sediment deposition in the Aegean Sea: climatic versus early anthropogenic forcing Open
Since the Lateglacial, the Eastern Mediterranean region has been subject to repeated climatic and environmental change. It is also home to some of the earliest cultural centres in human history. These cultures have closely interacted with …

Natural and human-induced ecosystem change in SE Europe since AD 1700 derived from a partially varved sediment record from Lake Vouliagmeni (Greece) Open
To reconstruct naturally and anthropogenically induced environmental change in SE Europe since the Little Ice Age, we have examined five partially varved sediment cores from coastal Lake Vouliagmeni, Greece. Our reconstructions are based o…

Revisiting the geographical extent of exceptional warmth in the Early Paleogene Southern Ocean Open
To assess zonal temperature and biogeographical patterns in the Paleogene of the Southern Ocean, we present new multi-proxy air and sea surface temperature data for the latest Paleocene (~57–56 Ma) and the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum …

Obliquity Influence on Low‐Latitude Coastal Precipitation in Eastern Brazil During the Past ∼850 kyr Open
Paleoclimate records from tropical South America typically show precession‐paced variability in rainfall, caused by insolation‐driven changes in the South American Monsoon System, however this mechanism may not be responsible for hydroclim…

Enhanced Terrestrial Carbon Export From East Antarctica During the Early Eocene Open
Terrestrial organic carbon (TerrOC) acts as an important CO 2 sink when transported via rivers to the ocean and sequestered in coastal marine sediments. This mechanism might help to modulate atmospheric CO 2 levels over short‐ and long‐ ti…

Chironomid‐inferred summer temperature development during the late Rissian glacial, Eemian interglacial and earliest Würmian glacial at Füramoos, southern Germany Open
Eemian pollen records from central Europe describe a transition from thermophilous tree taxa in the early Eemian to boreal tree taxa in the late Eemian with forest opening in the subsequent stadial. Available summer‐temperature reconstruct…

Summer temperatures during the last glaciation (MIS 5c to MIS 3) inferred from a 50,000-year chironomid record from Füramoos, southern Germany Open
There is a sparsity of long, continuous palaeotemperature records for the last glacial period in central Europe, particularly for the interval corresponding to Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 4 and 3. Here we present a new, ca. 50-thousand yea…

Stable Biological Production in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Across the Plio‐Pleistocene Transition (∼3.35–2.0 Ma) Open
Upwelling within the Eastern Equatorial Pacific (EEP) Ocean is a key factor for the Earth's climate because it supports >10% of the present‐day biological production. The dynamics of upwelling in the EEP across the Plio‐Pleistocene transit…

Late Glacial and Holocene palynological data from Füramoos, Southwestern Germany Open
Palynological data from the Late Glacial and Holocene (c. 14500 – 200 yrs cal. BP) obtained from an ombrotrophic peat bog at Füramoos (southern Germany).

A new sea-level record for the Neogene/Quaternary boundary reveals transition to a more stable East Antarctic Ice Sheet Open
Significance We studied the response of global ice volume/sea level to climate forcing from ∼2.75 to 2.4 Ma, when atmospheric CO 2 levels last lay in a range similar to the last two centuries. Our data reveal clear cycles in global sea lev…

A Plio-Pleistocene (c. 0–4 Ma) cyclostratigraphy for IODP Site U1478 (Mozambique Channel, SW Indian Ocean): Exploring an offshore record of paleoclimate and ecosystem variability in SE Africa Open
The paleoclimate and ecosystem variability in Africa during the Plio/Pleistocene has received considerable attention due to its potential links to hominid evolution. However, the reconstruction of this variability hinges critically upon hi…
