Tracing climate and human-driven erosional activity in the Transylvania lowlands (Central-Eastern Europe) during the Holocene Open
Erosion is a complex geomorphological process controlled by climate, soil and vegetation characteristics in addition to land-use. However, the interplay of these drivers is not fully understood. Here we present a 11.8 ka multi-proxy record…

Going digital in landform fieldwork: fad or opportunity and challenge? Open
Although the use of digital outcrops may have become a routine way to collect and share geological information, this approach is less well used as a communication tool in geomorphology, whether to support students’ understanding of l…

Aspects of microbial communities in peatland carbon cycling under changing climate and land use pressures Open
Globally, major efforts are being made to restore peatlands to maximise their resilience to anthropogenic climate change, which puts continuous pressure on peatland ecosystems and modifies the geography of the environmental envelope that u…
