A global compilation of diatom silica oxygen isotope records from lake sediment – trends and implications for climate reconstruction (2024)
Journal Article
Oxygen isotopes in biogenic silica (δ18OBSi) from lake sediments allow for quantitative reconstruction of past hydroclimate and proxy-model comparison in terrestrial environments. The signals of individual records have been attributed to different fa...

An effective method to extract and purify radiolaria from tropical marine sediments (2023)
Journal Article
Radiolaria are the primary contributors to biogenic opal in the tropical ocean, and their isotope compositions are potentially useful tool for reconstructing the silicon cycle in mid-depth waters. To date little attention has been paid to their isoto... Read More about An effective method to extract and purify radiolaria from tropical marine sediments.

Ecosystem deterioration in the middle Yangtze floodplain lakes over the last two centuries: Evidence from sedimentary pigments (2023)
Journal Article
Water quality of floodplain lakes in the Yangtze region which supports ca. 450 million people is being severely compromised by nutrient pollution, climate change and dam installation resulting from intensive socio-economic development. However, due t... Read More about Ecosystem deterioration in the middle Yangtze floodplain lakes over the last two centuries: Evidence from sedimentary pigments.
Eutrophication has a greater influence on floodplain lake carbon cycling than dam installation across the middle Yangtze region (2022)
Journal Article
Carbon cycling in shallow floodplain lakes is complex due to variability in delivery of flood-derived allochthonous organic matter (OM). Human activities have potential to significantly modify the carbon balance of lakes by damming which restricts ex...

Nutrient availability in the North Pacific region not primarily driven by climate through the Quaternary (2022)
Journal Article
The subarctic North Pacific Ocean is a relatively understudied region in terms of palaeoclimate, limiting our understanding of how the region has both driven and responded to palaeoenvironmental events. Today, the subarctic North Pacific Ocean is mar... Read More about Nutrient availability in the North Pacific region not primarily driven by climate through the Quaternary.
Long-term trends in diatom diversity and palaeoproductivity: a 16000-year multidecadal record from Lake Baikal, southern Siberia (2022)
Journal Article
Biological diversity is inextricably linked to community stability and ecosystem functioning, but our understanding of these relationships in freshwater ecosystems is largely based on short-term observational, experimental, and modelling approaches....

Silicic Acid Cycling in the Bering Sea During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (2022)
Journal Article
The rate of deep-ocean carbon burial is considered important for modulating glacial-interglacial atmospheric CO2 concentrations and global climate during the Quaternary. It has been suggested that glacial iron fertilization and increased efficiency o... Read More about Silicic Acid Cycling in the Bering Sea During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition.
Anthropocene climate warming enhances autochthonous carbon cycling in an upland Arctic lake, Disko Island, West Greenland (2021)
Journal Article
The Arctic is rapidly changing, disrupting biogeochemical cycles and the processing, delivery and sedimentation of carbon (C), in linked terrestrial-aquatic systems. In this investigation, we coupled a hydrogeomorphic assessment of catchment soils, s...

Sea-ice response to climate change in the Bering Sea during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (2021)
Journal Article
Sea-ice is believed to be an important control on climatic changes through the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT; 0.6-1.2 Ma). However, the low resolution/short timescale of existing reconstructions prevents a full evaluation of these dynamics. Here, d...
