A century of anthropogenic environmental change in tropical Asia: Multi-proxy palaeolimnological evidence from Singapore’s Central Catchment (2019)
Journal Article
Fong, L. S., Leng, M. J., & Taylor, D. (2019). A century of anthropogenic environmental change in tropical Asia: Multi-proxy palaeolimnological evidence from Singapore’s Central Catchment. Holocene, https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683619875808

The environmental ramifications of rapid development on the functioning of warm tropical freshwater ecosystems are poorly understood. Here, a multi-proxy palaeolimnological approach is used to examine the nature and degree of anthropogenic environmen...

Mediterranean winter rainfall in phase with African monsoons during the past 1.36 million years (2019)
Journal Article
Wagner, B., Vogel, H., Francke, A., Friedrich, T., Donders, T., Lacey, J. H., …Zhang, X. (2019). Mediterranean winter rainfall in phase with African monsoons during the past 1.36 million years. Nature, 573, 256-260. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1529-0

Mediterranean climates are characterized by strong seasonal contrasts between dry summers and wet winters. Changes in winter rainfall are critical for regional socioeconomic development, but are difficult to simulate accurately1 and reconstruct on Qu...

Temporal variability in foraminiferal morphology and geochemistry at the West Antarctic Peninsula: a sediment trap study (2019)
Journal Article
Mikis, A., Hendry, K. R., Pike, J., Schmidt, D. N., Edgar, K. M., Peck, V., …Ducklow, H. (2019). Temporal variability in foraminiferal morphology and geochemistry at the West Antarctic Peninsula: a sediment trap study. Biogeosciences, 16, 3267-3282. https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-16-3267-2019

The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) exhibits strong spatial and temporal oceanographic variability, resulting in highly heterogeneous biological productivity. Calcifying organisms that live in the waters off the WAP respond to temporal and spatial var...

The biogeochemical impact of glacial meltwater from Southwest Greenland (2019)
Journal Article
Hendry, K. R., Huvenne, V. A., Robinson, L. F., Annett, A., Badger, M., Jacobel, A. W., …Woodward, E. M. S. (2019). The biogeochemical impact of glacial meltwater from Southwest Greenland. Progress in Oceanography, 176, Article 102126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pocean.2019.102126

Biogeochemical cycling in high-latitude regions has a disproportionate impact on global nutrient budgets. Here, we introduce a holistic, multi-disciplinary framework for elucidating the influence of glacial meltwaters, shelf currents, and biological...

Role of Asian summer monsoon subsystems in the inter-hemispheric progression of deglaciation (2019)
Journal Article
Nilsson-Kerr, K., Anand, P., Sexton, P. F., Leng, M. J., Misra, S., Clemens, S. C., & Hammond, S. J. (2019). Role of Asian summer monsoon subsystems in the inter-hemispheric progression of deglaciation. Nature Geoscience, 12(4), 290-295. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-019-0319-5

The responses of Asian monsoon subsystems to both hemispheric climate forcing and external orbital forcing are currently issues of vigorous debate. The Indian summer monsoon is the dominant monsoon subsystem in terms of energy flux, constituting one...
