A new high-resolution chronology for the late Maastrichtian warming event: establishing robust temporal links with the onset of Deccan volcanism (2017)
Journal Article

The late Maastrichtian warming event was defined by a global temperature increase of ∼2.5–5 °C that occurred ∼150–300 k.y. before the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction. This transient warming event has traditionally been associated with a m...

Regional Holocene climate and landscape changes recorded in the large subarctic lake Torneträsk, N Fennoscandia (2017)
Journal Article

Understanding the response of sensitive Arctic and subarctic landscapes to climate change is essential to determine the risks of ongoing and projected climate warming. However, these responses will not be uniform in terms of timing and magnitude acro...

Post-mortem oxygen isotope exchange within cultured diatom silica (2017)
Journal Article

Rationale Potential post-mortem alteration to the oxygen isotope composition of biogenic silica is critical to the validity of palaeoclimate reconstructions based on oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O values) from sedimentary silica. We calculate the deg... Read More about Post-mortem oxygen isotope exchange within cultured diatom silica.

Seasonality of Holocene hydroclimate in the Eastern Mediterranean reconstructed using the oxygen isotope composition of carbonates and diatoms from Lake Nar, central Turkey (2017)
Journal Article

A positive shift in the oxygen isotope composition (?18O) of lake carbonates in the Eastern Mediterranean from the early to late Holocene is usually interpreted as a change to drier (reduced P/E) conditions. However, it has also been suggested that c...

Sedimentary context and palaeoecology of Gigantoproductus shell beds in the Mississippian Eyam Limestone Formation, Derbyshire carbonate platform, central England (2017)
Journal Article

A sedimentological study was conducted at two localities exposing the Mississippian Eyam Limestone Formation of the Derbyshire carbonate platform, UK. Ricklow Quarry comprises seven facies with diverse skeletal assemblages, representing deposition on...

A late Quaternary record of seasonal sea surface temperatures off southern Africa (2017)
Journal Article

The southern Cape coastal region is important for understanding both the behavioural history of modern humans, and regional and global climate dynamics, because it boasts a long archaeological record and occupies a key geographical location near the...

Timing recovery after the cretaceous/paleogene boundary: evidence from Brazos River, Texas (2017)
Journal Article

As part of an on-going re-assessment of the Cretaceous/ Paleogene boundary in the Brazos River area, Falls County, Texas, a number of new exposures have been described. One of these, at River Bank South, provides a near continuous record of the lower... Read More about Timing recovery after the cretaceous/paleogene boundary: evidence from Brazos River, Texas.

The prospectivity of a potential shale gas play: An example from the southern Pennine Basin (central England, UK) (2017)
Journal Article

During the Serpukhovian (late Mississippian) Stage, the Pennine Basin, now underlying much of northern England, consisted of a series of interlinked sub-basins that developed in response to the crustal extension north of the Hercynic orogenic zone. F... Read More about The prospectivity of a potential shale gas play: An example from the southern Pennine Basin (central England, UK).

Temporal controls on silicic acid utilisation along the West Antarctic Peninsula (2017)
Journal Article

The impact of climatic change along the Antarctica Peninsula has been widely debated in light of atmospheric/oceanic warming and increases in glacial melt over the past half century. Particular concern exists over the impact of these changes on marin... Read More about Temporal controls on silicic acid utilisation along the West Antarctic Peninsula.
