Environmental significance of kaolinite variability over the last centuries in crater lake sediments from Central Mexico (2023)
Journal Article

Environmental conditions have a notable impact on clay minerals, primarily because of the chemical reactions they undergo with their immediate environment. These reactions are more pronounced in hot and humid tropical regions, and therefore, the stud...

Estimating background concentrations of PM2.5 for urban air quality modelling in a data poor environment (2023)
Journal Article

Atmospheric dispersion models are widely applied to simulate pollutant concentrations such as PM2.5 for use in long- and short-term health studies. A significant proportion of PM2.5 originates outside urban areas in which many people live. It is impo...

Changing water quality and thermocline depth along an aquaculture gradient in six tropical crater lakes (2022)
Journal Article

Understanding how lakes respond to changes in nutrient loading along a productivity gradient can help identify key drivers of aquatic change, thereby allowing appropriate mitigation strategies to be developed. Physical, chemical and biological water... Read More about Changing water quality and thermocline depth along an aquaculture gradient in six tropical crater lakes.

Response of a low elevation carbonate lake in the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico) to climatic and human forcings (2022)
Journal Article

The importance of climate change, specifically drought, across the Maya region in the northern Neotropics, remains a topic of lively debate. Part of this discussion hinges on the coherency of response to climatic variability across different archives...

A multiproxy database of western North American Holocene paleoclimate records (2021)
Journal Article

Holocene climate reconstructions are useful for understanding the diverse features and spatial heterogeneity of past and future climate change. Here we present a database of western North American Holocene paleoclimate records. The database gathers p...

Can ?18O help indicate the causes of recent lake area expansion on the western Tibetan Plateau? A case study from Aweng Co (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, Springer Nature B.V. Glacier-fed lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) have undergone rapid expansions since the late 1990s, concurrent with the changing climate. However, the dominant cause(s) of lake area increases is still debated. To identify... Read More about Can ?18O help indicate the causes of recent lake area expansion on the western Tibetan Plateau?

A Tale of Maize, Palm, and Pine: Changing Socio-Ecological Interactions from Pre-Classic Maya to the Present Day in Belize (2020)
Journal Article

The environmental impact of the ancient Maya, and subsequent ecological recovery following the Terminal Classic decline, have been the key foci of research into socio-ecological interactions in the Yucatán peninsula. These foci, however, belie the co... Read More about A Tale of Maize, Palm, and Pine: Changing Socio-Ecological Interactions from Pre-Classic Maya to the Present Day in Belize.

Diatoms in a sediment core from a flood pulse wetland in Malaysia record strong responses to human impacts and hydro‐climate over the past 150 years (2020)
Journal Article

Rapid development and climate change in southeast Asia is placing unprecedented pressures on freshwater ecosystems, but long term records of the ecological consequences are rare. Here we examine one basin of Tasik Chini (Malaysia), a UNESCO?designate...
