Journal Article
van Hardenbroek, M., Chakraborty, A., Davies, K., Harding, P., Heiri, O., Henderson, A., …Wooller, M. (2018). The stable isotope composition of organic and inorganic fossils in lake sediment records: current understanding, challenges, and future directions. Quaternary Science Reviews, 196, 154-176. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.08.003

This paper provides an overview of stable isotope analysis (H, C, N, O, Si) of the macro and microscopic remains from aquatic organisms found in lake sediment records and their application in (palaeo)environmental science. Aquatic organisms, includin... Read More about The stable isotope composition of organic and inorganic fossils in lake sediment records: current understanding, challenges, and future directions.

Modelling silicon supply during the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) at Lake Baikal (2018)
Journal Article
Panizzo, V., Swann, G., Mackay, A., Pashley, V., & Horstwood, M. (2018). Modelling silicon supply during the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) at Lake Baikal. Quaternary Science Reviews, 190, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.04.006

Limnological reconstructions of primary productivity have demonstrated its response over Quaternary timescales to drivers such as climate change, landscape evolution and lake ontogeny. In particular, sediments from Lake Baikal, Siberia, provide a val... Read More about Modelling silicon supply during the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) at Lake Baikal.

Lake Baikal isotope records of Holocene Central Asian precipitation (2018)
Journal Article
Swann, G. E., Mackay, A. W., Vologina, E., Jones, M. D., Panizzo, V., Leng, M. J., Sloane, H. J., Snelling, A. M., & Sturm, M. (2018). Lake Baikal isotope records of Holocene Central Asian precipitation. Quaternary Science Reviews, 189, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.04.013

Climate models currently provide conflicting predictions of future climate change across Central Asia. With concern over the potential for a change in water availability to impact communities and ecosystems across the region, an understanding of hist...

Spatial differences in dissolved silicon utilisation in Lake Baikal, Siberia: examining the impact of high diatom biomass events and eutrophication (2018)
Journal Article
Panizzo, V., Roberts, S., Swann, G. E., McGowan, S., Mackay, A. W., Vologina, E., Pashley, V., & Horstwood, M. S. (2018). Spatial differences in dissolved silicon utilisation in Lake Baikal, Siberia: examining the impact of high diatom biomass events and eutrophication. Limnology and Oceanography, 63(4), 1562-1578. https://doi.org/10.1002/lno.10792

Recent research has highlighted how Lake Baikal, Siberia, has responded to the direct and indirect effects of climate change (e.g., ice-cover duration), nutrient loading, and pollution, manifesting as changes in phytoplankton/zooplankton populations,...

A review of the stable isotope bio-geochemistry of the global silicon cycle and its associated trace elements (2018)
Journal Article
Sutton, J. N., André, L., Cardinal, D., Conley, D. J., de Souza, G. F., Dean, J. R., …Swann, G. E. (2018). A review of the stable isotope bio-geochemistry of the global silicon cycle and its associated trace elements. Frontiers in Earth Science, 5, Article 112. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2017.00112

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and is an important nutrient in the ocean. The global Si cycle plays a critical role in regulating primary productivity and carbon cycling on the continents and in the oceans. Deve...
