Red Sea Palaeoclimate: Stable Isotope and Element-Ratio Analysis of Marine Mollusc Shells (2018)
Book Chapter
Hausmann, N., Kokkinaki, O., & Leng, M. J. (2019). Red Sea Palaeoclimate: Stable Isotope and Element-Ratio Analysis of Marine Mollusc Shells. In N. M. Rasullan, & C. F. Stewart (Eds.), Geological Setting, Palaeoenvironment and Archaeology of the Red Sea (725-740). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-99408-6_33

The southern Red Sea coast is the location of more than 4,200 archaeological shell midden sites. These shell middens preserve archaeological and climatic archives of unprecedented resolution and scale. By using shells from these contexts, it is possi...

Middle-late quaternary palaeoclimate variability from lake and wetland deposits in the Nefud Desert, Northern Arabia (2018)
Journal Article
Parton, A., Clark-Balzan, L., Parker, A. G., Preston, G. W., Sung, W. W., Breeze, P. S., …Petraglia, M. D. (2018). Middle-late quaternary palaeoclimate variability from lake and wetland deposits in the Nefud Desert, Northern Arabia. Quaternary Science Reviews, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.10.010

Records of former lake and wetland development in present day arid/hyper-arid environments provide an important source of information for palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental studies. In Arabia, such records are typically confined to eccentricity-m...

Effects of cleaning methods upon preservation of stable isotopes and trace elements in shells of Cyprideis torosa (Crustacea, Ostracoda): implications for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction (2018)
Journal Article
Roberts, L., Holmes, J., Leng, M. J., Sloane, H., & Horne, D. (2018). Effects of cleaning methods upon preservation of stable isotopes and trace elements in shells of Cyprideis torosa (Crustacea, Ostracoda): implications for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Quaternary Science Reviews, 189, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.03.030

The trace element (Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca) and stable isotope (δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C) geochemistry of fossil ostracod valves provide valuable information, particularly in lacustrine settings, on palaeo-water composition and palaeotemperature. The removal of sedimen...
