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...

C/N ratios and carbon isotope composition of organic matter in estuarine environments (2017)
Book Chapter
Leng, M. J., & Lewis, J. P. (2017). C/N ratios and carbon isotope composition of organic matter in estuarine environments. In K. Weckström, K. Saunders, P. Gell, & G. Skilbeck (Eds.), Applications of Paleoenvironmental Techniques in Estuarine Studies. Springer Netherlands. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-0990-1_9

The sediments that are preserved in estuarine environments (saltmarsh, riverine estuaries, mangrove habitats, lagoons, isolation basins and fjords) contain organic matter that allows investigation of the provenance of that material. These data can th... Read More about C/N ratios and carbon isotope composition of organic matter in estuarine environments.
