Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico (2013)
Journal Article
Felstead, N. J., Gonzalez, S., Huddart, D., Noble, S. R., Hoffmann, D. L., Metcalfe, S. E., …Jimenez-Lopez, J. C. (2014). Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico. Journal of Archaeological Science, 42, 250-259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2013.11.010

Two sets of well-preserved human footprints have been found in tufa sediments in the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico, and here we present their U-series dates of 10.55±0.03ka and 7.24±0.13ka. The former are the oldest known footprints in Mexico, alth... Read More about Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico.

Glacial discharge along the west Antarctic Peninsula during the Holocene (2013)
Journal Article
Pike, J., Swann, G. E., Leng, M. J., & Snelling, A. M. (2013). Glacial discharge along the west Antarctic Peninsula during the Holocene. Nature Geoscience, 6, https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1703

The causes for rising temperatures along the Antarctic Peninsula during the late Holocene have been debated, particularly in light of instrumental records of warming over the past decades. Suggested mechanisms range from upwelling of warm deep waters... Read More about Glacial discharge along the west Antarctic Peninsula during the Holocene.

Seasonally resolved diatom ?18O records from the west Antarctic Peninsula over the last deglaciation (2013)
Journal Article
Swann, G. E., Pike, J., Snelling, A. M., Leng, M. J., & Williams, M. C. (2013). Seasonally resolved diatom ?18O records from the west Antarctic Peninsula over the last deglaciation. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 364, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2012.12.016

Understanding the response of the Antarctic ice sheets during the rapid climatic change that accompanied the last deglaciation has implications for establishing the susceptibility of these regions to future 21st Century warming. A unique diatom δ18O... Read More about Seasonally resolved diatom ?18O records from the west Antarctic Peninsula over the last deglaciation.
