Tracking the hydro-climatic signal from lake to sediment: a field study from central Turkey (2014)
Journal Article
Dean, J. R., Eastwood, W. J., Roberts, N., Jones, M. D., Yiğitbaşıoğlu, H., Allcock, S. L., …Leng, M. J. (2015). Tracking the hydro-climatic signal from lake to sediment: a field study from central Turkey. Journal of Hydrology, 529(2), 608-621. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2014.11.004

Palaeo-hydrological interpretations of lake sediment proxies can benefit from a robust understanding of the modern lake environment. In this study, we use Nar Gölü, a non-outlet, monomictic maar lake in central Turkey, as a field site for a natural e...

What do we mean by wet? Geoarchaeology and the reconstruction of water availability (2012)
Journal Article
Jones, M. D. (2013). What do we mean by wet? Geoarchaeology and the reconstruction of water availability. Quaternary International, 308-309, 76-79. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2012.12.015

Geoarchaeology has a key role to play in the human-climate-environment debate, including research into the controls and variability of water availability. However its interdisciplinarity can cause complications as well as advantages and leads to conf... Read More about What do we mean by wet? Geoarchaeology and the reconstruction of water availability.

Interpreting lake isotope records of Holocene environmental change in the Eastern Mediterranean (2007)
Journal Article
Jones, M. D., & Roberts, C. N. (2008). Interpreting lake isotope records of Holocene environmental change in the Eastern Mediterranean. Quaternary International, 181(1), 32-38. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2007.01.012

Oxygen isotope records from lake sediment archives are becoming an increasingly common tool for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. We discuss their interpretation in the Eastern Mediterranean region with particular reference to three records, Zeriba...

A high-resolution late Holocene lake isotope record from Turkey and links to North Atlantic and monsoon climate (2006)
Journal Article
Jones, M. D., Roberts, C. N., Leng, M. J., & Türkeş, M. (2006). A high-resolution late Holocene lake isotope record from Turkey and links to North Atlantic and monsoon climate. Geology, 34(5), 361-364. https://doi.org/10.1130/G22407.1

A high resolution proxy record of precipitation and evaporation variability through the past 1700 yr from δ18O analysis of a varved lake sequence from central Turkey shows rapid shifts between dry periods (AD 300–500 and AD 1400–1950) and wetter inte...

A coupled calibration and modelling approach to the understanding of dry-land lake oxygen isotope records (2005)
Journal Article
Jones, M. D., Leng, M. J., Roberts, C. N., Turkes, M., & Moyeed, R. (2005). A coupled calibration and modelling approach to the understanding of dry-land lake oxygen isotope records. Journal of Paleolimnology, 34(3), 391–411. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-005-6743-0

Comparisons between climate proxies and instrumental records through the last two centuries are often used to understand better the controls on palaeoarchives and to find relationships that can be used to quantify changes in pre-instrumental climate....
