The paper provides new and comparative insight into the ecological history of the two
largest continental tropical forest areas during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The tropical …

The new analyses of a sedimentary record of Lake Pata in the Hill of Six Lakes, in NW
Amazon and its correlation with other Quaternary proxy records in the region provide new …

We investigate the use of Hg as a proxy for volcanism by studying four distal and two
proximal sections in relation to the Deccan volcanic center, straddling the Cretaceous …

The usually low geological background concentrations of Hg makes this trace element
suitable for identifying accumulation pulses in sediments that can be tentatively related to …

This study presents the spatial distribution, degree of contamination and storage capacity of
Hg in surface forest and pasture soils from Alta Floresta, Southern Amazon, a significant …

Global geological processes that occurred during the Ordovician–Silurian transition (OST)
were investigated exploring sections from the Argentine Precordillera (Cerro La Chilca …

A large amount of dust from the Sahara reaches the Amazon Basin, as observed with
satellite imagery. This dust is thought to carry micronutrients that could help fertilize the …

There is a renewed interest in volcanism as the major trigger for dramatic climatic changes
at the Cretaceous–Paleogene transition (KTB), which were accompanied by a decrease in …

We present a geochemical record of a 113.6-cm sediment core (LPT V) from Lagoa da Pata,
which is located in the forested upper Rio Negro basin. The record reveals significant …

Two cap carbonates overlying glaciogenic diamictites crop out extensively in the eastern
Vaza Barris Domain of the Sergipano Belt, northeastern Brazil. They are represented by …
