Speleothems are now established as important palaeoenvironmental archives and contain a
number of suitable proxies, although trace elements have been much less widely used than …

As a geographic connection between Africa and the rest of Eurasia, the Arabian Peninsula
occupies a central position in elucidating hominin evolution and dispersals. Arabia has been …

The chemical and isotopic composition of speleothem calcite and particularly that of
stalagmites and flowstones is increasingly exploited as an archive of past environmental …

To disperse out of sub-Saharan Africa, it was necessary for hominins to cross the deserts of
either the Sahara and/or Arabia. Thus, understanding the palaeoclimate of the Saharo …

Environmental change in Arabia has oscillated between climatic extremes throughout the
Quaternary period with evidence for ancient pluvials, apparent in the lacustrine sediments …

An early to mid-Holocene humid period has been inferred from a variety of geo-bio-archives
of the Sahara and the Arabian Peninsula including sabkhas, palaeo-lakes, sand dunes …

The occurrence of aragonite in speleothems has commonly been related to high dripwater
Mg/Ca ratios, because Mg is known to be a growth inhibitor for calcite. Laboratory aragonite …

Oil-water transition zones in carbonate reservoirs represent important but rarely studied
diagenetic environments that are now increasingly re-evaluated because of their potentially …

A study of 103 extensional faults hosted by fine grained carbonates in western Sinai,
Svalbard and Oman reveals that faults vary geometrically between simple cores and cores …

Discontinuity surfaces in shallow‐marine carbonate successions may represent significant
time gaps in the geological record of ancient epeiric‐neritic seas. Understanding the hidden …
