Over the past 3.5 million years, there have been several intervals when climate conditions
were warmer than during the pre-industrial Holocene. Although past intervals of warming …

A new sediment core from Padul, Padul-15-05, provides a long and continuous sedimentary
and paleoenvironmental record of the last∼ 200 kyr. Here we present a detailed …

The extent of vegetation openness in past European landscapes is widely debated. In
particular, the temperate forest biome has traditionally been defined as dense, closed …

Few continental palaeoenvironmental sedimentary sequences from Southern Europe are
long enough to span the last interglacial period (Marine Isotopic Stage-MIS 5), the last …

In this article, we present new, high-resolution, pollen results obtained from the DEEP site
sequence recovered from Lake Ohrid (Albania/FYROM) for the Last Interglacial Complex …

The core of Turkey's land is the Anatolian Peninsula, which is surrounded by several seas
(Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea). Offering a high variety of morphological …

Detailed analyses of the Lake Van pollen, Ca/K ratio, and stable oxygen isotope record
allow the identification of millennial-scale vegetation and environmental changes in eastern …

The origin of sedimentary dolomite and the factors that control its formation within the
geological record remain speculative. In most models, dolomite formation is linked to …

Oxygen and carbon isotope (δ 18 O and δ 13 C) data from bulk carbonates are widely
applied proxies for temperature, the precipitation/evaporation ratio and productivity in …

A new detailed pollen and oxygen isotope record of the penultimate interglacial–glacial
cycle, corresponding to the marine isotope stage (MIS) 7–6, has been generated from the …
