1. The Mexican Drought Atlas: Tree-ring reconstructions of the soil moisture balance during the late pre-Hispanic, colonial, and modern eras

David W. Stahle^{a, ,} , Edward R. Cook^b, Dorian J. Burnette^c, Jose Villanueva^d, Julian Cerano^d, Jordan N. Burns^e, Daniel Griffin^f, Benjamin I. Cook^g, Rodolfo Acuña^h, Max C.A. Torbenson^a, Paul Sjeznerⁱ, Ian M. Howard^a

The Mexican Drought Atlas (MXDA) provides reconstructed PDSI maps from 1400 to 2012.

MXDA provides a detailed spatial perspective on severe droughts in Mexican history.

ENSO is the strongest ocean-atmospheric forcing detected with the MXDA.

2. Chamber formation leads to Mg/Ca banding in the planktonic foraminifer Neogloboquadrina pachyderma

Lukas Jonkers^{a, , 1,} , Ben Buse^b, Geert-Jan A. Brummer^{c, d}, Ian R. Hall^a

•Large amplitude Mg/Ca variability (<0 .1="" at="" constant="" mmol="" mol="" o:p="" temperatures.="">

•High Mg/Ca bands deposited on outside of laminae at the end of chamber formation.

•Crust Mg/Ca similar to laminar calcite and biologically controlled.

•Temperature influence on Mg/Ca despite large intra- and interest variability.

3. Accelerated late quaternary uplift revealed by ¹⁰Be exposure dating of marine terraces, Mejillones Peninsula, northern Chile

Ariane Binnie^{a, ,} , Tibor J. Dunai^a, Steven A. Binnie^a, Pia Victor^b, Gabriel González^{c, d}, Andreas Bolten^a

•Order of magnitude higher uplift rates for Mejillones Peninsula than adjacent coast.

•Extension causing uplift acceleration and contemporaneous subsidence.

•Extension due to plate coupling responsible for high relief of Mejillones Peninsula.

•Long-term high uplift rates coincide with short-term plate coupling results.

4. Zircon U–Pb dating using LA-ICP-MS: Quaternary tephras in Boso Peninsula, Japan

Hisatoshi Ito^{a, ,} , Futoshi Nanayama^b, Hiroomi Nakazato

•Two Quaternary tephras in Boso Peninsula were precisely dated by zircon U–Pb method.

•The Kazusa Group, a candidate for geologic time scale, was further characterized.
