A 2.75 m long core was recovered from La Joya lagoon at the southern Pacific coast of Mexico. The base of the core gave an age of ca. 5600 a BP. The AMS 14C dating results indicate a continuously depositional history over the past 5600 years with varied sedimentation rates of 0.022–0.08 cm/yr. Sediment samples were analyzed for pollen, diatoms, loss on ignition (LOI), magnetic susceptibility and elemental analysis, to study the environmental and marine changes occurred during the Holocene in the study site of the Pacific coast. Our data provided indications of the paleoenvironmental changes in the study site from the south Pacific coast of México: a complete marine environment from ca. 5600 to ca. 3200 a BP; a transitional lagoon from ca. 3200 to 1100 a BP; and followed by a shift toward a close lagoon with fresh water during the last 1100 years. The pollen data (the presence of pollen from Cucurbitaceae and secondary taxa related to disturbed vegetation) of La Joya record show evidence of agricultural activities and Human occupation in the study area might exist 5000 a BP.

7.     The timing and nature of the last glacial cycle in New Zealand
J. Shulmeister, G.D. Thackray, T.M. Rittenour, D.Fink, N.R. Patton
Temperate style of New Zealand glaciation is described.
Eight significant glacial events are recognised in the last (Otiran) Ice age.
Multiple glacial drivers are recognised.
Evidence for possible northward movement of surface westerly winds in late MIS 3 is summarised.

8.     Quantitative reconstruction of primary productivity in low latitudes during the last glacial maximum and the mid-to-late Holocene from a global Florisphaera rofundal calibration dataset
I. Hernández-Almeida, B. Ausín, M. Saavedra-Pellitero, K.-H. Baumann, H.M.Stoll
• An extensive new modern and fossil global dataset of Florisphaera profunda relative abundances.
• F. profunda % show strong correlation to net primary productivity (Npp) only at low latitudes.
• Temperature control of F. profunda at high latitudes does not warrant its use as Npp indicator.
• F. profunda-Npp calibration allows quantitative reconstruction of past ocean productivity.
• Reconstructed Npp at low latitudes is 15% higher during the LGM than the MLH.
