1. Vegetation, climate and fire regime changes in the Andean region of southern Chile (38°S) covaried with centennial-scale climate anomalies in the tropical Pacific over the last 1500 years

Pollen and charcoal analysis from lake in the Andes of Chile

reveal centennial-scale changes in vegetation, climate and fire regime since 1500 cal yr BP

results suggest that the Medieval Climate Anomaly was relatively warm and dry followed by a cool-wet climate during the Little Ice Age

2. Fine scale sediment structure and geochemical signature between eastern and western North Atlantic during Heinrich events 1 and 2

Rashid, H., F. Saint-Ange, D. C. Barber, M. E. Smith, and N. Devalia (2012) Quaternary Science Reviews 46:136-150.

Heinrich iceberg-rafting events 1 and 2 (H1 and H2) in the Labrador Sea

nepheloid-flow deposit sedimentary structure

data suggest that the discharge from the Hudson Strait ice-stream was followed by Cumberland Sound ice-sheet during H1 and H2

comparison with North Atlantic and western European margin cores

3. Centennial- to millennial-scale climate oscillations in the Central-Eastern Mediterranean Sea between 20,000 and 70,000 years ago: evidence from a high-resolution geochemical and micropaleontological record

Sprovieri, M., S. Di, Enrico, A. Incarbona, M. Salvagio, Daniela, N. Pelosi, d. A. Ribera, Maurizio, and R. Sprovieri (2012) Quaternary Science Reviews 46:126-135.

doi: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2012.05.005. Full Article

geochemical record from the sediments of Mediterranean basin shows centennial/millennial-scale resemblance to the Greenland ice cores between 20 and 70 kyr BP

Ba/Ca values suggest enhanced freshwater input from the north-eastern Mediterranean borderland during the D/O interstadials

4. Last Glacial Maximum climate in New Zealand inferred from a modelled Southern Alps icefield

Golledge, N., R., A. Mackintosh, N., B. Anderson, M., K. Buckley, M., A. Doughty, M., D. Barrell, J.A., G. Denton, H., M. Vandergoes, J., B. Andersen, G., and J. Schaefer, M. (2012) Quaternary Science Reviews 46:30-45.

high-resolution simulation of the entire Southern Alps LGM icefield

using a physically-based numerical ice-sheet model

best model-based agreement with mapped LGM ice limits when forced with temperature depressions of 6–6.5 °C and a 0–25% reduction in precipitation compared to present

5. Correlation of Late Quaternary moraines: impact of climate variability, glacier response, and chronological resolution

Kirkbride, M. P., and S. Winkler (2012) Quaternary Science Reviews 46:1-29.

doi: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2012.04.002. Full Article

Outlines conceptual complexities of interpreting past climate from moraine sequences

Highlights the multi-faceted nature of error in moraine correlation

6. A late Eocene palynological record of climate change and Tibetan Plateau uplift (Xining Basin, China)

Hoorn, C., J. Straathof, H. Abels, A., Y. Xu, T. Utescher, and G. Dupont-Nivet (2012) Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 344–345:16-38.

Climate models suggest that Asian monsoon was primarily governed by tectonic uplift. However, the cause and timing of paleoenvironmental changes remain poorly constrained

saline lake Xining Basin at the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau (NW China)

pollen record

Pollen suggest a high topography in NE Tibet prior to the E/O boundary

7. The dependence of meteoric 10Be concentrations on particle size in Amazon River bed sediment and the extraction of reactive 10Be/9Be ratios

Wittmann, H., F. von Blanckenburg, J. Bouchez, N. Dannhaus, R. Naumann, M. Christl, and J. Gaillardet (2012) Chemical Geology 318–319:126-138.

doi: 10.1016/j.chemgeo.2012.04.031. Full Article

grain size dependency presents a formidable obstacle to routine applications of meteoric cosmogenic 10Be to basin-wide erosion studies

10Be/9Be ratio offers important advantages over methods employing single meteoric 10Be concentrations, such that this ratio can now be developed as quantitative tracer for Earth surface processes

8. Accurate trace element analysis of speleothems and biogenic calcium carbonates by LA-ICP-MS
