Chemical Geology
1. Reconstructing past climates using carbon isotopes from fulvic acids in cave sediments
Jason S. Polk, Philip van Beynen, Yemane Asmerom, Victor J. Polyak
We test the use of cave sediments for paleoclimate reconstruction.
We compared the results to stalagmite isotopes in Florida.
Carbon isotopes of fulvic acids in cave sediments record changes in vegetation.
This method is a novel approach proven to work well in this region.

2. The influence of temperature and vital effects on magnesium isotope variability in Porites and Astrangia corals
Casey Saenger, Zhengrong Wang, Glenn Gaetani, Anne Cohen, Janice M. Lough

Global and Planetary Change
3. Millennial-scale versus long-term dynamics in the surface and subsurface of the western North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre during Marine Isotope Stage 5
André Bahr, Dirk Nürnberg, Cyrus Karas, Jens Grützner

4. Late Quaternary coccolith records in the South China Sea and East Asian monsoon dynamics
Xiang Su, Chuanlian Liu, Luc Beaufort, Jun Tian, Enqing Huang

5. Holocene centennial-scale changes of the Indonesian and South China Sea throughflows: Evidences from the Makassar Strait
Weijia Fan, Zhimin Jian, Franck Bassinot, Zhihui Chu

6. A global analysis of erosion of sandy beaches and sea-level rise: An application of DIVA
Jochen Hinkel, Robert J. Nicholls, Richard S.J. Tol, Zheng B. Wang, Jacqueline M. Hamilton, Gerben Boot, Athanasios T. Vafeidis, Loraine McFadden, Andrey Ganopolski, Richard J.T. Klein

7. Interactions between carbon dioxide, climate, weathering, and the Antarctic ice sheet in the earliest Oligocene
D. Pollard, L.R. Kump, J.C. Zachos

P3
8. Sr/Ca–sea surface temperature calibration in the coral Porites lutea from subtropical northern South China Sea
Tianran Chen, Kefu Yu, Tegu Chen

9. Productivity modes in the Mediterranean Sea during Dansgaard–Oeschger (20,000–70,000 yr ago) oscillations
Alessandro Incarbona, Mario Sprovieri, Agata Di Stefano, Enrico Di Stefano, Daniela Salvagio Manta, Nicola Pelosi, Maurizio Ribera d'Alcalà, Rodolfo Sprovieri, Patrizia Ziveri

10. Deglacial mesophotic reef demise on the Great Barrier Reef
E. Abbey, J.M. Webster, J.C. Braga, G.E. Jacobsen, G. Thorogood, A.L. Thomas, G. Camoin, P.J. Reimer, D.C. Potts
We describe 3 deglacial mesophotic assemblages and interpret their environments.
Extensive radiometric dating constrains the timing of their development.
We identify a period of perturbation where mesophotic coral growth is interrupted.
The hiatus coincides with massive sediment flux attributed to sea level rise.

Quaternary Science Reviews
11. Constraining Holocene lake-level highstands on the Tibetan Plateau by 10Be exposure dating: a case study at Tangra Yumco, southern Tibet
Eike F. Rades, Ralf Hetzel, Qiang Xu, Lin Ding
10Be dating of wave-cut terraces yields accurate ages for past lake-level highstands.
Strath terraces in rocks of different erosional resistance yield consistent 10Be ages.
The early Holocene lake-level highstand of Tangra Yumco ended at 7.6 ± 0.6 ka.
