Analyses of a fluvial sedimentary sequence from the lower reaches Narmada River establish record rhythmic cycles sediment facies that represent floods during late Holocene. The south-west Indian monsoon strongly influences study area, and heavy rainfall or cyclones which originate either Bay Bengal Arabian Sea, also affect region. Optically stimulated luminescence dating places 8 m thick in cli...

A coupled pollen-brGDGT paleoclimate reconstruction approach has been tested to provide independent and robust estimates of Holocene climate environment changes in the extremely arid mountainous areas ranging from northern Arid Central Asia (ACA) Mongolian Plateau. The two proxies were calibrated for both global local modern data sets (NMSDB). This multi-proxy was then applied a sediment core c...

The upland lakes (ULs) in Carajás, southeastern Amazonia, have been extensively studied with respect to their high-resolution structural geology, geomorphology, stratigraphy, multielement and isotope geochemistry, palynology limnology. These studies generated large multiproxy datasets, which were integrated this review explain the formation evolution of ULs. ULs evolved during Pliocene–Pleistoc...

In order to find a model parameterization such that the hydrological model performs well even under different conditions, appropriate model performance measures have to be determined. A common performance measure is the Nash Sutcliffe efficiency. Usually it is calculated comparing observed and modelled daily values. In this paper a modified version is suggested in order to calibrate a model on ...

Lithostratigraphy, depositional facies architecture, and diagenesis of upper Pliocene to Holocene carbonates in northern Belize are evaluated based on a ca 290 m, continuous section of samples from a well drilled on Ambergris Caye that can be linked directly to outcrops of Pleistocene limestone, and of overlying Holocene sediments. Upper Pliocene outer-ramp deposits are overlain unconformably b...

Neandertals differ from recent and terminal Pleistocene human populations in their patterns of dental development, endostructural (internal structure) organization, and relative tissue proportions. Although significant changes in craniofacial and postcranial morphology have been found between the Middle Paleolithic and earlier Upper Paleolithic modern humans of western Eurasia and the terminal ...

Radiocarbon dating and sedimentological studies of closely spaced cores indicate movement during the Holocene of sediments on the New Jersey continental slope and upper rise between Wilmington and Lindenkohl canyons. The uneven time-stratigraphic thickness of the late Quaternary sediment sections between cores and the nonuniform deposition rate at any given core site and among core sites show t...

We present paleoclimate evidence for rapid ( < 100 years) shifts of f 2–4 jC in Chesapeake Bay (CB) temperature f2100, 1600, 950, 650, 400 and 150 years before present (years BP) reconstructed from magnesium/calcium (Mg/Ca) paleothermometry. These include large temperature excursions during the Little Ice Age (f1400–1900 AD) and the Medieval Warm Period (f800–1300 AD) possibly related to change...
