Centennial-scale precipitation anomalies in the southern Altiplano (18° S) suggest an extratropical driver for the South American summer monsoon during the late Holocene
(European Geosciences Union, 2019-10-16)
[Abstract] Modern precipitation anomalies in the Altiplano, South America, are closely linked to the strength of the South American summer monsoon (SASM), which is influenced by large-scale climate features sourced in the ...
Lake-level and salinity reconstruction from diatom analyses in Quillagua formation (late Neogene, Central Andean forearc, northern Chile)
(Elsevier, 1999)
A sedimentary and micropaleontological study of the Quillagua Formation provides a detailed paleohydrological reconstruction of the lacustrine system which occupied the present-day hyperarid Quillagua–Llamara fore-arc Basin ...
Identification of the main driving mechanisms in the evolution of a small coastal wetland (Traba, Galicia, NW Spain) since its origin 5700 cal yr BP
(Elsevier, 2007)
This paper examines the interdependence among the different forcing factors in the evolution of the Traba coastal wetland (Galicia, NW Spain) based on lithofacies and diatom analyses of three cores reaching the basement. ...
Climate, catchment runoff and limnological drivers of carbon and oxygen isotope composition of diatom frustules from the central Andean Altiplano during the Lateglacial and Early Holocene
(Elsevier, 2013)
Diatom-based carbon and oxygen isotope analyses (δ13Cdiatom and δ18Odiatom) were performed on diatom-rich laminated sediments of Lake Chungará (Andean Altiplano, northern Chile) deposited during the Lateglacial and Early ...
Impact of the historical introduction of exotic fishes on the chironomid community of Lake Azul (Azores Islands)
(Elsevier, 2017)
Little is known about the effect of top predator introduction in historically fishless communities, especially
on remote islands. This issue is important because it might strongly affect climate reconstructions derived
from ...
Climatic and lacustrine morphometric controls of diatom paleoproductivity in a tropical Andean lake
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
The coupling of lake dynamics with catchment biogeochemistry is considered the key element
controlling primary production in mountain lakes at time scales of a few decades to millennia, yet little
is known on the impacts ...
Diatom-inferred ecological responses of an oceanic lake system to volcanism and anthropogenic perturbations since 1290 CE
(Elsevier, 2019-07-29)
[Abstract] The impacts of natural- and human-induced processes on lake ecosystems in remote oceanic islands remain to be fully elucidated. These lakes are excellent candidates to analyze the importance of anthropogenic ...
Biogeography and lake morphometry drive diatom and chironomid assemblages’ composition in lacustrine surface sediments of oceanic islands
(Springer, 2014)
[Abstract] Subfossil biotic assemblages in lakes’ surface sediments have been used to infer ecological conditions across environmental gradients. Local variables are usually the major drivers of assemblage composition, but ...
The Role of Climate, Marine Influence and Sedimentation Rates in Late-Holocene Estuarine Evolution (SW Portugal)
(Sage, 2019)
[Abstract] Estuaries are sensitive to changes in global to regional sea level, to climate-driven variation in rainfall and to fluvial discharge. In this study, we use source and environmentally sensitive proxies together ...
