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 ...
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 ...
Primary Drivers of Dune Cover and Shoreline Dynamics: A Conceptual Model Based on the Iberian Atlantic Coast
(Elsevier, 2023-02-15)
[Abstract] Coastal dunes evolve in direct response to primary drivers, such as wind and waves, which can significantly influence the landscape. Here, we examine the effects of the wind and wave regimes on the vegetation ...
Recent Global Warming Induces the Coupling of Dissimilar Long-Term Sedimentary Signatures in Two Adjacent Volcanic Lakes (Azores Archipelago, Portugal)
(Elsevier, 2023-01-30)
[Abstract] Paleoclimatological information derived from the study of lacustrine sedimentary records is not only biased by taphonomical processes but also by potential differences in the expression of climate variability ...
Formation and Evolution of Back-Barrier Perched Lakes in Rocky Coasts: An Example of a Holocene System in North-West Spain
(Wiley, 2018-09-22)
[Abstract] Coastal back-barrier perched lakes are freshwater bodies that are elevated over sea-level and are not directly subjected to the inflow of seawater. This study provides a detailed reconstruction of the Doniños ...
Challenging Easter Island’s Collapse: The Need for Interdisciplinary Synergies
(Frontiers, 2013-12-17)
[Abstract] The reigning paradigm holds that Easter Island suffered a socio-ecological collapse (ecocidal or not) sometime in the last millennium, prior to European contact (AD 1720). We discuss some novel paleoecological ...
