Abstract We report the chronological construction for top portion of a speleothem, PC1, from southern Cambodia with aim reconstructing continuous high-resolution climate record covering fluorescence and decline medieval Khmer kingdom its capital at Angkor (~9th–15th centuries AD). Earlier attempts to date PC1 by standard U-Th method proved unsuccessful. have therefore dated this speleothem using radiocarbon. Fifty carbonate samples along growth axis were collected accelerator mass...
Abstract Experiments conducted in the low-altitude coastal atmosphere New Zealand have demonstrated potential of a new unmanned aerial system (UAS) for meteorological research. The Kahu vehicle flies autonomously using GPS and pre-programmed waypoints, collecting observations air temperature relative humidity that are relayed to ground-station near-instantaneously. Hauraki Gulf, Auckland, show Kahu's radio transmission can successfully transmit data across ocean surface at distances up 25...
Abstract Analysis of the weather and ocean conditions during recent pirate attacks in Indian Ocean region suggests that transition summer monsoon limits maritime piracy. A comparison all known 2010–11 with surface observations from Socotra Somali jet index same period indicates pirates attacking skiffs are thwarted when winds blow excess 9 m s−1. The wind speeds sea states encountered by individual were reconstructed using satellite altimetry data for 2010–11. Mean daily up to 20 s−1 two...
The Mexico and Central American region has a history of mercury use that began at least two millennia before European colonisation in the 16th century. Archaeologists have reported extensive deposits cinnabar (HgS) other materials ancient human settlements across region. However, there been no consideration to date environmental legacy this long anthropogenic use. This review begins by synthesising our knowledge nature Mesoamerica based on archaeological data, with particular focus Maya...
The lower Usumacinta–Grijalva River Basin contains one of the richest biodiversity landscapes Maya region. Our research is based on (1) an integrative literature review geomorphological and archaeological papers published about (2) topographic analysis digital elevation models using a geographical information system to explore relationship between past human settlement landscape accessibility along coastal plain Tabasco. This work provides new synthesis previous proposes for geomorphic...
Abstract Little Llangothlin Lagoon on the New England Tablelands of northeast South Wales possesses most detailed and best verified 210 Pb chronology yet available in Australia. Recent criticisms length record are shown to be based a faulty understanding principles dating. Attempts revise lower part dated sequence by several decades must rejected given that (a) fundamentally dissimilar chronological models yield ages statistically indistinguishable (b) extreme manipulation modelling data...
Lime is a fundamental component in many industrial, agricultural and chemical processes, itself produced by an industrial process, namely, the heating kilns (calcining, or more colloquially 'burning') of calcium carbonate rock other material. Research literature on lime burning Scotland, based largely production Scotland's eastern Central Belt, are dominated view that draw paradigm for Scottish production. Other parts however, completely ignored, favour simpler clamp kilns, even major sites...
A new compilation of historical observations and archaeomagnetic measurements magnetic inclination for the last 1000 years from eastern Australia (the Australian Inclination Record [ eAIR2012]) has revealed existence a well-defined anomaly in region. Evidence this feature been preserved sedimentary records across Australia, though not previously recognised. Analyses additional sequences have confirmed incidence timing feature, revealing its presence between 13th 18th centuries ad. The field...
