Over recent decades ostracods have become established indicators of ecosystem health, biodiversity and environmental change. With applications ranging across the earth sciences (from modern pollution studies to sea-level change, basin evolution, plate tectonics, palaeoceanography) related disciplines such as archaeology, ecology genetics, their utility extends almost every aquatic semi-aquatic habitat, from deep ocean high mountain springs. Their temporal range is now known cover last 500...

The level of the Caspian Sea is influenced by rivers mostly from high latitudes Northern hemisphere and therefore any change its catchments including temperature precipitation directly reflects on Sea-level. We reconstructed Late Pleistocene to Holocene Sea-level a multi-disciplinary approach 27.7 m long core in SE corner Iranian coast Gomishan Lagoon. deposits containing typical fauna dated around 20,120 cal yr BP bordered with major hiatus indicating sea-level fall. Lagoonal shells at...
Abstract The Marinoan panglaciation ( ca 650 to 635 Ma) is represented in north‐east Svalbard by the 130 175 m thick Wilsonbreen Formation which contains syn‐glacial carbonates its upper 100 m. These sediments are now known have been deposited under a CO 2 ‐rich atmosphere, late glaciation, and global climate models facilitate testing of proposed analogues. Precipitated occur four seven facies associations identified: Fluvial Channel (including stromatolitic intraclastic limestones ephemeral...
Abstract Annual, monthly, and daily analyses of stable isotopes in precipitation are commonly made worldwide, yet only a few studies have explored the variations occurring on short time scales within individual events, particularly at midlatitude locations. This study examines hydrogen isotope data from sequential, intra-event samples 16 events during different seasons range synoptic conditions over an 18-month period Birmingham, United Kingdom. Precipitation were observed simultaneously...
Abstract Continuous monitoring of dissolved organic matter (DOM) character and concentration at hourly resolution is rare, despite the importance analysing variability high‐temporal to evaluate river carbon budgeting, water health by detecting episodic pollution determine short‐term variations in chemical ecological function. The authors report a 2‐week experiment performed on DOM sampled from Bournbrook, Birmingham, UK, an urban for which spectrophotometric (fluorescence, absorbance),...
Conodonts have the potential to elucidate intricacies of Palaeozoic climates, especially if δ 18 O values single apatitic tooth-like ‘elements’ can be used map evolving sea surface temperatures and differentiate oceanic water masses. Their ecological distribution as pelagic nektobenthic organisms, high-resolution biostratigraphy, abundance in Cambrian–Triassic rocks qualifies them potentially robust climate archives. Previous ion microprobe conodont studies proceeded directly...
<strong class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> The living ostracod <i>Cyprideis torosa</i> (Jones, 1850) is geographically widespread, often abundant, occurring in modern and late Quaternary marginal-marine athalassic environments world-wide. species capable of withstanding varying salinity over short (diurnal) timescales as well adjusting to longer-term changes. Much attention has been paid the past development eco-phenotypic nodes shape sieve-type pores on external, lateral...
Fluctuations in the level and chemistry during its history have played a major part shaping floral faunal communities of Aral Sea. Of eleven species Ostracoda (Crustacea) known to been living Sea 1960, only one survives today due anthropogenically induced salinity increase past three decades. The origins mixed fresh‐ brackish‐water ostracod fauna are discussed, it is concluded that some elements must reached Basin high water phase when connection existed with Caspian taxonomic position key...
Abstract. During the last glacial phase Black Sea basin was isolated from world's oceans due to lowering of global sea-levels. As sea-levels rose during latest and early Holocene period, once again connected eastern Mediterranean via Dardanelles–Marmara–Bosporus seaway. In recent years, trace element stable isotope analyses ostracod assemblages have yielded important details regarding hydrological evolution these events. Despite this focus on geochemical signatures ostracods, little if any...
Subsurface flow pathways of groundwater-fed streams were characterized on a floodplain terrace the Toklat River, Alaska, in summer 2008, to establish influence local physicochemical variability upon macroinvertebrate communities. Streams proximal valley side (A sites) and main meltwater channel (B studied. Chloride natural isotopic tracers (δ18O δ2H) used identify water sources pathways. Results indicated that B sites was dominated by seepage glacial through alluvial aquifer. Streamflow at...
