A comprehensive database of paleoclimate records is needed to place recent warming into the longer-term context natural climate variability. We present a global compilation quality-controlled, published, temperature-sensitive proxy extending back 12,000 years through Holocene. Data were compiled from 679 sites where time series cover at least 4000 years, are resolved sub-millennial scale (median spacing 400 or finer) and have one age control point every 3000 with cut-off values slackened in...
This study provides the first decadally resolved chironomid and organic geochemistry record of Irish Neolithic from a small lake adjacent to Carrowkeel-Keshcorran complex in County Sligo, Ireland. Chironomid (non-biting midge fly) sub-fossils sediment (δ 13 C, δ 15 N C:N) Templevanny Lough core were used assess timing magnitude within-lake responses farming activity. When compared with pollen macroscopic charcoal records same core, limnological data show direct influence prehistoric on...
A shift in geographical pedagogy has occurred the last decade with greater integration of active and blended (hybrid) learning techniques higher education. ‘flipped classroom’ approach employs an classroom inclusion pre/post asynchronous course content replacement a traditional lecture-based format. This pedagogical research paper investigates effectiveness online flipped field physical geography through student evaluation reflects upon enforced transition to during COVID-19 pandemic. An...
Abstract This study provides a new record of nitrogen (N) deposition and ecological response at remote, high-elevation lake within the ecologically fragile Three River Headwaters Region, northwest China, from early 20 th Century to past decade. A multi-proxy investigation sediment core including analyses chironomids (non-biting midge), geochemistry (δ 15 N, δ 13 C, TN, TOC, OC:TN), pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs 210 Pb-dating. Results were compared with regional pollution forcings,...
