A revised Holocene sea-level history for the southern Gulf of Carpentaria is presented based on new data from South Wellesley Archipelago and age recalibration previous research. Results confirm that rising sea levels during most recent post-glacial marine transgression breached Arafura Sill ca. 11,700 cal. yr BP. Sea continued to rise –30 m by 10,000 BP, leading full conditions. By 7700 reached present mean (PMSL) an elevation between 1.5 2 above PMSL. level remained + 7000 4000 followed...
Abstract. Recent global fire activity has highlighted the importance of understanding dynamics across time and space, with records past (palaeofire) providing valuable insights to inform current future management challenges. New from recent increase in palaeofire studies Australia surrounds have not been captured any database for broader comparisons, Australasia is poorly represented international databases used modelling trends. These problems are addressed by SahulCHAR, a new collection...
The South Wellesley Islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia, were recent focus a palynological investigation which found vegetation change during Holocene was driven by coastal progradation and regional climate. Here, we present new elemental data from x-ray fluorescence core scanning provides non-destructive, continuous high resolution analysis three wetlands across Bentinck Island, largest Islands. Elemental grain size analyses are combined with lead-210 ( 210 Pb)...
Archaeological survey, excavations, and analyses of the Murdumurdu shell midden on Bentinck Island, Gulf Carpentaria are reported. Patterns subsistence as well timing periodicity site use investigated through quantification cultural materials, AMS radiocarbon dating, stable isotopic analysis Marcia hiantina carbonates (δ18O δ13C), magnetic susceptibility deposits palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Exploitation shellfish focused sandy-mud flat species (especially M. Gafrarium pectinatum)...
This study presents three records of environmental change during the late-Holocene from wetlands across Bentinck Island in South Wellesley Islands, northern Australia. Radiometric dating provided ages for sediment cores with longest chronology spanning last 1250 cal. yr BP. Palynological results show diverse mangrove community transitioned to woodland- and wetland-dominated vegetation over 850 years on southeast coast. The key driver this landscape was likely sea level regression coastal...
Abstract Mountain ecosystems are sensitive to environmental changes and affected by direct indirect anthropogenic activities. This study sought understand the impacts of human occupation, climate change on Great Hinggan Mountains (GHM) in Northeastern China. The last 200 years reconstructed analyzing sediment cores from five small mountain lakes. Cores were dated using 210 Pb 137 Cs radioisotopes, microscopic charcoal identified regional fire activity fossil pollen analysis temporal spatial...
