Deglacial changes in flow and frontal structure through the Drake Passage (2014)
Journal Article
Roberts, J., McCace, I., McClymont, E., Kender, S., Hillenbrand, C., Matano, R., …Peck, V. (2014). Deglacial changes in flow and frontal structure through the Drake Passage. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 474, 397-408. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2017.07.004

The oceanic gateways of the Drake Passage and the Agulhas Current are critical locations for the inflow of intermediate-depth water masses to the Atlantic, which contribute to the shallow return flow that balances the export of deep water from the No...

Plant macrofossil and biomarker evidence of fen-bog transition and associated changes in vegetation (2014)
Journal Article
Ronkainen, T., McClymont, E., Tuitilla, E., & Väliranta, M. (2014). Plant macrofossil and biomarker evidence of fen-bog transition and associated changes in vegetation. Holocene, 24(7), 828-841. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683614530442

Past vegetation assemblages, preserved in peat layers, are one of the key proxies when reconstructing historical peatland dynamics. Northern peatlands can be divided into two main types: fens and bogs. Compared with bog peat, the fen peat is usually...

Persistent warmth across the Benguela upwelling system during the Pliocene epoch (2014)
Journal Article
Rosell-Melé, A., Martínez-Garcia, A., & McClymont, E. (2014). Persistent warmth across the Benguela upwelling system during the Pliocene epoch. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 386, 10-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2013.10.041

A feature of Pliocene climate is the occurrence of “permanent El Niño-like” or “El Padre” conditions in the Pacific Ocean. From the analysis of sediment cores in the modern northern Benguela upwelling, we show that the mean oceanographic state off So...
