Journal Article
Gulick, S., Jaeger, J., Mix, A., Asahi, H., Bahlburg, H., Belanger, C., …Swartz, J. (2015). Mid-Pleistocene climate transition drives net mass loss from rapidly uplifting St. Elias Mountains, Alaska. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 112(49), 15042-15047. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1512549112

Erosion, sediment production, and routing on a tectonically active continental margin reflect both tectonic and climatic processes; partitioning the relative importance of these processes remains controversial. Gulf of Alaska contains a preserved sed... Read More about Mid-Pleistocene climate transition drives net mass loss from rapidly uplifting St. Elias Mountains, Alaska.

Antarctic Intermediate Water properties since 400 ka recorded in infaunal (Uvigerina peregrina) and epifaunal (Planulina wuellerstorfi) benthic foraminifera (2015)
Journal Article

Antarctic Intermediate Water properties since 400 ka recorded in infaunal (Uvigerina peregrina) and epifaunal (Planulina wuellerstorfi) benthic foraminifera. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 428, 193-203. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2015.07.013

Reconstruction of intermediate water properties is important for understanding feedbacks within the ocean-climate system, particularly since these water masses are capable of driving high–low latitude teleconnections. Nevertheless, information about...

Changing surface water conditions for the last 500 ka in the Southeast Atlantic: Implications for variable influences of Agulhas leakage and Benguela upwelling (2015)
Journal Article
Petrick, B., McClymont, E., Marret, F., & van der Meer, M. (2015). Changing surface water conditions for the last 500 ka in the Southeast Atlantic: Implications for variable influences of Agulhas leakage and Benguela upwelling. Paleoceanography, 30(9), 1153-1167. https://doi.org/10.1002/2015pa002787

The Southeast Atlantic Ocean is an important component of global ocean circulation, as it includes heat and salt transfer into the Atlantic through the Agulhas leakage as well as the highly productive Benguela upwelling system. Here we reconstruct se...

Late Pliocene upwelling in the Southern Benguela region (2015)
Journal Article
Petrick, B., McClymont, E., Felder, S., Rueda, G., Leng, M., & Rosell-Melé, A. (2015). Late Pliocene upwelling in the Southern Benguela region. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 429, 62-71. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2015.03.042

The Late Pliocene has been proposed as a possible analogue for understanding future climate change and for testing climate models. Previous work has shown that during the Pliocene the major upwelling systems were relatively warm, and that this meant... Read More about Late Pliocene upwelling in the Southern Benguela region.

Oceanographic variability on the West Antarctic Peninsula during the Holocene and the influence of upper circumpolar deep water (2015)
Journal Article
Peck, V., Allen, C., Kender, S., McClymont, E., & Hodgson, D. (2015). Oceanographic variability on the West Antarctic Peninsula during the Holocene and the influence of upper circumpolar deep water. Quaternary Science Reviews, 119, 54-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.04.002

Recent intensification of wind-driven upwelling of warm upper circumpolar deep water (UCDW) has been linked to accelerated melting of West Antarctic ice shelves and glaciers. To better assess the long term relationship between UCDW upwelling and the...

A combined biogeochemical and paleobotanical approach to study permafrost environments and past dynamics (2015)
Journal Article
Ronkainen, T., Väliranta, M., McClymont, E., Biasi, C., Salonen, S., Fontana, S., & Tuittila, E. (2015). A combined biogeochemical and paleobotanical approach to study permafrost environments and past dynamics. Journal of Quaternary Science, 30(3), 189-200. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2763

When investigating past peatland processes and related carbon cycle dynamics, it is essential to identify and separate different peat environments: bogs, fens and permafrost, and their historical plant assemblages. Bog peat layers contain relatively... Read More about A combined biogeochemical and paleobotanical approach to study permafrost environments and past dynamics.

Preferential degradation of polyphenols from Sphagnum - 4-isopropenylphenol as a proxy for past hydrological conditions in Sphagnum-dominated peat (2015)
Journal Article
Schellekens, J., Bindler, R., Martínez-Cortizas, A., McClymont, E., Abbott, G., Biester, H., …Buurman, P. (2015). Preferential degradation of polyphenols from Sphagnum - 4-isopropenylphenol as a proxy for past hydrological conditions in Sphagnum-dominated peat. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 150, 74-89. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2014.12.003

The net accumulation of remains of Sphagnum spp. is fundamental to the development of many peatlands. The effect of polyphenols from Sphagnum on decomposition processes is frequently cited but has barely been studied. The central area of the Rödmossa...
