The history of water salinity in the Pearl River estuary, China, during the Late Quaternary. (2010)
Journal Article
Zong, Y., Yu, F., Huang, G., Lloyd, J., & Yim, W. (2010). The history of water salinity in the Pearl River estuary, China, during the Late Quaternary. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 35, 1221-1233. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.2030

This research reconstructed the Late Quaternary salinity history of the Pearl River estuary, China, from diatom records of four sedimentary cores. The reconstruction was produced through the application of a diatom-salinity transfer function develope...

Sedimentary evidence of Late Holocene human activity in the Pearl River delta, China. (2010)
Journal Article
Zong, Y., Huang, G., Yu, F., Lloyd, J., & Yim, W. (2010). Sedimentary evidence of Late Holocene human activity in the Pearl River delta, China. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 35, 1095-1102. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1970

This study examines the sedimentary evidence of human activities during the last 4000 years in the Pearl River deltaic area. The analyses are focused on indentifying agricultural signatures present in the sedimentary record and establishing the timin...

Late-Holocene diatom-inferred reconstruction of temperature variations of the West Greenland Current from Disko Bugt, central West Greenland (2010)
Journal Article
Krawczyk, D., Witkowski, A., Moros, M., Lloyd, J., Kuijpers, A., & Kierzek, A. (2010). Late-Holocene diatom-inferred reconstruction of temperature variations of the West Greenland Current from Disko Bugt, central West Greenland. Holocene, 20(5), 659-666. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683610371993

The diatom flora from a high-resolution core collected from Disko Bugt, central West Greenland, records variations in surface water temperature for the late Holocene (1600—300 cal. BP). Our data support the existence of a previously identified anti-p...

Diatoms from the Pearl River estuary, China and their suitability as a water salinity indicator for coastal environments (2010)
Journal Article
Zong, Y., Kemp, A., Yu, F., Lloyd, J., Huang, G., & Yim, W. (2010). Diatoms from the Pearl River estuary, China and their suitability as a water salinity indicator for coastal environments. Marine Micropaleontology, 75(1-4), 38-49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marmicro.2010.02.004

We collected 77 modern diatom samples from sites across the Pearl River estuary, China to analyze the relationship between diatom assemblages and environmental parameters including water salinity, water depth and sediment particle size. Results showe... Read More about Diatoms from the Pearl River estuary, China and their suitability as a water salinity indicator for coastal environments.

Bulk organic δ13C and C/N as indicators for sediment sources in the Pearl River delta and estuary, southern China (2010)
Journal Article
Yu, F., Zong, Y., Lloyd, J., Huang, G., Leng, M., Kendrick, C., …Yim, W. (2010). Bulk organic δ13C and C/N as indicators for sediment sources in the Pearl River delta and estuary, southern China. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 87(4), 618-630. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2010.02.018

Preservation of organic matter in estuarine and coastal areas is an important process in the global carbon cycle. This paper presents bulk d13C and C/N of organic matter from source to sink in the Pearl River catchment, delta and estuary, and discuss...
