Ice core records have long indicated that the Younger Dryas began and ended with large, abrupt climate shifts over Greenland. Key climatic features remain unknown, including the magnitude of warming during the Younger Dryas-Holocene transition along...

A continental-scale chironomid training set for reconstructing Arctic temperatures (2022)
Journal Article
Medeiros, A. S., Chipman, M. L., Francis, D. R., Hamerlík, L., Langdon, P., Puleo, P. J., Schellinger, G., Steigleder, R., Walker, I. R., Woodroffe, S., & Axford, Y. (2022).

We present chironomid species assemblage data from 402 lakes across northern North America, Greenland, Iceland, and Svalbard to inform interpretations of Holocene subfossil chironomid assemblages used in paleolimnological reconstruction. This calibra... Read More about A continental-scale chironomid training set for reconstructing Arctic temperatures.

Glacier response to the Little Ice Age during the Neoglacial cooling in Greenland (2022)
Journal Article
Kjær, K. H., Bjørk, A. A., Kjeldsen, K. K., Hansen, E. S., Andresen, C. S., Siggaard-Andersen, M.-L., Khan, S. A., Søndergaard, A. S., Colgan, W., Schomacker, A., Woodroffe, S., Funder, S., Rouillard, A., Jensen, J. F., & Larsen, N. K. (2022). Glacier response to the Little Ice Age during the Neoglacial cooling in Greenland. Earth-Science Reviews, 227, Article 103984. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2022.103984

In the Northern Hemisphere, an insolation driven Early to Middle Holocene Thermal Maximum was followed by a Neoglacial cooling that culminated during the Little Ice Age (LIA). Here, we review the glacier response to this Neoglacial cooling in Greenla... Read More about Glacier response to the Little Ice Age during the Neoglacial cooling in Greenland.

Reliability of mangrove radiocarbon chronologies: A case study from Mahé, Seychelles (2022)
Journal Article
Sefton, J., Woodroffe, S., Ascough, P., & Khan, N. (2022). Reliability of mangrove radiocarbon chronologies: A case study from Mahé, Seychelles. Holocene, 32(6), 529-542. https://doi.org/10.1177/09596836221080756

Mangrove sediments are valuable archives of paleoenvironmental and relative sea-level changes. The most widely applied method to obtaining chronologies of past changes in mangrove sediments is radiocarbon dating, because mangroves produce large amoun...
