Book Chapter
Laya, J., Tucker, M., Gröcke, D., & Perez-Huerta, A. (2013). Carbon, oxygen and strontium isotopic composition of low-latitude Permian carbonates (Venezuelan Andes): climate proxies of tropical Pangea. In Palaeozoic Climate Cycles: Their Evolutionary and Sedimentological Impact (367-385). The Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/sp376.10

The Late Palaeozoic period was an important time in Earth history, primarily as a result of the formation of Pangea and the Gondwana glaciations that had direct influences in high latitudes and indirect, but no less important, effects in low latitude...

Mobility histories of 7th-9th century AD people buried at Early Medieval Bamburgh, Northumberland, England (2013)
Journal Article
Groves, S., Roberts, C., Lucy, S., Pearson, G., Gröcke, D., Nowell, G., …Young, G. (2013). Mobility histories of 7th-9th century AD people buried at Early Medieval Bamburgh, Northumberland, England. American journal of physical anthropology, 151(3), 462-476. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.22290

Early Medieval England is described historically as a time when people migrated from the Continent to English shores. This study tests the hypothesis that those buried in the Bowl Hole cemetery, Bamburgh, Northumberland were nonlocally born, because...

New views on old carbon in the Amazon river: Insight from the source of organic carbon eroded from the Peruvian Andes (2013)
Journal Article
Clark, K., Hilton, R., West, A., Malhi, Y., Gröcke, D., Bryant, C., …New, M. (2013). New views on old carbon in the Amazon river: Insight from the source of organic carbon eroded from the Peruvian Andes. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 14(5), 1644-1659. https://doi.org/10.1002/ggge.20122

[1] Mountain rivers play a key role in the delivery of particulate organic carbon (POC) to large river systems and the ocean. Due to the extent of its drainage area and runoff, the Amazon River is one of Earth's most important biogeochemical systems....

The Pliensbachian–Toarcian (Early Jurassic) extinction, a global multi-phased event (2013)
Journal Article
Caruthers, A., Smith, P., & Gröcke, D. (2013). The Pliensbachian–Toarcian (Early Jurassic) extinction, a global multi-phased event. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 386, 104-118. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2013.05.010

During the Pliensbachian–Toarcian interval of the Early Jurassic, there is a well-known second order marine extinction that is observable at the species and genus levels. Ammonite diversity data from successions throughout Europe and parts of the Arc... Read More about The Pliensbachian–Toarcian (Early Jurassic) extinction, a global multi-phased event.

Journal Article
Porter, S., Selby, D., Suzuki, K., & Gröcke, D. (2013). Opening of a trans-Pangaean marine corridor during the Early Jurassic: Insights from osmium isotopes across the Sinemurian–Pliensbachian GSSP, Robin Hood's Bay, UK. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 375, 50-58. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2013.02.012

The Hispanic Corridor represents a significant phase of continental reorganisation of the Early Jurassic that eventually provided connectivity between the western Tethyan and eastern Pacific oceans along the Central Atlantic rift zone. Although the i... Read More about Opening of a trans-Pangaean marine corridor during the Early Jurassic: Insights from osmium isotopes across the Sinemurian–Pliensbachian GSSP, Robin Hood's Bay, UK.

Regional ecological variability and impact of the maritime fur trade on nearshore ecosystems in southern Haida Gwaii (British Columbia, Canada): evidence from stable isotope analysis of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) bone collagen (2013)
Journal Article
Szpak, P., Orchard, T., Salomon, A., & Gröcke, D. (2013). Regional ecological variability and impact of the maritime fur trade on nearshore ecosystems in southern Haida Gwaii (British Columbia, Canada): evidence from stable isotope analysis of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) bone collagen. Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 5(2), 159-182. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12520-013-0122-y

The maritime fur trade (1785–1840s) led to the local extinction of sea otters (Enhydra lutris) in many parts of the northeast Pacific. On the basis of studies of extant sea otter populations, it has been established that they have a disproportionate...
