Decadal shift in foraging strategy of a migratory southern ocean predator (2020)
Journal Article
Berg, G. L., Vermeulen, E., Valenzuela, L. O., Bérubé, M., Ganswindt, A., Gröcke, D. R., Hall, G., Hulva, P., Neveceralova, P., Palsbøll, P. J., & Carroll, E. L. (2021). Decadal shift in foraging strategy of a migratory southern ocean predator. Global Change Biology, 27(5), 1052-1067. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15465

Rapid anthropogenic environmental change is expected to impact a host of ecological parameters in Southern Ocean ecosystems. Of critical concern are the consequences of these changes on the range of species that show fidelity to migratory destination...

Isotopically‐labelled macroalgae: a new method for determining sources of excess nitrogen pollution (2020)
Journal Article
Bailes, I. R., & Gröcke, D. R. (2020). Isotopically‐labelled macroalgae: a new method for determining sources of excess nitrogen pollution. Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 34(24), Article e8951. https://doi.org/10.1002/rcm.8951

RATIONALE: Stable nitrogen isotope ratios (d15N values) can be used to discern sources of excess nitrogen pollution in water. The d15N values of nitrate in water often do not reflect the true d15N source owing to high temporal variation, and analytic...

Carbon isotope stratigraphy: Principles and applications (2020)
Book Chapter
Gröcke, D. R. (2020). Carbon isotope stratigraphy: Principles and applications. In M. Montenari (Ed.), Carbon Isotope Stratigraphy (1-40). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.sats.2020.08.002

Even after all this time, our understanding of the modern and ancient carbon cycle is still incomplete. Stable carbon isotopes are an extremely useful tool from which to monitor and trace the carbon cycle. In this manner, carbon isotope stratigraphy...

Long-term patterns of hillslope erosion by earthquake-induced landslides shape mountain landscapes (2020)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Howarth, J. D., McClymont, E. L., Densmore, A. L., Fitzsimons, S. J., Croissant, T., Grocke, D. R., West, M. D., Harvey, E. L., Frith, N. V., Garnett, M. H., & Hilton, R. G. (2020). Long-term patterns of hillslope erosion by earthquake-induced landslides shape mountain landscapes. Science Advances, 6(23), Article eaaz6446. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aaz6446

Widespread triggering of landslides by large storms or earthquakes is a dominant mechanism of erosion in mountain landscapes. If landslides occur repeatedly in particular locations within a mountain range, then they will dominate the landscape evolut...

Efficient preservation of young terrestrial organic carbon in sandy turbidity current deposits (2020)
Journal Article
Hage, S., Galy, V., Cartigny, M., Acikalin, S., Clare, M., Gröcke, D., Hilton, R., Hunt, J., Lintern, D., McGhee, C., Parsons, D., Stacey, C., Sumner, E., & Talling, P. (2020). Efficient preservation of young terrestrial organic carbon in sandy turbidity current deposits. Geology, 48(9), 882-887. https://doi.org/10.1130/g47320.1

Burial of terrestrial biospheric particulate organic carbon in marine sediments removes CO2 from the atmosphere, regulating climate over geologic time scales. Rivers deliver terrestrial organic carbon to the sea, while turbidity currents transport ri...

“Captain of All These Men of Death”: An Integrated Case Study of Tuberculosis in Nineteenth-Century Otago, New Zealand (2020)
Journal Article
Snoddy, A. M., Buckley, H., King, C., Kinaston, R., Nowell, G., Gröcke, D., Duncan, W., & Petchey, P. (2020). “Captain of All These Men of Death”: An Integrated Case Study of Tuberculosis in Nineteenth-Century Otago, New Zealand. Bioarchaeology international, 3(4), 217-237. https://doi.org/10.5744/bi.2019.1014

The South Island of New Zealand saw several major waves of migration in the mid-nineteenth century, predominantly from Europe but also with an ethnically distinct Chinese presence. The rural community of Milton, Otago, was a settler community establi...
