Palustrine carbonates are a distinctive facies association that is particularly common in
Mesozoic and Tertiary non-marine successions. This recurrent set of lithofacies has been …

Recent discoveries constrain the presence of hominins in North Africa since ca. 2.4 Ma and
in China since ca. 2.1 Ma, providing a new temporal framework for the earliest migration out …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Carbonate build-ups in lakes, hydrothermal and fluvial settings are characterized by
distinctive geometry, spatial distribution, fabrics and geochemical signature but also by …

The precipitation of calcium carbonate is widespread in soils and regoliths and common
under different environmental settings, especially in soils of arid environments. This topic is …

Modern Homo sapiens engage in substantial ecosystem modification, but it is difficult to
detect the origins or early consequences of these behaviors. Archaeological …

The systematic documentation of calcite fabrics in stalagmites and flowstones provides
robustness to palaeoclimate interpretation based on geochemical proxies, but it has been …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

The Arroyo Seco 2 site contains a rich archaeological record, exceptional for South America,
to explain the expansion of Homo sapiens into the Americas and their interaction with extinct …

The formation of carbonate sediments in continental environments is subject to numerous
environmental controls, of which climate is one of the foremost. Consequently, calcareous …
