The physics of wind-blown loess: Implications for grain size proxy interpretations in Quaternary paleoclimate studies
Loess deposits are recorders of aeolian activity during past glaciations. Since the size
distribution of loess deposits depends on distance to the dust source, and environmental …

Impact of climate change on the transition of Neanderthals to modern humans in Europe
Two speleothem stable isotope records from East-Central Europe demonstrate that
Greenland Stadial 12 (GS12) and GS10—at 44.3–43.3 and 40.8–40.2 ka—were prominent …

Subarctic climate for the earliest Homo sapiens in Europe
The expansion of Homo sapiens across Eurasia marked a major milestone in human
evolution that would eventually lead to our species being found across every continent …

The origin of grasslands in the temperate forest zone of east-central Europe: long-term legacy of climate and human impact
The post-glacial fate of central European grasslands has stimulated palaeoecological
debates for a century. Some argued for the continuous survival of open land, while others …

[HTML][HTML] Fire hazard modulation by long-term dynamics in land cover and dominant forest type in eastern and central Europe
Wildfire occurrence is influenced by climate, vegetation and human activities. A key
challenge for understanding the risk of fires is quantifying the mediating effect of vegetation …
