Downcore counting of laminations in varved sediments offers a direct and incremental
dating technique for high-resolution climatic and environmental archives with at least annual …

We constructed a varve data base (VDB) to study the worldwide distribution of varved
sediment records and the fidelity of their varve chronologies. Clusters of lakes with varved …

This introductory textbook introduces the basics of dating, the range of techniques available
and the strengths and limitations of each of the principal methods. Coverage includes: the …

Increasingly, environmental scientists, palaeoceanographers and geologists are collecting
quantitative records of environmental changes (time series) from sediments, ice cores, cave …

Experiments with mixtures of quartz silt and clays, under conditions where pure silt and clay
suspensions form bedload ripples (non-cohesive silt, flocculated clay) show that coarse silt …

The upper Holocene marine section from a kasten core taken from the oxygen minimum
zone off Karachi (Pakistan) at water depth 700 m contains continuously laminated sediments …

Down-core paleolimnological investigations of lake-sediment sequences require sufficient
age control to enable comparisons and correlations on local, regional and global scales …

Temporal variations in the atmospheric concentration of radiocarbon sometimes result in
radiocarbon-based age-estimates of biogenic material that do not agree with true calendar …

Bradley Lake, on the southern Oregon coastal plain, records local tsunamis and seismic
shaking on the Cascadia subduction zone over the last 7000 yr. Thirteen marine incursions …
