Iceland is well situated to monitor North Atlantic Holocene climate variability. Terrestrial sites
there offer the potential for well-dated, high-resolution, continuous records of environmental …

Understanding patterns of colonisation is important for explaining both the distribution of
single species and anticipating how ecosystems may respond to global warming. Insular …

Holocene climatic change is driven by a plethora of forcing mechanisms acting on different
time scales, including: insolation, internal ocean (eg Atlantic Meridional Overturning …

In de‐glaciated areas, para‐glaciation (ie the conditioning of landscapes by prior glaciation)
has often been considered a major predisposing factor in landslide occurrence; its …

Agriculture has been practiced in Iceland since settlement (landnám; AD 877). This has
caused changes in vegetation communities, soil erosion, desertification and loss of carbon …

Predicting the response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to future climate change presents a
major challenge to climate science. Paleoclimate data from Greenland can provide empirical …

Few well-dated, quantitative Holocene temperature reconstructions exist from high-altitude
sites in the Central Eastern Alps. Here, we present a chironomid-based quantitative …

There is a known bias in C/N, δ13C and δ15N values of organic matter (OM) due to pre-
analysis acid treatment methods. We report here, for the first time, the results of a pre …

Although recent research has made significant advances in characterizing Iceland's
Holocene environmental history, the region still lacks reliable and continuous records of …

Complex interactions of climate and volcanic activity have shaped the environment of
Iceland during the Holocene. Palaeoecological records from Iceland offer a unique look at a …
