Late Quaternary palaeoenvironmental change in the northeastern Mediterranean: a diatom-based reconstruction from lacustrine sediments (2022)
Thesis
Seymour-Jones, R. F. Late Quaternary palaeoenvironmental change in the northeastern Mediterranean: a diatom-based reconstruction from lacustrine sediments. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4749956

Much of our understanding of Quaternary palaeoenvironmental change has been generated from long, continuous marine sediment and ice core sequences. These records span multiple glacial–interglacial cycles, providing an essential long-term perspective...

Deep drilling reveals massive shifts in evolutionary dynamics after formation of ancient ecosystem. Science Advances, 6(40), eabb2943. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abb2943

The scarcity of high-resolution empirical data directly tracking diversity over time limits our understanding of speciation and extinction dynamics and the drivers of rate changes. Here, we analyze a continuous species-level fossil record of endemic... Read More about Deep drilling reveals massive shifts in evolutionary dynamics after formation of ancient ecosystem.

Mediterranean climates are characterized by strong seasonal contrasts between dry summers and wet winters. Changes in winter rainfall are critical for regional socioeconomic development, but are difficult to simulate accurately and reconstruct on Qua...

The southern Levant is a Mediterranean climate zone of complex variability in which uncertainty remains in regional palaeoclimate reconstruction. In spite of the proven value of diatoms in circum-Mediterranean palaeoenvironmental research, their pote...
