Open AccessRecent climate change has driven divergent hydrological shifts in high-latitude peatlands
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba data from ...

Open AccessMisinterpreting carbon accumulation rates in records from near-surface peat
Peatlands are globally important stores of carbon (C) that contain a record of how their rates of C accumulation have changed over time. Recently, near-surface peat has been used to assess the effect of curren...

Open AccessSolar cycles or random processes? Evaluating solar variability in Holocene climate records
Many studies have reported evidence for solar-forcing of Holocene climate change across a range of archives. These studies have compared proxy-climate data with records of solar variability (e.g. 14C or 10Be), or...

Open AccessThe long-term fate of permafrost peatlands under rapid climate warming
Permafrost peatlands contain globally important amounts of soil organic carbon, owing to cold conditions which suppress anaerobic decomposition. However, climate warming and permafrost thaw threaten the stabil...

Open AccessFirst discovery of Holocene cryptotephra in Amazonia
The use of volcanic ash layers for dating and correlation (tephrochronology) is widely applied in the study of past environmental changes. We describe the first cryptotephra (non-visible volcanic ash horizon) ...

Open AccessSpheroidal carbonaceous particles are a defining stratigraphic marker for the Anthropocene
There has been recent debate over stratigraphic markers used to demarcate the Anthropocene from the Holocene Epoch. However, many of the proposed markers are found only in limited areas of the world or do not ...
