DOI: 10.1007/s12371-019-00370-5
Abstract: Alluvial plains represent preferable areas for human settling for their suitability to agriculture activities, and many studies strengthen the interpretation of floodplains as complex human–water systems. The Late Holocene development of the Central Po Plain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12517-019-4813-2
Abstract: The sediments from Pookot Lake situated in the Sahyadri (Western Ghats) of southern India provided a record of palaeovegetation and palaeomonsoon variations during the Late Holocene. The palaeovegetation was reconstructed using the carbon isotopic composition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12520-018-0687-6
Abstract: The Pampa-Patagonia region in Argentina has been characterized as an ethnically complex territory during the late Holocene. This region presents a high frequency of human burials and, although several papers have focused on the study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2021.105599
Abstract: Abstract Understanding late Holocene climate variation on the northern Tibetan Plateau is essential for understanding regional climate dynamics, especially the potential response to mid-latitude westerlies. A continuous lacustrine sediment record covering the past 1500 years was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.10.016
Abstract: Abstract There is increasing evidence that abrupt vegetation shifts and large-scale erosive phases occurred in Central Africa during the third millennium before present. Debate exists as to whether these events were caused by climate change… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.10.018
Abstract: Abstract The Kuroshio Current (KC), which redistributes heat and moisture from the tropics toward mid-latitudes, considerably affects ocean–atmosphere–land interactions along its pathways. However, our knowledge about the KC strength and associated forcing, based on investigations… read more here.
