Palaeolimnological responses of nine North African lakes in the CASSARINA Project to recent environmental changes and human impact detected by plant macrofossil, pollen, and faunal analyses
Birks, Hilary H.; Peglar, Sylvia M.; Boomer, Ian; Flower, Roger J.; Ramdani, Mohammed; Appleby, P. G.; Bjune, Anne Elisabeth; Patrick, Simon T.; Kraïem, Mohammed M.; Fathi, Adel A.; Abdelzaher, H. M. A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)This paper presents multi-proxy palaeolimnological analyses from recent sediments in the nine CASSARINA lakes in northernmost Africa, three from each of Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt. The lakes are diverse, ranging from ... -
Quantitative multiproxy assessment of long-term patterns of Holocene environmental change from a small lake near Abisko, northern Sweden
Bigler, Christian; Larocque, Isabelle; Peglar, Sylvia M.; Birks, Harry John Betteley; Hall, Roland I. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2002)Quantitative reconstructions are made of Holocene changes in climatic and environmental conditions from analyses of pollen, chironomids and diatoms in identical stratigraphic levels of a sediment core from Vuoskkujávri ... -
Radiometrically determined dates and sedimentation rates for recent sediments in nine North African wetland lakes (the CASSARINA Project)
Appleby, P. G.; Birks, Hilary H.; Flower, Roger J.; Rose, Neil L.; Peglar, Sylvia M.; Ramdani, Mohammed; Kraïem, Mohammed M.; Fathi, Adel A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)Sediment cores were collected from nine wetland lakes in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt for the CASSARINA project investigating environmental change in Northern African wetlands. The cores were dated radiometrically by using ... -
Recent ecosystem dynamics in nine North African lakes in the CASSARINA Project
Birks, Hilary H.; Flower, Roger J.; Peglar, Sylvia M.; Ramdani, Mohammed (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)An integrated multi-disciplinary study of nine North African lakes (CASSARINA) aims to establish ecological baselines and to explore responses to 20th century human impacts on their ecosystems. Water chemistry measurements ... -
Recent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard as recorded in lake sediments – modern limnology, vegetation, and pollen deposition
Birks, Harry John Betteley; Monteith, Don T.; Rose, Neil L.; Jones, Vivienne J.; Peglar, Sylvia M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Twenty-four lakes on Svalbard were sampled for palaeolimnological studies and are described in terms of their geographical location, catchment characteristics, water chemistry, and flora. No sediment could be retrieved ...
