• Behaviourally modern humans in coastal southern Africa experienced an increasingly continental climate during the transition from Marine Isotope Stage 5 to 4 

      Göktürk, Ozan Mert; Simon, Margit Hildegard; Sobolowski, Stefan Pieter; Zhang, Zhongshi; van der Bilt, Willem Godert Maria; Mørkved, Pål Tore; D’Andrea, William J.; Niekerk, Karen Loise van; Henshilwood, Christopher Stuart; Armitage, Simon James; Jansen, Eystein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-25)
      Unravelling evolution-by-environment interactions on the gut microbiome is particularly relevant considering the unprecedented level of human-driven disruption of the ecological and evolutionary trajectories of species. ...
    • Detection of ice core particles via deep neural networks 

      Maffezzoli, Niccolò; Cook, Eliza; van der Bilt, Willem Godert Maria; Støren, Eivind; Festi, Daniela; Muthreich, Florian; Seddon, Alistair William Robin; Burgay, François; Baccolo, Giovanni; Mygind, Amalie; Petersen, Troels; Spolaor, Andrea; Vascon, Alessio; Pelillo, Marcello; Ferretti, Patrizia; dos Reis, Rafael S.; Simões, Jefferson; Ronen, Yuval; Delmonte, Barbara; Viccaro, Marco; Steffensen, Jørgen Peder; Dahl-Jensen, Dorthe; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Brabante, Carlo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Insoluble particles in ice cores record signatures of past climate parameters like vegetation dynamics, volcanic activity, and aridity. For some of them, the analytical detection relies on intensive bench microscopy ...
    • Revised Minoan eruption volume as benchmark for large volcanic eruptions 

      Karstens, Jens; Preine, Jonas; Crutchley, Gareth; Kutterolf, Steffen; van der Bilt, Willem Godert Maria; Hooft, Emilie; Druitt, Timothy; Schmid, Florian; Cederstrøm, Jan Magne; Hübscher, Christian; Nomikou, Paraskevi; Carey, Steven; Kühn, Michel; Elger, Judith; Berndt, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Despite their global societal importance, the volumes of large-scale volcanic eruptions remain poorly constrained. Here, we integrate seismic reflection and P-wave tomography datasets with computed tomography-derived ...
    • Stable Southern Hemisphere westerly winds throughout the Holocene until intensification in the last two millennia 

      van der Bilt, Willem Godert Maria; D’Andrea, William J.; Oppedal, Lea Toska; Bakke, Jostein; Bjune, Anne Elisabeth; Zwier, Maaike (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The Southern Hemisphere westerly winds sustain the Southern Ocean’s role as one of Earth’s main carbon sinks, and have helped sequester nearly half the anthropogenic CO2 stored in the ocean. Observations show shifts in the ...
