TL;DR: A detailed investigation of geomorphological evidence of paleoshorelines and exposed stratigraphic sections of lake deposits, combined with a chronology based on radiocarbon dated charcoal and in-situ 14C dating of wave polished bedrock, provide important new constraints on lake level changes of Lake Bosumtwi, Ghana.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic/edaphic controls on soil carbon/nitrogen response to shrub encroachment in desert grassland
TL;DR: Grassy sites in contrasting soil/elevation combinations, initially highly distinctive in their SOC pool size and delta13C, appear to be converging on similar values following approximately 100 years of woody plant proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The formation of biogeochemical laminations in Lake Bosumtwi, Ghana, and their usefulness as indicators of past environmental changes
Timothy M. Shanahan,Jonathan T. Overpeck,J. Warren Beck,C. Winston Wheeler,John A. Peck,John W. King,Christopher A. Scholz +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between varve thickness and rainfall in Lake Bosumtwi, Ghana has been investigated for reconstructing paleoenvironmental changes in West Africa covering much of the last 1.5 Ma.
