W. Pickel,Jolanta Kus,Deolinda Flores,Stavros Kalaitzidis,Kimon Christanis,Brian J. Cardott,Magdalena Misz-Kennan,Sandra Rodrigues,A. Hentschel,Mária Hámor-Vidó,Peter J. Crosdale,Nicola J. Wagner +11 more
TL;DR: In the ICCP System 1994, the maceral group huminite has been revised from the previous classification (ICCP, 1971) to accommodate the nomenclature to changes in the other maceral groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ulrich C Müller,Jörg Pross,Polychronis C Tzedakis,Polychronis C Tzedakis,Clive Gamble,Ulrich Kotthoff,Ulrich Kotthoff,Gerhard Schmiedl,Sabine Wulf,Kimon Christanis +9 more
TL;DR: The role of climate forcing in the spread of anatomically modern humans (AMH) into Europe occurred when shifts in the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation triggered a series of large and abrupt climate changes during the last glacial. as mentioned in this paper showed that the environmental impact of the Heinrich Event H5 climatic deterioration c. 48 kyr ago was as extreme as that of the glacial maximum of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 4 when most of Europe was deserted by Neanderthals.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the fundamental difference between coal rank and coal type
Jennifer M.K. O'Keefe,Achim Bechtel,Kimon Christanis,Shifeng Dai,William A. DiMichele,Cortland F. Eble,Joan Esterle,Maria Mastalerz,Anne Raymond,Bruno Valentim,Nicola J. Wagner,Colin R. Ward,James C. Hower +12 more
TL;DR: The coal type refers solely to coals' depositional origin and the maceral-mineral admixture resulting from that origin, whereas coal rank refers to the changes in geochemistry and resultant changes in reflectance caused by increasing thermal maturity of the coal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong sorption of native PAHs to pyrogenic and unburned carbonaceous geosorbents in sediments.
Gerard Cornelissen,Gijs D. Breedveld,Stavros Kalaitzidis,Kimon Christanis,and Anne Kibsgaard,Amy M. P. Oen +5 more
TL;DR: Total sorption is better explained by considering all three nonlinearly sorbing CGC materials than by only considering BC, and phenanthrene sorption to AC was, on average, reduced by a factor of 6 in sediment-AC mixtures compared to pure AC.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a composite map of national datasets as the first comprehensive peatland map for the whole of Europe, based on the "European Mires Book" of the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG).
