Ulf Büntgen,Vladimir S. Myglan,Frederik Chaprentier Ljungqvist,Michael McCormick,Nicola Di Cosmo,Michael Sigl,Michael Sigl,Johann H. Jungclaus,Sebastian Wagner,Paul J. Krusic,Jan Esper,Jed O.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used tree-ring chronologies from the Russian Altai and European Alps to reconstruct summer temperatures over the past two millennia and found an unprecedented, longlasting and spatially synchronized cooling following a cluster of large volcanic eruptions in 536, 540 and 547 AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Climate and Environment of Byzantine Anatolia: Integrating Science, History, and Archaeology
John Haldon,Neil Roberts,Adam Izdebski,Dominik Fleitmann,Michael McCormick,Marica Cassis,Owen P. Doonan,Warren J. Eastwood,Hugh Elton,Sabine Ladstätter,Sturt W. Manning,James Newhard,Kathleen Nicoll,Ioannis Telelis,Elena Xoplaki +14 more
TL;DR: The integration of high-resolution archaeological, textual, and environmental data with longer-term, low-resolution data affords greater precision in identifying some of the causal relationships underlying societal change as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconciling material cultures in archaeology with genetic data: The nomenclature of clusters emerging from archaeogenomic analysis
Stefanie Eisenmann,Stefanie Eisenmann,Eszter Bánffy,Peter van Dommelen,Kerstin P. Hofmann,Joseph Maran,Iosif Lazaridis,Iosif Lazaridis,Alissa Mittnik,Alissa Mittnik,Michael McCormick,Johannes Krause,Johannes Krause,Johannes Krause,David Reich,Philipp W. Stockhammer,Philipp W. Stockhammer,Philipp W. Stockhammer +17 more
TL;DR: This article focuses on the question of how best to name clusters encountered when analysing the genetic makeup of past human populations, and introduces three possible nomenclature systems along with their advantages and challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Next-generation ice core technology reveals true minimum natural levels of lead (Pb) in the atmosphere: Insights from the Black Death
Alexander More,Alexander More,Nicole E. Spaulding,Pascal Bohleber,Pascal Bohleber,Michael Handley,Helene Hoffmann,Elena V. Korotkikh,Andrei V. Kurbatov,Christopher Loveluck,Sharon B. Sneed,Michael McCormick,Paul Andrew Mayewski +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that lead levels in the air have been elevated for the past 2000 years, except for a single 4-year period, corresponding to the largest known pandemic ever to ravage western Europe (the Black Death), resulting in a 40-50% reduction in population.
Journal ArticleDOI
An intercomparison of four mixed layer models in a shallow inland sea
Michael McCormick,Guy Meadows +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, four mixed layer (ML) models after Denman [1973] (KLD), Garwood [1977] (RWG), McCormick and Scavia [1981](K), and Thompson [1976] (RT) were compared against an extensive water temperature data set collected in the central basin of Lake Erie during the summer of 1979.
