Journal ArticleDOI
Loss on ignition as a method for estimating organic and carbonate content in sediments: reproducibility and comparability of results.
TL;DR: In this paper, five test runs were performed to assess possible bias when performing the loss on ignition (LOI) method to estimate organic matter and carbonate content of lake sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spatial and temporal complexity of the Holocene thermal maximum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulate the Holocene thermal maximum in a coupled global ocean-atmosphere-vegetation model and find that before 7,000 years ago, summers were substantially cooler over regions directly influenced by the presence of the Laurentide ice sheet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetraether membrane lipid distributions in water-column particulate matter and sediments: a study of 47 European lakes along a north-south transect
TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of glycerol dialkyl glyceroline tetraethers (GDGTs) in water column particulate matter and the top 5 cm of sediment from 47 lakes along a transect from southern Italy to the northern part of Scandinavia was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of low count sums on quantitative environmental reconstructions: an example using subfossil chironomids
Oliver Heiri,André F. Lotter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of low count sums on reconstructed temperatures is investigated using an existing data set, and simulated low counts by randomly picking subsets of head capsules from surface-sediment samples with a high number of specimens.
