The chronology of a sediment core from incised valley of the Yangtze River delta : comparative OSL and AMS 14C dating (2017)
Journal Article
Nian, X., Zhang, W., Wang, Z., Sun, Q., Chen, Z., & Hutchinson, S. (2017). The chronology of a sediment core from incised valley of the Yangtze River delta : comparative OSL and AMS 14C dating. Marine Geology, 395, 320-330. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2017.11.008

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating has gained increased use in dating deltatic deposits, however, its application can be hindered by the problem of incomplete bleaching. To address this limitation, we test the single-grain OSL method for...

Rich fen development in CE Europe, resilience to climate change and human impact over the last ca. 3500 years. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 473, 57-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2017.02.030

Here, for the first time in SE Poland, we document the long-term development of a rich fen and assess its sensitivity to climate change and human impacts over the last ca. 3500 years. Our results are based on a high-resolution, continuous plant macro... Read More about Rich fen development in CE Europe, resilience to climate change and human impact over the last ca. 3500 years.

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 473, 26-40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2017.01.047

Geo-ecological and landscape change studies at a local scale are scarce in Central-Eastern Europe and particularly in Romania. However, this focus is directly relevant to ecosystems and humans as both are dependent on local environmental changes. W...

Contaminated sediment dynamics in peatland headwater catchments (2017)
Journal Article
headwater catchments. Journal of Soils and Sediments, 17(11), 2637-2647. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11368-017-1674-8

Purpose Despite substantial research into Pb storage in peatlands, formal description of the mechanisms of contaminated sediment mobilisation is limited. This study explores the controlling factors of contaminated sediment dynamics in an eroding... Read More about Contaminated sediment dynamics in peatland headwater catchments.

Long-term land-cover/use change in a traditional farming landscape in Romania inferred from pollen data, historical maps and satellite images (2016)
Journal Article

Traditional farming landscapes in the temperate zone that have persisted for millennia can be exceptionally species-rich and are therefore key conservation targets. In contrast to Europe’s West, Eastern Europe harbours widespread traditional farming...
