From two profiles of an archaeological trench in the centre of the city Oldenburg 108, Burgstr. , Lower Saxony, two largely overlapping cores, 50 (length) x 10 (width) x 5 (thickness) cm, of highly organic sediments were taken and one sample of about 2 l in a plastic ba...

Paleoclimate reconstructions appear to be unavoidable steps in the future climate change understanding and especially the local calibration of the paleoclimate proxies. The Mongolian Plateau in particular, is a scarcely studied area. Here we present a latitudinal transe...

South Africa is a key region to reconstruct and understand past changes in atmospheric circulation, i.e. temperate Westerlies and tropical Easterlies. Here we present a new record from the coastal wetland Voёlvlei (Lat: 34.013° S; Lon: 22.904° E; 5 m above present sea l...

The percent of fine sand in combination with planktonic foraminifer oxygen isotope analyses from IODP site U1389 were used to investigate changes in strength of the Mediterranean Overflow over the last 250 kyr. MOW velocity was high at times of Earth's precession maxima...

Continuous sediment profiles were taken from ravine slopes at the Nesseltalgraben site in the Northern Calcareous Alps (SE Germany, 47.6567°N 13.0467°E, 560-582 m a.s.l.) in October 2016. The profile consists of fine-grained lacustrine-palustrine sediments overlain by s...

Acknowledgements:The authors wish to acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as the traditional owners of the land upon which Lake George is situated. We also repeat the call of numerous people before us for the return of the lake's traditional name. Whether that be Weereewa o...

This data set contains concentrations of major cations and anions in the pore fluid as well as boron stable isotopic ratios (d11B), stable oxygen and hydrogen isotopes of pore fluid (d18O and dD). Sediment samples were collected by using the seafloor drill rig MARUM-MeB...

The site Balta Alba Kurgan (BAK) in Romania was studied in the frame of a multi-method dating approach, including optical stimulated luminescence, radiocarbon dating, magnetic stratigraphy and tephrochronology. Here, we present the results of the magnetic stratigraphy a...

This dataset presents the XRF core-scanning record from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1478 off the Limpopo River mouth (Mozambique Channel, SW Indian Ocean) spanning the past c. 4 Ma. Site U1478 was drilled in the northernmost Natal Valley, on the I...

Global climate cooled from the early Eocene hothouse (~52-50 Ma) to the latest Eocene (~34 Ma). At the same time, the tectonic evolution of the Southern Ocean was characterized by the opening and deepening of circum-Antarctic gateways, which affected both surface- and d...
