A historical perspective on recent landscape transformation: integrating palaeoecological, documentary and contemporary evidence for former vegetation patterns and dynamics in the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia / Sophia Anastasia Bickford.
Palaeoecological records, documented historical records and remnant vegetation were investigated in order to construct a multi-scaled history of vegetation pattern and change in the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia over the last c. 8000 years. Aims to better understand post-European landscape …

Testing the late-Holocene climate signal from ombrotrophic bogs in southernmost Chile and the Falkland Islands: a multi-proxy, multi-profile and multi-site approach
… A multi-proxy approach was used, combining both palaeoecological and stable isotopic methods. At one site, Karukinka, intra-site replicability was tested across three profiles located along a microtopographical gradient. A low number of statistically significant correlations between proxies were …

Holocene floodplain vegetation dynamics and sea-level change in the lower Aire valley, Yorkshire
… river valleys are a rich resource for studying palaeoecological change which may provide information concerning catchment and sea-level change. This thesis reconstructs the environmental history of the lower Aire valley during the Holocene, and investigates the factors influencing floodplain and …

Reconstruction of aspects of Northern New Zealand paleoclimate over the last 200 ka using laminated Auckland maar lake sequences
Continuous lake sediment records spanning two glacial cycles are rarely available from the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes, let alone with the requisite resolution and robust chronological control required to optimise paleoenvironmental reconstructions. In this context Onepoto maar paleolake in …

Impact of human land-use and rainfall variability in tropical dry forests of southwest Madagascar during the late Holocene
… debate, a debate hampered by the scarcity of palaeoecological studies on the island. Southwest Madagascar is semi-arid and comprises fragmented tropical dry forests where human subsistence strategies are diverse. Therefore, it provides a perfect setting to generate new palaeoecological records …
