Palaeohydrology and archaeology in raised mires: a case study from Kilnagarnagh
This thesis concerns the palaeohydrological reconstruction of a raised mire in Kilnagamagh, Co. Offaly, Ireland in order to investigate environmental influences on human activity in mires as represented by archaeological deposits, and the mire's potential for broader palaeoenviromnental …

Holocene palaeohydrology from testate amoebae analysis: developing a model for British peatlands
Testate amoebae (Protozoa: Rhizopoda) are particularly abundant in peatlands. Previous studies have used testate amoebae in palaeoenvironmental studies, but have used qualitative data only, so that results are expressed only in terms of 'wet', 'dry' or 'moist'. This study uses testate amoebae to …

… and normal faulting have also influenced palaeohydrology and water-table elevation during the recorded depositional period (Figs 8.15 d & 8.16 d).

Fluvial facies, vertebrate taphonomy and palaeosols of the Teekloof formation (Permian) near Beaufort West, Cape Province, South Africa
… information on sedimentary processes, palaeohydrology, absolute time represented in the stratigraphic record and the topography, soils and habitats of the ancient landscape. These are summarized into a palaeoenvironmental synthesis of the Teckloof Formation.

Robustness and precision of Holocene palaeoclimatic records from peatlands using testate amoebae
… quantitative technique for reconstructing the palaeohydrology and from this, inferred palaeoclimatic conditions of ombrotrophic peatlands.

Holocene climate change and peatland dynamics in southern Sweden based on tree-ring analysis of subfossil wood from peat deposits
Dendrochronological analysis was applied to subfossil remains of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) buried in South Swedish peat deposits. By cross-dating Swedish bog-pine ring-width (RW) chronologies with corresponding material from North-west Germany, three Swedish RW chronologies were assigned …
