Morphostructural controls on the orientation of lajedos (rock platforms/rock outcrop) in Quixadá and Quixeramobim - CE
Granite geomorphology studies the formation and evolution of landscapes developed on igneous rocks, covering more than 15% of the continents. In Brazil's Northeastern Semi-Arid region, lajedos (rock platforms/rock outcrop) are significant residual landforms, especially in the municipalities of…

The taphonomy of human footprints in an estuarine setting: implications for quaternary track-sites in intertidal zones
The purpose of this paper is to understand the preservation of human footprints formed in estuarine settings, with a specific focus on survival time and morphological modification. To this end, we conducted a taphonomic study by creating five trackways at two different sites on the intertidal…

Expanding the Late Quaternary morphochronology of Atacama's coastal alluvial fans by Schmidt hammer exposure dating reveals spatially distinct genesis
Late Quaternary alluvial fans along the coast of the hyperarid Atacama Desert have been exploited as palaeoenvironmental archives by several studies. However, a regional palaeoenvironmental interpretation remains challenging as established geochronological frameworks are based on a limited number…

Climate change and world history: Evidence from the site of Sym-Ota 1 in the Aral Sea Basin
Humans responded to a climatically induced river avulsion in the Amu Darya delta beginning ca. 400 CE by re-engineering the river's main channel to flow west of the Aral Sea. This change, which we refer to as the “Khorezmian pivot,” altered the cultural geography of the Aral Sea Basin (ASB) for…

Geomorphological and chronological evidence of middle to Late Pleistocene glaciation in the Chaka North Mountains, northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
The northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (NQTP) is a region highly sensitive to climate fluctuations. However, detailed evidence regarding the timing and processes of its Quaternary glaciations remains limited in many subregions. Here, we systematically identify, quantify, and date glacial landforms…

Interacting drivers of Holocene climate change in southwestern Africa: the influence of insolation, rainbelt dynamics and upwelling
Understanding regional-scale patterns of long-term climate variability is essential for identifying the drivers of past environmental change. In southern Africa, the continent is often divided into three rainfall zones—summer, winter, and aseasonal—but this framework fails to capture the finer…

Technological innovations and regional diversity in Western Europe at ca. the MIS 11 threshold: a cladistic approach
The ca: Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11 interglacial is considered to be a threshold for behavioural innovations in Western Europe. Innovations both in technology and subsistence are observed, as well as the appearance of Neanderthal anatomical features. Core technologies and Large Cutting Tools…

Floral and vegetation changes during the cold stage (30–14.7 ka) of Marine Isotope Stage 2 in Japan: Evidence from plant macrofossil records and implications for plant food resource distribution
During the cold stage of Marine Isotope Stage 2 (MIS 2; 30–14.7 ka), vegetation dominated by pinaceous conifers expanded across the Japanese Archipelago. This study investigated new plant macrofossil data from eight sites in various regions of Japan and provided calibrated radiocarbon ages for…

Propagation of the Storegga tsunami in the southeastern North Sea
Numerical simulations of the 8150 BP Storegga slide event in the Norwegian Sea are necessary for understanding both landslide dynamics and tsunami propagation. Here we focus on the southern North Sea, South East of Dogger Bank, and the shores of Denmark and Germany where there have been reports of…

Enamel carbon and oxygen isotope values provide evidence of 22,000 years of shifting precipitation seasonality in Malawi
The Zambezian Biome, located between equatorial and southern Africa, is an important region for the study of biogeography and human evolution. Reconstructing Quaternary environmental conditions in the region has been challenging because the basin's paleoenvironmental record is not clearly in-phase…

Influence of tidal-flat dynamics on shell-midden distribution during the Jomon transgression in Okutokyo Bay, Japan
The Jomon Transgression was a relative sea-level rise that reached a highstand at 7 ka, during which Tokyo Bay formed a semi-enclosed embayment known as Okutokyo Bay (2200 km2). More than 600 Jomon shell middens occur on the surrounding uplands, making this region one of the most densely…

Hydroclimate variability in the Kimberley region, north-west Australia, over the past 65,000 years
The Kimberley region of north-west Australia offers a valuable lens to examine the variability of multiple regional climate systems within the context of human migration and settlement of the Sahul and now Australian continent. Despite its importance, reconstruction of past hydroclimate in the…

The long-term use of freshwater animals by Paleolithic people on subtropical Okinawa Island, Japan
Migration to islands requires developing subsistence strategies with limited resources. Okinawa Island, a remote subtropical island in Japan, was colonized by Homo sapiens at the end of the Pleistocene. Recent excavations at the Sakitari Cave site have revealed that Pleistocene people used…

Before the winter came: The Early Pleistocene pre-glacial history of the Baltics illuminated by facies analysis and cosmogenic nuclide dating of borehole cores from Lithuania (NE Europe)Mendeley Data
Understanding the evolution of past ice sheets is essential for comprehending Earth's climate and improving its prediction. However, information about the oldest Quaternary continental glaciations is scarce due to preservation limitations and methodological challenges in dating. This study focuses…

The influence of solar activity and ENSO variability on epidemic outbreaks in Ming-Qing period
The multiscale temporal characteristics of epidemic evolution and their relationship with climate variability remain inadequately elucidated. To clarify the multiscale temporal variability and underlying mechanisms governing epidemic outbreaks during the Ming-Qing period, we applied the Complete…

East Eurasian dispersals to the Americas: A spatiotemporal perspective from paleogenomics
The dispersal of modern humans from East Eurasia to the Americas involved multiple migration routes, repeated admixture, and long-term adaptation. Recent paleogenomic studies have provided direct insights into these processes by reconstructing population histories. In this review, we summarize…
