	abstract = {Twelve piston cores were used to characterize late Quaternary lithofacies, depositional processes and deglacial history along the Baffin Bay slope between Lancaster Sound and Home Bay. Core investigations show four distinct laterally correlatable lithofacies along the slope {\textendash} basal and upper diamicton, laminated red brown mud, tan carbonate gravelly, sandy mud and bioturbated brown mud. Basal diamicton largely represents glacigenic debris flow deposits during a glacial advance from Baffin Island at ~25 cal ka. The distribution and character of laminated red brown mud suggests a lateral supply to Baffin Bay slope from ice-proximal meltwater plumes and turbidity currents sourced in glacial ice from both Baffin Bay shelf and Home Bay between 41.5 cal ka to ~14.2 cal ka. An upper diamicton records a lesser, localized glacial advance that ended at about 14.2 cal ka. Tan carbonate mud events represent ice-rafted, enhanced detrital carbonate delivery to the slope between ~25 cal ka and ~11 cal ka. A gradual thinning of these events, from northern to southern Baffin Bay, corroborates a northern Baffin Bay, Lancaster Sound or Nares Strait iceberg source. Proglacial facies seaward of Home Bay contain beds with slightly elevated detrital carbonate that may represent the distal edge of carbonate ice-rafted from Lancaster Sound. Baffin Bay is a type example of a polar glacial basin in which direct glacial supply predominates over the effects of glacial meltwater. As a result, axial supply from the large ice streams north of Baffin Bay (particularly Lancaster Sound) is dominant in the Baffin Bay basin and lateral supply from smaller ice streams on Baffin Island predominates on the NE Baffin Slope.},

	abstract = {Abstract High resolution X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is presented as a robust palaeoclimatic proxy, suitable for use on Late Pleistocene to Holocene sediments located in a volcanic crater on the Atherton Tableland in northeastern Queensland, Australia. The proxy allows identification of wet and dry shifts in a complex sedimentary sequence comprised of peat, gyttja, laminated organic rich muds and fine clastic silt-rich sediments. Significant correlation is found between the \{XRF\} record and other proxies including magnetic susceptibility, humification, grain size, macrocharcoal, δ13C and C/N and pollen. Sixteen wetter periods are identified in the 37 ka sedimentary record for Bromfield Swamp. Three wetter periods commence in late Marine Isotope Stage 3, nine in the early glacial, one in the late de-glacial and four in Holocene. Nineteen drier periods are identified, four in late \{MIS\} 3, seven in the early glacial, one during the LGM, one in the late de-glacial period and six in the Holocene. The \{XRF\} record for Bromfield Swamp is specifically used to identify periods of abrupt climate change. Marked changes in effective precipitation are detected at 32,690, 30,080, 24,660, 21,870, 11,880, 10,020, 9170 and 5120 cal. yr BP. The detection of these abrupt climate events may allow correlation with records from terrestrial sites across the Southern Hemisphere and potentially, the Northern Hemisphere.},

	abstract = {Integrated sedimentological and micropaleontological (foraminifers and ostracods) analyses of two 55 m long borehole cores (S3 and S4) drilled in the subsurface of Lesina lagoon (Gargano promontory{\textemdash}Italy) has yielded a facies distribution characteristic of alluvial, coastal and shallow-marine sediments. Stratigraphic correlation between the two cores, based on strong similarity in facies distribution and AMS radiocarbon dates, indicates a Late Pleistocene to Holocene age of the sedimentary succession.

Two main depositional sequences were deposited during the last 60-ky. These sequences display poor preservation of lowstand deposits and record two major transgressive pulses and subsequent sea-level highstands. The older sequence, unconformably overlying a pedogenized alluvial unit, consists of paralic and marine units (dated by AMS radiocarbon at about 45{\textendash}50,000 years BP) that represent the landward migration of a barrier-lagoon system. These units are separated by a ravinement surface (RS1). Above these tansgressive deposits, highstand deposition is characterised by progradation of the coastal sediments.

The younger sequence, overlying an unconformity of tectonic origin, is a 10 m-thick sedimentary body, consisting of fluvial channel sediments overlain by transgressive{\textendash}regressive deposits of Holocene age. A ravinement surface (RS2), truncating the transgressive (lagoonal and back-barrier) deposits in core S4, indicates shoreface retreat and landward migration of the barrier/lagoon system. The overlying beach, lagoon and alluvial deposits are the result of mid-Holocene highstand sedimentation and coastal progradation.},

	abstract = {A well-preserved, vertically stacked succession of two genetically distinct eolianites and associated caliche paleosol units, capped by modern and Holocene coastal dunes, occurs at Kaiehu Point, west Molokai, Hawaii. The Pleistocene eolianite facies comprise well-cemented, medium grained skeletal carbonate sand and their morphostratigraphic context implies formation at times of lower than present sea level. Amino acid racernization (AAR) evidence suggests eolianite formation late in marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (OIS) 5, but lacks the precision to uniquely define in which isotopic substage the deposits formed. Coupled with the AAR results, the morphostratigraphic evidence, would suggest that the Lower Eolianite formed in OIS 5c and the Middle Eolianite during 5a with their superposed caliche paleosols having formed in subsequent stadial stages. The unconsolidated coastal sand dunes of Holocene age contain reworked Late Pleistocene skeletal carbonate sand based on AAR evidence. The most likely source of the reworked carbonate is from the erosion of the eolianites at Kaiehu Point. The Pleistocene eolianite-caliche paleosol sediments reveal variable Mg-content, stable isotope ratios and petrological characteristics consistent with changing degrees of weathering intensity and meteoric diagenesis. These changes are attributed to orographic effects resulting from relative sea-level changes. Accordingly, a two-phase model is favored for the formation of the eolianite-paleosol successions at Kaiehu Point, west Molokai. Eolianite sedimentation is initiated at times of marginally lower sea levels promoting the landward migration of bioclastic sand to form extensive eolian sandsheets. This is followed by a more pronounced phase of pedogenesis associated with a further fall in sea level and concomitant increased rainfall due to enhanced orographic effects.},

	abstract = {Coccolithophorid assemblages and micro-charcoal content were analysed in giant piston core MD97-2141 recovered in the Sulu Sea (Philippines). These proxies help to reconstruct respectively the dynamics of the oceanic primary production (PP) and biomass burning in that area. PP in the Sulu Sea intensifies during the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) and therefore PP constitutes a proxy for EAWM dynamics. Most of the precipitation in the Sulu Sea region occurs during the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). Because the intensity of biomass burning is related to dryness of the surrounding area, the sedimentary micro-charcoal content can be used as an inverse proxy for EASM intensity. Our results show that the EAWM intensifies during glacial times in agreement with previous studies. Precessional forcing appears to act directly on EAWN because of the early response of PP in that frequency band. The micro-charcoal record exhibits complex dynamics, which we attribute to the competing influence of the long-term El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-like forcing and the glacial/interglacial cycle on EASM. These influences create an unusual frequency spectrum with power around 30 kyr and 19 kyr attributed to the non-linear response to the 100-kyr cycle (glacial) and the 23-kyr (ENSO) cycle. A factor of two increase in the amplitude of the micro-charcoal variability between 51 and 10 ka BP could correspond to Homo sapiens biomass burning in the style of the fire-stick farming of the Australian Aborigines. We also find, on precession cycles, an opposite phase between EASM and EAWM records and an advance of -delta(18)O and delta(18)O respectively by 2000 yr. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {LittoridinaSouleyet, 1852 (Mesogastropoda, Hydrobiidae) is the best represented genus among themolluscan taxa recorded in the marine late Quaternary from Argentina. It is distinguished by its ubiquity and high abundance along the coastal area from R{\'\i}o de La Plata down to southern Buenos Aires Province, both in beach ridge and coastal lagoon and estuarine facies and tidal flats. It is practically absent in Holocene littoral depositis from Patagonia and a very scarce component of the Pleistocene deposits from the whole Argentine coast. At present it is not recorded along the Argentine Sea or occurs only rarely in scarce quantities and restricted distribution, always associated to marginal marine environments. Most specimens collected from the marine Quaternary are assignable to Littoridina australis (D{\textquoteright}Orbigny, 1835), a dominant species (50-> 80\%) in the Holocene from La Plata down to Bah{\'\i}a San Blas (Buenos Aires Province). Due to the similarity of the original illustrations and of the type material of L. australis crassa, L. isabelleana, L. australis nana and L. conexa with L. australis, these taxa are considered synonyms. L. australis is proposed as a polytipic species with three main morphs (ecomorphs) which represent adaptations to different environmental conditions, mostly of salinty: {\textquoteleft}A{\textquoteright} (wide and short, very scarce, similar to L. charruana and L. conexa), {\textquoteleft}B{\textquoteright} (identical to the lectotypo de L. australis, similar to L. australis crassa; predominant) and {\textquoteleft}C{\textquoteright} (strongly elongated, similar to L. isabelleana and L. australis nana, with variations according to size; scarce). At present {\textquoteleft}B{\textquoteright} is dominant in mixohaline conditions, {\textquoteleft}C{\textquoteright} in polyhaline environments and {\textquoteleft}A{\textquoteright} in oligo-mixohaline sites. The morphological variations observed within the abundant material (fossil and modern), geographically and through time, would be a consequence of the influence over the littoral benthonic communities of environmental and climatic changes occurred during the late Quaternary: A trend was observed towards a major abundance of the morph {\textquoteleft}C{\textquoteright} (polyhaline) in the northern sector of the distribution, Samboromb{\'o}n Bay, and before ca. 5 ka A.P., whilst the morph {\textquoteleft}B{\textquoteright} (mixohaline) predominates in the central and southern sectors of the distribution, Mar Chiquita and Bah{\'\i}a Blanca, and is dominant after ca. 4.5 ka. This in turn would be a response to a progressive decrease of salinity along the littoral zone following the Climatic Optimum (Holocene {\textquoteleft}Hypsithermal{\textquoteright}, >7-5 ka A.P.), in coincidence with the sea-level (and temperature) decreasing trend until the present.},
