    • Ancient sedimentary DNA shows rapid post-glacial colonisation of Iceland followed by relatively stable vegetation until the Norse settlement (Landnám) AD 870 

      Alsos, Inger Greve; Lammers, Youri; Kjellman, Sofia Elisabeth; Merkel, Marie Føreid; Bender, Emma Marie; Rouillard, Alexandra; Erlendsson, Egill; Gudmundsdottir, Esther Ruth; Benediktsson, Ívar Örn; Farnsworth, Wesley Randall; Brynjólfsson, Skafti; Gísladóttir, Guðrún; Eddudóttir, Sigrún Dögg; Schomacker, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-08)
      Understanding patterns of colonisation is important for explaining both the distribution of single species and anticipating how ecosystems may respond to global warming. Insular flora may be especially vulnerable because oceans represent severe dispersal barriers. Here we analyse two lake sediment cores from Iceland for ancient sedimentary DNA to infer patterns of colonisation and Holocene vegetation ...

    • Ocean-rafted pumice constrains postglacial relative sea-level and supports Holocene ice cap survival 

      Farnsworth, Wesley Randall; Blake Jr., Wesley; Gudmundsdottir, Esther Ruth; Ingólfsson, Ólafur; Larsen, Gudrún; Óladóttir, Bergrún Arna; Schomacker, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-24)
      Distally deposited tephra from explosive volcanic eruptions can be a powerful tool for precise dating and correlation of sedimentary archives and landforms. However, the morphostratigraphic and chronological potential of ocean-rafted pumice has been under-utilized considering its long observational history and widespread distribution on modern and palaeo-shorelines around the world. Here we analyze ...

    • Vedde Ash constrains Younger Dryas glacier re-advance and rapid glacio-isostatic rebound on Svalbard 

      Farnsworth, Wesley Randall; Ingólfsson, Ólafur; Mannerfelt, Erik S.; Kalliokoski, Maarit H.; Gudmundsdottir, Esther Ruth; Retelle, Michael; Allaart, Lis; Brynjólfsson, Skafti; Furze, Mark; Hancock, Holt John; Kjær, Kurt H.; Pieńkowski, Anna J.; Schomacker, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-09)
      The distal deposition of tephra from explosive volcanism has the potential to geochronologically constrain sedimentary archives and landforms. With this technique, we constrain a Late Glacial glacier re-advance on Svalbard and suggest that glacioisostatic emergence rates during the Younger Dryas chronozone were at least three times greater than previous estimates. The identification of cryptotephra ...
