Reliable information on the structure of fished populations can help align management units with the ecology of target species. One way to attain such information lies in accurately defining the scales at which groups of fish vary in key attributes-the chemical markers within otoliths providing well known examples. Here, motivated by current uncert...
For marine fishes of commercial interest, defining how individuals vary in certain attributes, through ontogeny, and across space and time, can help expose the structure of harvested populations and guide their management. The chemical markers locked within otoliths are, in principle, ideal for such applications, providing life-long, bio-environmen...
Objective:
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and new treatment strategies are highly sought-after. Paradoxically, reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium, as achieved with early percutaneous intervention, results in substantial damage to the heart (ischemia/reperfusion injury) caused by cell death du...
Urbanization disturbs groundwater flow through the sealing of native soils with impervious surfaces and through modifications to the subsoil by constructed drainage and other infrastructure (trenches and excavations, e.g. water supply). The impact of these disturbances on groundwater contributions to urban streams (i.e. baseflow) is poorly understo...
Arid Central Asia represents a key region for understanding climate variability and interactions in the Northern Hemisphere. Patterns and mechanisms of Holocene climate change in arid Central Asia are, however, only partially understood. Multi-proxy data combining diatom, ostracod, sedimentological, geochemical and stable isotope analyses from a ca...
Variations in the Indian Monsoon (IM) and Westerlies (WS) significantly affect the climate on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and have widespread ecological and socioeconomic impacts on the whole of Asian society. So far, however, the rate and magnitude of changes in the IM have still remained unclear. Here we report for the first time that the IM rapidly...
Improved knowledge of deglaciation processes during the termination of the Last Glacial Maximum on the Tibetan Plateau can provide important information for understanding deglaciations in climate-sensitive high-altitude ecosystems. Little, however, is known about this time interval because most lacustrine sediment records from the Tibetan Plateau a...
The transition from the Last Glacial to the current Interglacial, the Holocene, represents an important period with climatic and environmental changes impacting ecosystems. In this study, we examined the interplay between the Indian Ocean Summer Monsoon (IOSM) and the Westerlies at lake Nam Co, southern Tibet to understand the climatic effects on t...

In general, a moderate drying trend is observed in mid-latitude arid Central Asia since the Mid-Holocene, attributed to the progressively weakening influence of the mid-latitude Westerlies on regional climate. However, as the spatio-temporal pattern of this development and the underlying climatic mechanisms are yet not fully understood, new high-re...

A mid-Holocene shift from predominantly wet to significantly drier
climate conditions, attributed to the weakening of the Asian summer
monsoon (ASM), is documented in numerous palaeoclimate records from the
monsoon-influenced parts of Asia, e.g. the Tibetan Plateau and north-
and southeastern China. In contrast, Holocene climate development in the...
The Tibetan Plateau is a key region to investigate the Asian Monsoon and
its change through time. Unfortunately, only a few continuous records
exist that cover the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) with a high temporal
resolution. The Nam Co is located at the boundaries of two dominant
monsoon systems in the southern part of the Tibetan Plateau and may
ex...
