Climate drivers for peatland palaeoclimate records (2009)
Charman, Dan J., Barber, Keith E., Blaauw, Maarten, Langdon, Pete G, Mauquoy, Dmitri, Daley, Tim J., ...
Reconstruction of hydroclimate variability is an important part of understanding natural climate change on decadal to millennial timescales. Peatland records reconstruct ‘bog surface wetness’...
Were last glacial climate events simultaneous between Greenland and western Europe? (2008)
Blaauw, Maarten, Wohlfarth, Barbara, Christen, J Andrés, Ampel, Linda, Veres, Daniel, Hughen, Konrad A, ...
During the last glacial period, several large abrupt climate fluctuations took place on the Greenland ice cap and elsewhere. Often these Dansgaard/Oeschger events are assumed to have been...

A comprehensively 14C AMS dated pollen and chironomid record from Boundary Stream Tarn provides the first chironomid-derived temperature reconstruction to quantify temperature change during...

Recently, Bayesian statistical software has been developed for age-depth modeling (“wiggle-match dating”) of sequences of densely spaced radiocarbon dates from peat cores. The method is described...
Plicht, Johannes Van Der, Sillasoo, Ülle, Mauquoy, Dmitri, Blaauw, Maarten, Bennett, Keith D., Yeloff, Dan, ...
The chronologies of five northern European ombrotrophic peat bogs subjected to a large AMS 14C dating effort (32–44 dates/site) are presented here. The results of Bayesian calibration (BCal) of...

Two cores of mid-Holocene raised-bog deposits from the Netherlands were 14C wiggle-match dated at high precision. Changes in local moisture conditions were inferred from the changing species...
Speranza, Alessandra, Blaauw, Maarten, Geel, Bas Van, Mauquoy, Dmitri, Plicht, Johannes Van Der
Closely spaced sequences of accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) 14C dates of peat deposits display century-scale wiggles which can be fitted to the radiocarbon calibration curve. By wiggle-matching...
Carbon-14 wiggle-match dating of peat deposits: advantages and limitations (2004)
Plicht, Johannes Van Der, Mauquoy, Dmitri, Geel, Bas Van, Blaauw, Maarten
Carbon-14 wiggle-match dating (WMD) of peat deposits uses the non-linear relationship between 14C age and calendar age to match the shape of a series of closely spaced peat 14C dates with the 14C...
Geel, Bas Van, Plicht, Johannes Van Der, Blaauw, Maarten
In 1995, an unexpected reservoir effect was reported in sequences of bulk 14C dates of raised bog peat. In most peat studies bulk 14C dates are used for obtaining chronologies. Therefore it is...

14C wiggle-match dating (WMD) of peat deposits uses the non-linear relationship between 14C age and calendar age to match the shape of a sequence of closely spaced peat 14C dates with the 14C...

Fluctuations in Holocene atmospheric radiocarbon concentrations have been shown to be due to variations in solar activity. Analyses of both 10Be and 14C nuclides confirm that production-rate changes...

The marine oligotrophic ultramicrobacterium Sphingomonas alaskensis RB2256 has a physiology that is distinctly different from that of typical copiotrophic marine bacteria, such as Vibrio angustum...

Radiocarbon peat chronologies and environmental change
Maarten Blaauw, J. Andrés Christen
Raised bog peat deposits form important archives for reconstructing past changes in climate. Precise and reliable age models are of vital importance for interpreting such archives. We propose...
