 Microfossil Research - Biological and geochemical record of anthropogenic impacts in recent sediments from Lake Pupuke, ...
Frozen sediment cores from Lake Pupuke in Auckland City, New Zealand, contain a high resolution decadal to annual scale record of changing lake paleoenvironments and geochemistry that reflects changing landuse and hydrology in the catchment over the past c.
A reliable chronology is available from AMS 14C and 210Pb dating of the sediments, with the timing of the older part of the record supported by the first appearance of pollen of introduced Pinus and Plantago lanceolata associated with European settlement of Auckland in the early 1840s.
Hence, the elemental and isotopic composition of the Lake Pupuke sediments reflect the timing of significant anthropogenic activities, rather than climatic variations, that have occurred within the watershed over the past c.

 Microfossil Research - Holocene vegetation, environment and tephra recorded from Lake Pupuke, Auckland
Lake Pupuke provides a near-complete, high-resolution environmental record of the Holocene from northern New Zealand.
Tephra beds constrain the timing of a range of proxy indicators of environmental change, and demonstrate errors in a radiocarbon chronology.
Changes in atmospheric circulation since the Late Glacial, possibly causing lower frequency of distal ashfall in Auckland during the Holocene complicates the use of long-term records in hazard frequency assessment.
