In this subproject derived from my doctoral thesis, I reconstructed the vegetation, hydrology and fire of the area using seven different geochemical and biological techniques. Using several data mining techniques, such as hierachical clustering analysis, principal curves and regression, I identified periods of pronounced environmental change. Additionally, regional climatic events, such as the reactivation of the monsoon and sea level rise are reflected in the local ecosystems along a diversity of biogeochemical responses.
