- The Quaternary History of the River Nile is a special issue of Quaternary Science Reviews which emerged from a 2014 EGU session. The 12 papers showcase research from all sectors of the Nile basin - an exemplar for the correlation of terrestrial and marine records. The SI reports advances in dating and strontium isotope analysis and reveals how the River Nile responded to global climate change over a range of Quaternary timescales. Several papers use these new records to provide archaeological insights. Woodward led the editorial process and is lead/co-author on three of the research papers and the introduction.

- The Quaternary History of the River Nile is a special issue of Quaternary Science Reviews which emerged from a 2014 EGU session (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/quaternary-science-reviews/vol/130/suppl/C). Woodward led the editorial process and is lead/co-author on three of the research papers and the introduction. We submit all four documents for review as part of this package of materials. The three research papers within the Special Issue highlighted for the REF Panel are all authored by Woodward: (1) Williams et al., ‘Causal links between Nile floods and eastern Mediterranean sapropel formation during the past 125 kyr confirmed by OSL and radiocarbon dating of Blue and White Nile sediments’ (10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.05.024); (2) Woodward et al., ‘Shifting sediment sources in the world's longest river: A strontium isotope record for the Holocene Nile’ 10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.10.040; and (3) Macklin et al., ‘A new model of river dynamics, hydroclimatic change and human settlement in the Nile Valley derived from meta-analysis of the Holocene fluvial archive’ (10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.09.024). We also submit the introduction to the Special Issue, Woodward et al., ‘From source to sink: Exploring the Quaternary history of the Nile’ 10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.10.022 which brings together learning from the Special Issue as a whole.
