The last 6000years are of particular interest to the understanding of the Earth System
because the boundary conditions of the climate system did not change dramatically (in …

We analyze the global variations in the timing and magnitude of the Holocene Thermal
Maximum (HTM) and their dependence on various forcings in transient simulations covering …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

Data from stalagmites in the Makapansgat Valley, South Africa, document regional climatic
change in southern Africa in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. A new TIMS U-series dated …

A cause and effect understanding of thermal limitation and adaptation at various levels of
biological organization is crucial in the elaboration of how the Antarctic climate has shaped …

Southern South America is the only landmass intersecting the southern westerly wind belt
(SWW) that influences the large-scale oceanography and controls for example the …

Palaeoenvironmental and archaeological data from Arbon Bleiche, Lake Constance
(Switzerland) give evidence of a rapid rise in lake‐level dated by tree‐ring and radiocarbon …

Sea ice plays an important role in Earth's climate system. The lack of direct indications of
past sea ice coverage, however, means that there is limited knowledge of the sensitivity and …

This paper presents the evidence for Late Pleistocene and Holocene palaeoclimate and
glacier fluctuations of the two major icefields in Patagonia, the Hielo Patagónico Norte (47° …

The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the three fastest warming regions on Earth. Here we
review Holocene proxy records of marine and terrestrial palaeoclimate in the region, and …
