Recent global temperature reconstructions for the current interglacial period (the Holocene,
beginning 11,700 years ago) have generated contrasting trends. This Review examines …

Abstract The “4.2 ka event” is a commonly described abrupt climate excursion that occurred
about 4200 years ago. However, the extent to which this event is coherent across regional …

Climate field reconstructions (CFRs) combine modern observational data with paleoclimatic
proxies to estimate climate variables over spatiotemporal grids during time periods when …

Understanding climate variability across interannual to centennial timescales is critical, as it
encompasses the natural range of climate fluctuations that early human agricultural …

The Holocene temperature conundrum, the discrepancy between proxy-based Holocene
global cooling and simulated global annual warming trends, remains controversial …

The hemi-boreal zone, marking North America's southern boreal forest boundary, has
evolved post-glaciation, hosting diverse ecosystems including mixed forests with savannas …

Projected changes in atmospheric blocking and associated extreme weather are marked by
considerable uncertainties. While paleoclimate records could help reduce these …

In this study, we employ biological, geochemical and mineral, and physical proxies to
quantitatively and semi-quantitatively reconstruct regional paleoclimate variations in China …

Recent syntheses of marine paleoclimate records have revealed an overall long-term
Holocene warming trend, especially in mean annual temperature (MAT), which is …

Results from globally distributed surface soils and surface lake and peat sediments indicate
that brGDGTs (branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers), derived from bacteria, have …
