The present interglacial, the Holocene, spans the period of the last 11,700 years. It has
sustained the growth and development of modern society. The millennial-scale decreasing …

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 …

A comprehensive database of paleoclimate records is needed to place recent warming into
the longer-term context of natural climate variability. We present a global compilation of …

Reproducible climate reconstructions of the Common Era (1 CE to present) are key to
placing industrial-era warming into the context of natural climatic variability. Here we present …

During the “Green Sahara” period (11,000 to 5000 years before the present), the Sahara
desert received high amounts of rainfall, supporting diverse vegetation, permanent lakes …

Surface winds and surface ocean hydrography in the subpolar North Atlantic appear to have
been influenced by variations in solar output through the entire Holocene. The evidence …

Titanium and iron concentration data from the anoxic Cariaco Basin, off the Venezuelan
coast, can be used to infer variations in the hydrological cycle over northern South America …

Although the dramatic climate disruptions of the last glacial period have received
considerable attention, relatively little has been directed toward climate variability in the …

Little doubt is left that climate change is underway, strongly affecting the Earth's biodiversity.
Some of the greatest challenges ahead concern the marine realm, but it is unclear to what …

We present a continuous record of the Asian monsoon over the last 16 ka from δ18O
measurements of stalagmite calcite. Over 900 oxygen isotopic measurements providing …
