The last glacial termination
A major puzzle of paleoclimatology is why, after a long interval of cooling climate, each late
Quaternary ice age ended with a relatively short warming leg called a termination. We here …

Atmospheric circulation over Europe during the Younger Dryas
The Younger Dryas (YD) was a period of rapid climate cooling that occurred at the end of the
last glaciation. Here, we present the first palaeoglacier-derived reconstruction of YD …

Coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean dynamics in Dansgaard-Oeschger events
Abstract The Dansgaard-Oeschger events of the last ice age are among the best studied
abrupt climate changes, yet a comprehensive explanation is still lacking. They are most …

Dansgaard‐Oeschger cycles: Interactions between ocean and sea ice intrinsic to the Nordic seas
Dansgaard‐Oeschger (D‐O) cycles are the most dramatic, frequent, and wide‐reaching
abrupt climate changes in the geologic record. On Greenland, D‐O cycles are characterized …

Climate change and evolving human diversity in Europe during the last glacial
A link between climate change and human evolution during the Pleistocene has often been
assumed but rarely tested. At the macro–evolutionary level Foley showed for hominids that …
