The emergence of low-frequency, high-amplitude, quasi-periodic (∼ 100-kyr) glacial
variability during the middle Pleistocene in the absence of any significant change in orbital …

It has long been known that mountain glaciers and continental ice sheets around the globe
reached their respective maximum extent at different times during the last glacial cycle, often …

Our understanding of how global climatic changes are translated into ice-sheet fluctuations
and sea-level change is currently limited by a lack of knowledge of the configuration of ice …

Variations in Earth's orbit pace the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary, but the
mechanisms that transform regional and seasonal variations in solar insolation into glacial …

Ice volume (and hence sea level) and deep-sea temperature are key measures of global
climate change. Sea level has been documented using several independent methods over …

During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT; 1,200–800 kya), Earth's orbitally paced ice age
cycles intensified, lengthened from∼ 40,000 (∼ 40 ky) to∼ 100 ky, and became distinctly …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

The sudden, widespread glaciation of Antarctica and the associated shift towards colder
temperatures at the Eocene/Oligocene boundary (∼ 34 million years ago)(refs) is one of the …

The oscillations between glacial and interglacial climate conditions over the past three
million years have been characterized by a transfer of immense amounts of water between …
