Abstract The Last Interglacial (LIG) represents an invaluable case study to investigate the
response of components of the Earth system to global warming. However, the scarcity of …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a necessary task for assessing to which degree
the industrial period is unusual against the background of pre-industrial climate variability. It …

Here, the potential for rapid and accurate U–Th dating technique of marine aragonite
