Water-stable isotopes in polar ice cores are a widely used temperature proxy in
paleoclimate reconstruction, yet calibration remains challenging in East Antarctica. Here, we …

Two deep ice cores from central Greenland, drilled in the 1990s, have played a key role in
climate reconstructions of the Northern Hemisphere, but the oldest sections of the cores …

Deciphering the evolution of global climate from the end of the Last Glacial Maximum
approximately 19 ka to the early Holocene 11 ka presents an outstanding opportunity for …
