Palaeo-dust records in sediments and ice cores show that wind-borne mineral aerosol
('dust') is strongly linked with climate state. During glacial climate stages, for example, the …

Changes in the strength and position of Southern Hemisphere westerly winds during the
Last Glacial cycle have been invoked to explain both millennial and glacial–interglacial …

This book provides a first synthetic view of an emerging area of ecology and biogeography,
linking individual-and population-level processes to geographic distributions and …

Evidence of the effect of external influences on the climate system has continued to
accumulate since the Third Assessment Report (TAR). The evidence now available is …

• The sustained rate of increase over the past century in the combined radiative forcing from
the three well-mixed greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous …

The climate sensitivity of the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) is
studied for two past climate forcings, the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the mid …

This book provides an introduction to the development of three-dimensional climate models,
including their four major components: atmosphere, ocean, land/vegetation, and sea ice …

We present a model of the global methane inventory as hydrate and bubbles below the sea
floor. The model predicts the inventory of CH4 in the ocean today to be≈ 1600–2,000 Pg of …

An analysis of 1516 radiocarbon dates demonstrates that the development of the current
circumarctic peatlands began∼ 16.5 thousand years ago (ka) and expanded explosively …

The circulation of the deep Atlantic Ocean during the height of the last ice age appears to
have been quite different from today. We review observations implying that Atlantic …
