Tree-ring chronologies are widely used to reconstruct high-to low-frequency variations in
growing season temperatures over centuries to millennia. The relevance of these timeseries …

The development of research into the history of tree growth and inferred summer
temperature changes in Yamalia spanning the last 2000 years is reviewed. One focus is the …

Climate model projections suggest widespread drying in the Mediterranean Basin and
wetting in Fennoscandia in the coming decades largely as a consequence of greenhouse …

The eruption of Samalas in Indonesia in 1257 ranks among the largest sulfur-rich eruptions
of the Common Era with sulfur deposition in ice cores reaching twice the volume of the …

Volcanism is a natural climate forcing causing short‐term variations in temperatures.
Histories of volcanic eruptions are needed to quantify their role in climate variability and …

Volcanic activity in and around the year 536 CE led to severe cold and famine, and has
been speculatively linked to large-scale societal crises around the globe. Using a coupled …

It has been suggested that maximum latewood density (MXD) should be used instead of tree-
ring width (TRW) data to reconstruct post-volcanic cooling effects. A thorough assessment of …

Here we explore two new tree-ring parameters, derived from measurements of wood density
and blue intensity (BI). The new proxies show an increase in the interannual summer …

The drop in temperature following large volcanic eruptions has been identified as an
important component of natural climate variability. However, due to the limited number of …

The period leading to and immediately after the release of the IPCC's fifth series of climate
change assessments saw substantial efforts by climate change denial interests to portray …
