Global and regional temperature change over the past 4.5 million years

PU Clark, JD Shakun, Y Rosenthal, P Köhler… - Science, 2024‏ - science.org
Much of our understanding of Cenozoic climate is based on the record of δ18O measured in
benthic foraminifera. However, this measurement reflects a combined signal of global …

Warm pool ocean heat content regulates ocean–continent moisture transport

Z Jian, Y Wang, H Dang, M Mohtadi, Y Rosenthal… - Nature, 2022‏ - nature.com
Abstract The Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) exerts a dominant role in global climate by

Evolution of global temperature over the past two million years

CW Snyder - Nature, 2016‏ - nature.com
Reconstructions of Earth's past climate strongly influence our understanding of the dynamics

The last glacial maximum

PU Clark, AS Dyke, JD Shakun, AE Carlson, J Clark… - science, 2009‏ - science.org
We used 5704 14C, 10Be, and 3He ages that span the interval from 10,000 to 50,000 years
ago (10 to 50 ka) to constrain the timing of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in terms of …
