2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

This paper reviews current understanding of deglaciation in North, Central and South
America from the Last Glacial Maximum to the beginning of the Holocene. Together with …

Abstract Changes in insolation driven by precession and obliquity are considered the major
driver of tropical precipitation on orbital time scales, and responsible for vegetation and …

Characterizing the temporal uncertainty in palaeoclimate records is crucial for analysing
past climate change, correlating climate events between records, assessing climate …

During the last ice age, the Laurentide Ice Sheet exhibited extreme iceberg discharge
events that are recorded in North Atlantic sediments. These Heinrich events have far …

Despite the fact that the response of tropical hydroclimate to North Atlantic cooling events
during the Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1) has been extensively studied in African, South American …

Our understanding of climate dynamics during millennial-scale events is incomplete,
partially due to the lack of their precise phase analyses under various boundary conditions …

Late Quaternary precipitation dynamics in the central Andes have been linked to both high-
and low-latitude atmospheric teleconnections. We use present-day relationships between …

During the last glacial period Northern Hemisphere climate was characterized by extreme
and abrupt climate changes, so-called Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) events. Most clearly …

Palaeoclimate information on multiple climate variables at different spatiotemporal scales is
becoming increasingly important to understand environmental and societal responses to …
