Global and hemispheric temperature reconstructions provide an important means of placing
recent anthropogenic temperature trends in the context of preindustrial climate variations …

Human evolution was strongly related to environmental factors. Woodlands and their
products played a key role in the production of tools and weapons, and provided unique …

Across western North America (WNA), 20th-21st century anthropogenic warming has
increased the prevalence and severity of concurrent drought and heat events, also termed …

Earth system models and various climate proxy sources indicate global warming is
unprecedented during at least the Common Era. However, tree-ring proxies often estimate …

Climate reconstructions for the Common Era are compromised by the paucity of annually-
resolved and absolutely-dated proxy records prior to medieval times. Where reconstructions …

Contextualising anthropogenic warming and investigating linkages between past climate
variability and human history require high-resolution temperature reconstructions that …

Explosive volcanism is a key contributor to climate variability on interannual to centennial
timescales. Understanding the far-field societal impacts of eruption-forced climatic changes …

Recent methodological advances have opened new perspectives for tropical
dendrochonological studies by facilitating the visualization, delimitation, and analyses of …

This chapter overviews long-standing foundations, methods, and concepts of
dendrochronology, yet also pays attention to a few related paradigm shifts driven by isotope …

The analysis of climate variability and development of reconstructions based on tree-ring
records in tropical forests have been increasing in recent decades. In the Amazon region …
