There is a growing number of proxy-based reconstructions detailing the climatic changes
that occurred during the last interglacial period (LIG). This period is of special interest …

The field of paleoclimatology relies on physical, chemical, and biological proxies of past
climate changes that have been preserved in natural archives such as glacial ice, tree rings …

Reconstructing a climate process in both space and time from incomplete instrumental and
climate proxy time series is a problem with clear societal relevance that poses both scientific …

BACKGROUND Anthropogenic emissions are rapidly altering Earth's climate, pushing it
toward a warmer state for which there is no historical precedent. Although no perfect analog …

The last interglacial stage (LIG; ca. 130–115 ka) provides a relatively recent example of a
world with both poles characterized by greater-than-Holocene temperatures similar to those …

Climate sensitivity is defined as the change in global mean equilibrium temperature after a
doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration and provides a simple measure of global …

Contributors describe the current understanding of abrupt climate variations that have
occurred at millennial to submillennial time scales, events now recognized as characteristics …

Using the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) including a dynamic global
vegetation model, a set of 13 time slice experiments was carried out to study global climate …

The INTIMATE protocol for the correlation of marine ice core and terrestrial records is here
updated, reflecting recent developments in palaeoclimate research. Originally focussed on …

Earth's climate has progressively cooled over the past 3 million years with a concomitant
expansion of continental ice volume. This global trend towards increasingly severe and …
