The environmental and biotic history of the late Quaternary represents a critical junction
between ecology, global change studies, and pre-Quaternary paleobiology. Late Quaternary …

Pollen-based paleoclimate reconstructions using response surface and modern analog
methods reveal an 8000-year record of July temperature fluctuations for 25 eastern …

A fully referenced, comprehensive scientific and technical report presenting the 1998 AMAP
assessment on the status of the Arctic environment with respect to pollution, including …

This paper presents a compilation of eolian-based records of late Quaternary climate
changes in the Sahara. Although the data are relatively sparse, when viewed as a whole …

Living and subfossil trees from glacier forefields are used to develop a 1119-year-long tree-
ringwidth chronology. Strong cross-dating among ring-width series from sites up to 60 km …

Much of human behavior and the very fabric of our economies and culture relate to the
nature of our climate, its regularity/variability and severity. Climate change should therefore …

The present climate, which falls between the last ice age and the next, is relatively stable.
New data on past climate change, however, indicates that the climate is capable of …

A mid-Holocene climate optimum is inferred from a palaeosalinity reconstruction of a closed
saline lake (Beall Lake) from the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica using an expanded …

We have developed and tested a multifacteted curriculum for use in introductory earth
science classes from the secondary-school to the introductory undergraduate level. The …

Executive summary In this Lowy Paper we argue that there is no longer much doubt that the
world is facing a prolonged period of planetary warming, largely fuelled by modern lifestyles …
