Plant leaf wax biomarkers capture gradients in hydrogen isotopes of precipitation from the Andes and Amazon
Plant leaf waxes have been found to record the hydrogen isotopic composition of
precipitation and are thus used to reconstruct past climate. To assess how faithfully they …

A major increase in winter snowfall during the middle Holocene on western Greenland caused by reduced sea ice in Baffin Bay and the Labrador Sea
Precipitation is predicted to increase in the Arctic as temperature increases and sea ice
retreats. Yet the mechanisms controlling precipitation in the Arctic are poorly understood and …
