The possibility of a reduced Atlantic thermohaline circulation in response to increases in
greenhouse-gas concentrations has been demonstrated in a number of simulations with …

A case is made that seasonality switches dominated by wintertime were instrumental in
abrupt climate changes in the North Atlantic region during the last glaciation and into the …

Proxy reconstructions from marine sediment cores indicate peak temperatures in the first half
of the last and current interglacial periods (the thermal maxima of the Holocene epoch …

A comprehensive database of paleoclimate records is needed to place recent warming into
the longer-term context of natural climate variability. We present a global compilation of …

Oxygen isotope records of five stalagmites from Hulu Cave near Nanjing bear a remarkable
resemblance to oxygen isotope records from Greenland ice cores, suggesting that East …

Determining the timing and amplitude of tropical sea surface temperature (SST) change is
an important part of solving the puzzle of the Plio-Pleistocene ice ages. Alkenone-based …

Abstract The Australian–Indonesian summer monsoon affects rainfall variability and hence
terrestrial productivity in the densely populated tropical Indo–Pacific region. It has been …

Abstract Models and palaeoclimate data suggest that the tropical Pacific climate system
plays a key part in the mechanisms underlying orbital-scale and abrupt climate change …

Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the cold tongue of the eastern equatorial Pacific exert
powerful controls on global atmospheric circulation patterns. We examined climate …

A significant body of new information about the development of coral reefs during the last 23
ka has been generated in the last three decades. In the Indo-Pacific province, structures …
