Evidence for climatic change across the North American Monsoon (NAM) and adjacent
areas is reviewed, drawing on continental and marine records and the application of climate …

Abstract Paleoindian groups occupied North America throughout the Younger Dryas
Chronozone. It is often assumed that cooling temperatures during this interval, and the …

" Sometime before 15,000 years ago, a band of hunter-gatherers arrived in Northeast Asia.

The disappearance of many North American megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene is a
contentious topic. While the proposed causes for megafaunal extinction are varied, most …

Paleoclimate observations constitute the only constraint on climate behavior prior to the
instrumental era. However, such observations only provide indirect (proxy) constraints on …

This paper is a review of cave sediments: their characteristics and their application as
paleoclimate archives. Cave sediments can be separated into two broad categories, clastic …

Holocene climate change has likely had a profound influence on ecosystems and culture. A

We present a high-resolution, 116,000-year carbon stable isotope record from a stalagmite
from southern Brazil, which has been precisely dated using the U-series method. Evaluation …

In the late 1920s outside a sleepy remote New Mexico village, prehistory was made. Spear
points, found embedded between the ribs of an extinct Ice Age bison at the site of Folsom …

To analyze the global hydroclimate response during the Younger Dryas cold event, we
evaluate climate model results that have been constrained with proxy-based temperatures …
