The present interglacial, the Holocene, spans the period of the last 11,700 years. It has
sustained the growth and development of modern society. The millennial-scale decreasing …

A high-resolution oxygen isotope record based on 356 measurements of conodont apatite
from several low latitudinal sections in South China, USA and Iran was composed in order to …

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 …

On the basis of fossil and archaeological data it has been hypothesized that the exodus of
Homo sapiens out of Africa and into Eurasia between~ 50–120 thousand years ago …

Reconstructions of Earth's past climate strongly influence our understanding of the dynamics
and sensitivity of the climate system. Yet global temperature has been reconstructed for only …

Authigenic carbonates recovered from two newly discovered active cold seeps on the
northwestern slope of the South China Sea have been studied using petrography …

Magnesium/calcium data from planktonic foraminifera in equatorial Pacific sediment cores
demonstrate that tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs) were 2.8°±0.7° C colder …

The last interglaciation (LIG, 129 to 116 thousand years ago) was the most recent time in
Earth's history when global mean sea level was substantially higher than it is at present …

The alkenone‐based U proxy is a cornerstone of paleoclimatology, providing insight into the
temperature history of the Earth's surface ocean. Although the relationship between U and …
