BACKGROUND Although thermal expansion of seawater and melting of mountain glaciers
have dominated global mean sea level (GMSL) rise over the last century, mass loss from the …

Most of the policy debate surrounding the actions needed to mitigate and adapt to
anthropogenic climate change has been framed by observations of the past 150 years as …

Oxygen isotope records from Chinese caves characterize changes in both the Asian
monsoon and global climate. Here, using our new speleothem data, we extend the Chinese …

Late Pleistocene sea level has been reconstructed from ocean sediment core data using a
wide variety of proxies and models. However, the accuracy of individual reconstructions is …

Variations in Earth's orbit pace the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary, but the
mechanisms that transform regional and seasonal variations in solar insolation into glacial …

The widely accepted" Milankovitch theory" explains insolation-induced waxing and waning
of the ice sheets and their effect on the global climate on orbital timescales. In the past half …

Research on global ice-volume changes during Pleistocene glacial cycles is hindered by a
lack of detailed sea-level records for time intervals older than the last interglacial. Here we …

古气候与现代气候变化研究如何有效结合, 特别是古气候研究如何为理解现代气候变化过程提供
背景条件, 边界约束和理论框架, 值得深入探讨. 文章以现代, 历史时期, 全新世 …

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 …

Abstract The approximately 10,000-year-long Last Glacial Maximum, before the termination
of the last ice age, was the coldest period in Earth's recent climate history. Relative to the …
