Interglacials, including the present (Holocene) period, are warm, low land ice extent (high
sea level), end‐members of glacial cycles. Based on a sea level definition, we identify …

As the planet cooled from peak warmth in the early Cenozoic, extensive Northern
Hemisphere ice sheets developed by 2.6 Ma ago, leading to changes in the circulation of …

Marked by a progressive increase in the amplitude of climate oscillations, an evolving
waveform, and a shift towards a quasi-100 ky frequency, the Early–Middle Pleistocene …

We investigate the issue of" dangerous human-made interference with climate" using
simulations with GISS modelE driven by measured or estimated forcings for 1880–2003 and …

The cities of West Africa's Middle Niger, only recently brought to the world's attention, make
us rethink the'whys' and the'wheres' of ancient urbanism. They present the archaeologist …

Paleoclimatic records show that the Greenland Ice Sheet consistently has lost mass in
response to warming, and grown in response to cooling. Such changes have occurred even …

Abstract Interglacials of the Quaternary Period are currently the focus of a great deal of
attention within the scientific community. This is primarily because they play a vital role in …

Multidisciplinary investigations of the sequence at Beeches Pit, West Stow (Suffolk, UK),
have a direct bearing the age of the Hoxnian Interglacial and its correlation with the …

The climatic signal of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11 is well-documented in marine and ice-
sheet isotopic records and is known to comprise at least two major warm episodes with an …

Stable isotope and ice-rafted debris records from three core sites in the mid-latitude North
Atlantic (IODP Site U1313, MD01-2446, MD03-2699) are combined with records of ODP …
