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 …

Global surface temperature has increased≈ 0.2° C per decade in the past 30 years, similar
to the warming rate predicted in the 1980s in initial global climate model simulations with …

Paleoclimate data show that climate sensitivity is~ 3 deg-C for doubled CO2, including only
fast feedback processes. Equilibrium sensitivity, including slower surface albedo feedbacks …

Orbital-scale global climatic changes during the late Quaternary are dominated by high-
latitude influenced~ 100,000-year global ice-age cycles and monsoon influenced~ 23,000 …

Goriganga valley, which is located in the transition zone between the dry steppe of the
Tibetan plateau in the north and the sub-humid Himalayan climate in the south, has …

Detailed field mapping of glacial and paraglacial landforms supported by optical and
radiocarbon dating is used to reconstruct the history of late Quaternary glaciation and …

A detailed reconstruction of West African monsoon hydrology over the past 155,000 years
suggests a close linkage to northern high-latitude climate oscillations. Ba/Ca ratio and …

Palaeoclimate data show that the Earth's climate is remarkably sensitive to global forcings.
Positive feedbacks predominate. This allows the entire planet to be whipsawed between …

Despite the numerous studies proposing early human population expansions from Africa
into Arabia during the Late Pleistocene, no archaeological sites have yet been discovered in …

Paleoclimate data help us assess climate sensitivity and potential human-made climate
effects. We conclude that Earth in the warmest interglacial periods of the past million years …
