Paleoenvironmental reconstructions on a (supra-) regional scale have gained attention in
Quaternary sciences during the last decades. In terrestrial realms, loess deposits and …

Climate warming threatens to destabilize vast northern permafrost areas, potentially
releasing large quantities of organic carbon that could further disrupt the climate. Here we …

2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

The Periglacial Environment, Fourth Edition, is an authoritative overview of the world's cold,
non-glacial environments. First published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1996 and …

Permafrost thaw exposes previously frozen soil organic matter to microbial decomposition.
This process generates methane and carbon dioxide, and thereby fuels a positive feedback …

BACKGROUND Radiocarbon (14C) has long been recognized as providing an essential
dating method covering the past 55,000 years. However, the further role of 14C as a …

Two speleothem stable isotope records from East-Central Europe demonstrate that
Greenland Stadial 12 (GS12) and GS10—at 44.3–43.3 and 40.8–40.2 ka—were prominent …

In September 2016, the annual meeting of the International Union for Quaternary Research's
Loess and Pedostratigraphy Focus Group, traditionally referred to as a LoessFest, met in …

River incision into a widespread, upland low-relief landscape, and related patterns of
exhumation recorded by low-temperature thermochronology, together underpin geodynamic …

Uncertainty about the geological processes that deposited syngenetically frozen ice‐rich silt
(yedoma) across hundreds of thousands of square kilometres in central and northern Siberia …
