We present a new gridded climate reconstruction for Europe for the last 12,000 years based
on pollen data. The reconstruction is an update of Davis et al.(2003) using the same …

Fossils of chironomid larvae (non‐biting midges) preserved in lake sediments are well‐
established palaeotemperature indicators which, with the aid of numerical chironomid …

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 …

Multiproxy climate records from Iceland document complex changes in terrestrial climate
and glacier fluctuations through the Holocene, revealing some coherent patterns of change …

Assessing initiation of rock-slope deformation and paleo-slip rates of rockslides is important
to understand the impact of climate variability-in particular permafrost changes-on rockslide …

Iceland is well situated to monitor North Atlantic Holocene climate variability. Terrestrial sites
there offer the potential for well-dated, high-resolution, continuous records of environmental …

Calibration data sets give a unique opportunity to establish patterns of biological existence
and their statistical associations with environmental variables. By use of calibration data …

Understanding patterns of colonisation is important for explaining both the distribution of
single species and anticipating how ecosystems may respond to global warming. Insular …

Agriculture has been practiced in Iceland since settlement (landnám; AD 877). This has
caused changes in vegetation communities, soil erosion, desertification and loss of carbon …

Predicting the response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to future climate change presents a
major challenge to climate science. Paleoclimate data from Greenland can provide empirical …
