The last glacial maximum (LGM) outline and subsequent retreat pattern (21–7kyr) of North
American ice sheets are reasonably well established. However, the evolution of the ice …

The glacial-interglacial variability of precipitation and its driving mechanism in monsoonal
regions has long been a subject of debate. However, there are few records of quantitative …

Past deglacial ice sheet reconstructions have generally relied upon discipline-specific
constraints with no attention given to the determination of objective confidence intervals …

The Last Glacial Maximum climate is one of the classical benchmarks used both to test the
ability of coupled models to simulate climates different from that of the present-day and to …

The last deglaciation (21 to 7 thousand years ago) was punctuated by several abrupt
meltwater pulses, which sometimes caused noticeable climate change,. Around 14 …

Parallel evolution of similar phenotypes provides strong evidence for the operation of natural
selection. Where these phenotypes contribute to reproductive isolation, they further support …

A new version of the Earth system model of intermediate complexity, CLIMBER-2, which
includes the three-dimensional polythermal ice-sheet model SICOPOLIS, is used to simulate …

Global climate change is having a significant effect on the distributions of a wide variety of
species, causing both range shifts and population extinctions. To date, however, no …

Heinrich events, identified as enhanced ice-rafted detritus (IRD) in North Atlantic deep sea
sediments (Heinrich, 1988; Hemming, 2004) have classically been attributed to Laurentide …

Palaeoclimate records have revealed the presence of millennial-scale climate oscillations
throughout the last glacial period. Six periods of extreme cooling in the Northern …
