The Younger Dryas event is by far the best studied of the millennial-scale cold snaps of
glacial time. Yet its origin remains a subject of debate. The long-held scenario that the …

Drill cores obtained from Lake Petén Itzá, Petén, Guatemala, contain a∼ 85-kyr record of
terrestrial climate from lowland Central America that was used to reconstruct hydrologic …

Abstract Changes in the magnitude of millennial-scale climate variability (MCV) during the
Late Pleistocene occur as a function of changing background climate state over tens of …

During glacial periods of the Late Pleistocene, an abundance of proxy data demonstrates
the existence of large and repeated millennial-scale warming episodes, known as …

The climate of the Last Glacial period (10,000 to 110,000 years ago) was characterized by
rapid millennial-scale climate fluctuations termed Dansgaard/Oeschger (D/O) and Heinrich …

Glacial climate is marked by abrupt, millennial-scale climate changes known as Dansgaard–
Oeschger cycles. The most pronounced stadial coolings, Heinrich events, are associated …

Abstract Reconstructing Northern Hemisphere ice-sheet oscillations and meltwater routing
to the ocean is important to better understand the mechanisms behind abrupt climate …

This paper presents a thermal model for the prehistoric origin and development of clothing.
A distinction is drawn between simple and complex forms of clothing, with broad implications …

The study of Quaternary environmental change is directly applicable to on-going issues of
global conservation. Palaeoecological research techniques provide the tools to address …

The caatinga represents the largest and most isolated of the South American dry forests,
occupying more than 850,000 km2 in the semi-arid region of north-eastern Brazil …
