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 …
