The notion that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) can have more than
one stable equilibrium emerged in the 1980s as a powerful hypothesis to explain rapid …

This article provides a comprehensive review of the global monsoon that encompasses
findings from studies of both modern monsoons and paleomonsoons. We introduce a …

Last Glacial millennial-scale climate variability transitioned through distinct cold stadial and
warm interstadial states. Here we use Earth system model simulations to demonstrate that …

High-resolution speleothem records from China have provided insights into the factors that
control the strength of the East Asian monsoon,,,. Our understanding of these factors …

Interglacials, including the present (Holocene) period, are warm, low land ice extent (high
sea level), end‐members of glacial cycles. Based on a sea level definition, we identify …

We constructed an 800,000-year synthetic record of Greenland climate variability based on
the thermal bipolar seesaw model. Our Greenland analog reproduces much of the variability …

Abstract The Younger Dryas event, which began approximately 12,900 years ago, was a
period of rapid cooling in the Northern Hemisphere, driven by large-scale reorganizations of …

This paper presents a Levantine model for the origins of cultivation of various wild plants as
motivated by the vagaries of the climatic fluctuation of the Younger Dryas within the context …

We present a 3.2 Myr record of stable isotopes and physical properties at IODP Site U1308
(reoccupation of DSDP Site 609) located within the ice-rafted detritus (IRD) belt of the North …

Abstract Within the Late Pleistocene, terminations describe the major transitions marking the
end of glacial cycles. While it is established that abrupt shifts in the ocean/atmosphere …
