BACKGROUND Radiocarbon (14C) has long been recognized as providing an essential
dating method covering the past 55,000 years. However, the further role of 14C as a …

Modes of climate variability affect global and regional climates on different spatio-temporal
scales, and they have important impacts on human activities and ecosystems. As these …

Abstract The Laacher See eruption (LSE) in Germany ranks among Europe's largest
volcanic events of the Upper Pleistocene,. Although tephra deposits of the LSE represent an …

Radiocarbon (14C) ages cannot provide absolutely dated chronologies for archaeological
or paleoenvironmental studies directly but must be converted to calendar age equivalents …

Geological archives record multiple reversals of Earth's magnetic poles, but the global
impacts of these events, if any, remain unclear. Uncertain radiocarbon calibration has limited …

The peopling of the Americas marks a major expansion of humans across the planet.
However, questions regarding the timing and mechanisms of this dispersal remain, and the …

Abrupt climate changes during the last glacial period have been detected in a global array of
palaeoclimate records, but our understanding of their absolute timing and regional …

The past provides evidence of abrupt climate shifts and changes in the frequency of climate
and weather extremes. We explore the nonlinear response to orbital forcing and then …

Radiocarbon is an extremely useful carbon cycle tracer and radiometric dating tool. Here,
we review the main principles and challenges involved in the use of radiocarbon in …

Our understanding of climate dynamics during millennial-scale events is incomplete,
partially due to the lack of their precise phase analyses under various boundary conditions …
