Heinrich events: Massive late Pleistocene detritus layers of the North Atlantic and their global climate imprint

SR Hemming - Reviews of Geophysics, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Millennial climate oscillations of the glacial interval are interrupted by extreme events, the so‐
called Heinrich events of the North Atlantic. Their near‐global footprint is a testament to …

Ocean circulation and climate during the past 120,000 years

S Rahmstorf - Nature, 2002 - nature.com
Oceans cover more than two-thirds of our blue planet. The waters move in a global
circulation system, driven by subtle density differences and transporting huge amounts of …

Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2 C global warming could be dangerous

J Hansen, M Sato, P Hearty, R Ruedy… - Atmospheric …, 2016 - acp.copernicus.org
We use numerical climate simulations, paleoclimate data, and modern observations to study

Beyond the bipolar seesaw: Toward a process understanding of interhemispheric coupling

JB Pedro, M Jochum, C Buizert, F He, S Barker… - Quaternary Science …, 2018 - Elsevier
The thermal bipolar ocean seesaw hypothesis was advanced by Stocker and Johnsen
(2003) as the 'simplest possible thermodynamic model'to explain the time relationship …

Direct astronomical influence on abrupt climate variability

X Zhang, S Barker, G Knorr, G Lohmann… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
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 …

Molecular proxies for paleoclimatology

TI Eglinton, G Eglinton - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2008 - Elsevier
We summarize the applications of molecular proxies in paleoclimatology. Marine molecular
records especially are proving to be of value but certain environmentally persistent …

North Atlantic ocean circulation and abrupt climate change during the last glaciation

LG Henry, JF McManus, WB Curry, NL Roberts… - Science, 2016 - science.org
The most recent ice age was characterized by rapid and hemispherically asynchronous
climate oscillations, whose origin remains unresolved. Variations in oceanic meridional heat …

Abrupt glacial climate shifts controlled by ice sheet changes

X Zhang, G Lohmann, G Knorr, C Purcell - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
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 …

Hydrological impact of Heinrich events in the subtropical northeast Atlantic

E Bard, F Rostek, JL Turon, S Gendreau - Science, 2000 - science.org
Reconstructing the impact of Heinrich events outside the main belt of ice rafting is crucial to
understanding the underlying causes of these abrupt climatic events. A high-resolution study …
