Fundamental puzzles of climate science remain unsolved because of our limited
understanding of how clouds, circulation and climate interact. One example is our inability to …

There is large uncertainty about the magnitude of warming and how rainfall patterns will
change in response to any given scenario of future changes in atmospheric composition and …

The last 6000years are of particular interest to the understanding of the Earth System
because the boundary conditions of the climate system did not change dramatically (in …

The mid-Holocene (6000 years ago) is a standard experiment for the evaluation of the
simulated response of global climate models using paleoclimate reconstructions. The latest …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Aim We aim to propose validated, spatially explicit hypotheses for the late Quaternary
distribution of the Brazilian Atlantic forest, and thereby provide a framework for integrating …

Fire activity has varied globally and continuously since the last glacial maximum (LGM) in
response to long-term changes in global climate and shorter-term regional changes in …

This paper is the first of a series of four GMD papers on the PMIP4-CMIP6 experiments. Part
2 (Otto-Bliesner et al., 2017) gives details about the two PMIP4-CMIP6 interglacial …

The modeling of paleoclimate, using physically based tools, is increasingly seen as a strong
out-of-sample test of the models that are used for the projection of future climate changes …

This paper integrates recent efforts to map the distribution of biomes for the late Quaternary
with the detailed evidence that plant species have responded individualistically to climate …
