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 …

While current projections of future climate change associated with increases in atmospheric
greenhouse gases have a high degree of uncertainty, the potential effects of climate change …

The genetic effects of pleistocene ice ages are approached by deduction from
paleoenvironmental information, by induction from the genetic structure of populations and …

Population structure is the result of both present processes and past history. Molecular
markers are proving of great value in describing the former, and it is important to similarly …

It is a widely held belief that a climax vegetation of closed forest systems covered the
lowlands of Central and Western Europe before humans intervened in prehistoric times to …

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 …

Ever since the discovery of fossil remains of extinct animals associated with flint implements,
bones and other animal remains have been providing invaluable information to the …

The present study is based on a detailed analysis of the Lateglacial type section from
Usselo. In addition to pollen, seeds and insect assemblages many other hitherto …

_C urrent human development and population trends suggest to all but the very optimistic
that by the next century most other surviving terrestrial species may well be relegated to …

Reviews the physics of the concept of solar forcing, tracing its history from its beginnings in
the early 1800s to its apparent success in the 1920s, to its near demise in the 1950s and its …
