The isotope composition of authigenic and biogenic carbonates and diatom silica are
commonly used as palaeoclimate proxies from lake sediments. This article reviews the …

Speleothems are primarily studied in order to generate archives of climatic change and
results have led to significant advances in identifying and dating major shifts in the climate …

A comprehensive database of paleoclimate records is needed to place recent warming into
the longer-term context of natural climate variability. We present a global compilation of …

Abstract 8000 years ago, prior to Neolithic agriculture, Europe was mostly a wooded
continent. Since then, its forest cover has been progressively fragmented, so that today it …

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 …

An accurate representation of the spatial distribution of stable hydrogen and oxygen
isotopes in modern precipitation is required for many hydrological, paleoclimate, and …

Multi-proxy studies are becoming increasingly common in palaeolimnology. Eight basic
requirements and challenges for a multi-proxy study are outlined in this essay–definition of …

Lacustrine carbonates accumulate in all climates and in any tectonic situation. Their
depositional patterns are assessed through a database involving literature representing …

Lake isotope records can be used to assess the spatial coherency of Late Quaternary
climate change across the circum-Mediterranean region. We place modern and palaeo-data …

As the planet cooled from peak warmth in the early Cenozoic, extensive Northern
Hemisphere ice sheets developed by 2.6 Ma ago, leading to changes in the circulation of …
