Analysis of a Precambrian resonance-stabilized day length [PDF]
During the Precambrian era, Earth's decelerating rotation would have passed a 21-hour period that would have been resonant with the semidiurnal atmospheric thermal tide.

Neotropical Bird Migration During The Ice Ages: Orientation And Ecology [PDF]
Reconstruction of breeding habitat of North American Neotropical migrants 18,000 years ago and 9,000 years ago indicated major shifts in both location and composition of plant communities relative to present conditions.

Reconciling diverse lacustrine and terrestrial system response to penultimate deglacial warming in southern Europe [PDF]
Unlike the most recent deglaciation, the regional expression of climate changes during the penultimate deglaciation remains understudied, even though it led into a period of excess warmth with estimates of global average temperature 1–2 °C, and sea level

Sea surface temperature changes in the southern California borderlands during the last glacial-interglacial cycle [PDF]
A variety of evidence suggests that average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) during the last glacial maximum in the California Borderlands region were significantly colder than during the Holocene.

Glacial varves at the distal slope of Pandivere-Neva ice-recessional formations in western Estonia [PDF]
The distribution and varve thickness data of Late Weichselian varved clay were analyzed to describe the proglacial sedimentary environment, ice recession and water-level changes in the Baltic Ice Lake at the distal position of Pandivere–Neva (13.5–13.1 ...

Northern Hemisphere Glaciation during the Globally Warm Early Late Pliocene [PDF]
The early Late Pliocene (3.6 to ~3.0 million years ago) is the last extended interval in Earth's history when atmospheric CO2 concentrations were comparable to today's and global climate was warmer.

Timing of the Baltic Ice Lake in the eastern Baltic [PDF]
A shoreline database for the Baltic, covering the Late Weichselian and Holocene, was compiled. The database includes about 1600 sites from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Fin- land, NW Russia, Poland, Sweden and was used to create a GIS-based ...

Evidence for elevated emissions from high-latitude wetlands contributing to high atmospheric CH4 concentration in the early Holocene [PDF]
The major increase in atmospheric methane (CH4) concentration during the last glacial-interglacial transition provides a useful example for understanding the interactions and feedbacks among Earth\u27s climate, biosphere carbon cycling, and atmospheric ...

Climate bifurcation during the last deglaciation [PDF]
Abstract. The last deglaciation was characterised by two abrupt warming events, at the start of the Bølling-Allerød and at the end of the Younger Dryas, but their underlying causes are unclear. Some abrupt climate changes may involve gradual forcing past a bifurcation point, in which a prevailing climate state loses its stability and the climate tips ...
