Research on climate changes between the last interglacial period and Holocene renders a speculation on the tendency of present climate. Fully understanding the nature of the changes will play a significant role in a better understanding of global climate change. This work discussed the climate change of the last interglacial period and Holocene in

Late Pleistocene pollen flora with Larix from till-covered esker at Hietamäki, Ostrobothnia, western Finland [PDF]
A till-covered layer of clay, fine sand and organic-bearing silt was found at Hietamäki near Haapajärvi, Ostrobothnia (Pohjanmaa), western Finland. The organic-bearing silt layer is an infill sediment in a dead ice hollow within a glaciofluvial formation

Palaeosols as Quaternary stratigraphic key horizons in Ostrobothnia, western Finland [PDF]
In Ostrobothnia, western Finland, palaeosols have been recognized at several sites in the sandy deposits between glaciofluvial sediments and the overlying till. The palaeosols resemble postglacial podzol. As climatic conditions changed, the palaeosols at

Naakenavaara Interglacial - a till-covered peat deposit in western Finnish Lapland [PDF]
More than 100 till-covered organic deposits are currently known in the Finnish Lapland. All others, except Naakenavaara, are interpreted as having deposited during either the Early-Weichselian Peräpohjola/Maaselkä interstadial or the Eemian interglacial ...

Orbital controls on eastern African hydroclimate in the Pleistocene
Understanding eastern African paleoclimate is critical for contextualizing early human evolution, adaptation, and dispersal, yet Pleistocene climate of this region and its governing mechanisms remain poorly understood due to the lack of long, orbitally ...
