Persistence of full glacial conditions in the central Pacific until 15,000 years ago [PDF]
The magnitude of atmospheric cooling during the Last Glacial Maximum and the timing of the transition into the current interglacial period remain poorly constrained in tropical regions, partly because of a lack of suitable climate records.

Anatomy of a Dansgaard-Oeschger warming transition: High-resolution analysis of the North Greenland Ice Core Project ice core [PDF]
Large and abrupt temperature oscillations during the last glacial period, known as Dansgaard‐Oeschger (DO) events, are clearly observed in the Greenland ice core record.

Atmospheric methane variability: Centennial‐scale signals in the Last Glacial Period [PDF]
AbstractIn order to understand atmospheric methane (CH4) biogeochemistry now and in the future, we must apprehend its natural variability, without anthropogenic influence. Samples of ancient air trapped within ice cores provide the means to do this. Here we analyze the ultrahigh‐resolution CH4 record of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide ice core 67.2–

Hydrological processes affecting the subtropical NE Atlantic (34-38° N) over the last 30 ka: Evidence from phyto- and zooplankton assemblages [PDF]
International audienceNew dinocyst analyses were conducted on core MD99-2339 retrieved from the central Gulf of Cadiz. Dinocyst and foraminiferal assemblages from this core are combined with existing data off SW Portugal and NW Morocco to investigate ...

Grain Size Constraints on Glacial Circulation in the Southwest Atlantic [PDF]
Knowledge of past deep-ocean current speeds has the potential to inform our understanding of changes in the climate system on glacial-interglacial timescales, because they may be used to help constrain changes in deep-ocean circulation rates and pathways.

Yield responses of wild C3 and C4 crop progenitors to sub-ambient CO2 : A test for the role of CO2 limitation in the origin of agriculture. [PDF]
Limitation of plant productivity by the low partial pressure of atmospheric CO2 (Ca ) experienced during the last glacial period is hypothesised to have been an important constraint on the origins of agriculture.

100- kyr cyclicity in volcanic ash emplacement: evidence from a 1.1 Myr tephra record from the NW Pacific [PDF]
It is a longstanding observation that the frequency of volcanism periodically changes at times of global climate change. The existence of causal links between volcanism and Earth's climate remains highly controversial, partly because most related studies

Productivity patterns in the Equatorial Pacific over the last 30,000 years [PDF]
The equatorial Pacific traverses a number of productivity regimes, from the highly productive coastal upwelling along Peru to the near gyre-like productivity lows along the international dateline, making it an ideal target for investigating how ...
