Reconstruction of Late Pleistocene Paleoenvironments Using Bulk Geochemistry of Paleosols from the Lake Victoria Region

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017
The impact of changing environments on the evolution and dispersal of Homo sapiens is highly debated, but few data are available from equatorial Africa. Lake Victoria is the largest freshwater lake in the tropics and is currently a biogeographic barrier ...

Resonantly Forced Baroclinic Waves in the Oceans: A New Approach to Climate Variability

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
How variations in Earth’s orbit pace the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary are probably one of the greatest mysteries of modern climate science.

PaleoRec: A sequential recommender system for the annotation of paleoclimate datasets

Environmental Data Science, 2022
Studying past climate variability is fundamental to our understanding of current changes. In the era of Big Data, the value of paleoclimate information critically depends on our ability to analyze large volume of data, which itself hinges on ...

Making climates comparable: Comparison in paleoclimatology [PDF]

, 2015
This article foregrounds comparison as a key practice in science by discussing the case of chronological comparability in paleoclimatology. Based on an ethnographic study of a paleoclimate research project, I illustrate how paleoclimatologists are able ...

The prescience of paleoclimatology and the future of the Antarctic ice sheet

Nature Communications, 2018
The emerging view that the West Antarctic ice sheet is in the early stage of collapse owes as much to paleoclimatology as to contemporary observations.

Seasonal Sea Surface Temperatures from Mercenaria spp. During the Plio-Pleistocene: Oxygen Isotope Versus Clumped Isotope Paleothermometers

Geosciences
The Mid-Piacenzian Warm Interval (MPWI) is marked by warmer temperatures and higher atmospheric CO2 levels than today, making it an analogue for late-21st-century-warming, whereas the early Pleistocene cooling is more like today.

Climate Change according to Ecuadorian academics–Perceptions versus facts

La Granja: Revista de Ciencias de la Vida, 2020
Climate change has become one of the most important topics in each country’s government agendas. The current effects demand quicker actions in order to decrease the speed at which the global warming and climate is changing, which are commonly seen in ...

The Nile and Climate History, 3000 BCE to 30 BCE

Heritage
The relationship between Nile flood variability and Egyptian political stability has been studied since Barbara Bell’s pioneering work in the 1970s, yet precise causal mechanisms linking environmental stress to societal crisis have remained elusive due ...
