Information from paleoclimate archives

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reconstruct the Southwest Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) for the mid-Pliocene Warm Period (mPWP; 3.3–3.0), which has been widely considered a past analogue with an equilibrium surface temperature response of +3 °C to an atmospheric CO₂ concentration of ~350&ndhash;400 ppm.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined diatom assemblages over the last glacial cycle from core TAN1302-44, from off Adélie Land, East Antarctica.

TL;DR: In this article, the climate dynamics of past interglacials (IGs) may help to better assess the anthropogenically influenced dynamics of the current IG, the Holocene.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 53-Myr stack (LR04) of benthic δ18O records from 57 globally distributed sites aligned by an automated graphic correlation algorithm is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a special report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX) has been jointly coordinated by Working Groups I (WGI) and II (WGII) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

TL;DR: The recent completion of drilling at Vostok station in East Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, new values for the astronomical parameters of the Earth's orbit and rotation (eccentricity, obliquity and precession) are proposed for paleoclimatic research related to the Late Miocene, the Pliocene and the Quaternary.
