DOI: 10.1002/jqs.3311
Abstract: The response of summer precipitation in the western U.S. to climate variability remains a subject of uncertainty. For example, paleoclimate records indicate the North American monsoon (NAM) was stronger and spatially more extensive during the… read more here.

The marine terraces of Santa Cruz Island, California: Implications for glacial isostatic adjustment models of last-interglacial sea-level history
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Geomorphology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2021.107826
Abstract: Abstract Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) models hypothesize that along coastal California, last interglacial (LIG, broadly from ~130 to ~115 ka) sea level could have been as high as +11 m to +13 m, relative to present, substantially higher… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quaint.2020.11.046
Abstract: Abstract Multidisciplinary research suggests that Marine Isotope Stage 5 (~130–74 ka) was an important evolutionary stage in African deep history. Population expansion and growth spurred changes in material culture as well as the exploration of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.04.031
Abstract: Abstract Elevated reef terraces in the northeast Gulf of Aqaba (GOA) constrain the history of tectonic uplift and local relative sea level changes during the last interglacial period. These relative sea level changes were inferred… read more here.

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and δ13C Variability During the Last Interglacial
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology"
DOI: 10.1029/2019pa003818
Abstract: The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is thought to be relatively vigorous and stable during Interglacial periods on multimillennial (equilibrium) timescales. However, recent proxy (δ13C benthic) reconstructions suggest that higher frequency variability in deep water… read more here.

Simulated Terrestrial Warming at the Last Interglacial Due to Vegetation Change
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology"
DOI: 10.1029/2025pa005225
Abstract: Paleo‐proxy records suggest that vegetation at the Last Interglacial (LIG) was different from pre‐industrial (PI), including a greener Sahara and a northward expanded boreal forest at high northern latitudes. Not accounting for these differences may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2025pa005272
Abstract: The delivery of nutrients from intermediate waters that form in the Southern Ocean is thought to be a key control on tropical ocean surface productivity. In this paper, we present geochemical evidence that an increase… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00552-1
Abstract: Coinciding with global warming, Arctic sea ice has rapidly decreased during the last four decades and climate scenarios suggest that sea ice may completely disappear during summer within the next about 50–100 years. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-63933-x
Abstract: The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) exerts substantial control on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the Southern Ocean, playing a key role in modulating the global carbon cycle and climate. However, the orbital-scale forcing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2107720119
Abstract: Significance Understanding the drivers of South Asian monsoon intensity is pivotal for improving climate forecasting under global warming scenarios. Solar insolation is assumed to be the dominant driver of monsoon variability in warm climate regimes,… read more here.

Re‐investigation of the Bispingen palaeolake sediment succession (northern Germany) reveals that the Last Interglacial (Eemian) in northern‐central Europe lasted at least ~15 000 years

DOI: 10.1111/bor.12649
Abstract: Investigating past interglacial climatic and environmental changes can enhance our understanding of the natural rates and ranges of climate variability under interglacial boundary conditions. However, comparing past interglacial palaeoclimate records from different regions and archives… read more here.
