Ice-proximal sea ice reconstruction in the Powell Basin, Antarctica, since the Last Interglacial by W. W. Khoo, J. Müller, J. Müller, J. Müller, O. Esper, W. Xiao, C. Stepanek, P. Gierz, G. Lohmann, G. Lohmann, G. Lohmann, W. Geibert, J. Hefter, G. Mollenhauer, G. Mollenhauer, G. Mollenhauer

“…Finally, despite similar findings between the proxy and model data, notable differences persist between both interglacials – emphasizing the necessity for different Antarctic ice sheet configurations to be employed and more robust paleoclimate data to enhance climate model performance close to the Antarctic continental margin.…”

Orbital cycle records in shallow unconsolidated sediments: implications for global carbon cycle and hydrate system evolution in deep-sea area sediments of the Qiongdongnan Basin by Yang Dong, Yang Dong, Ren Wang, Ren Wang, Jinqiang Liang, Yulin He, Jinfeng Ren, Wanzhong Shi, Wanzhong Shi, Xiaosong Wei, Xiaosong Wei, Hao Du, Hao Du, Xiangyang Xie, Arthur B. Busbey

“…An obliquity modulation period of approximately 170 kyr was identified in the TOC data, which may reflect the combined effects of obliquity and other orbital parameters.DiscussionSpectral analysis of paleoenvironmental indicators showed that long eccentricity cycle had varying degrees of influence on changes in paleoclimate, paleosalinity, and paleoredox conditions. …”

Last-millennium volcanic forcing and climate response using SO₂ emissions by L. R. Marshall, L. R. Marshall, L. R. Marshall, A. Schmidt, A. Schmidt, A. Schmidt, A. P. Schurer, N. L. Abraham, N. L. Abraham, L. J. Lücke, R. Wilson, K. J. Anchukaitis, G. C. Hegerl, B. Johnson, B. L. Otto-Bliesner, E. C. Brady, M. Khodri, K. Yoshida

“…Averaged across all large-magnitude eruptions, we find similar Northern Hemisphere (NH) summer cooling compared with other last-millennium climate simulations from the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project Phase 4 (PMIP4), run with both <span class="inline-formula">SO₂</span> emissions and prescribed forcing, and a continued overestimation of surface cooling compared with tree-ring reconstructions. …”

Global Warming: The Balance of Evidence and Its Policy Implications by Charles Keller

“…Of particular interest are advances that seem to explain why satellites do not see as much warming as surface instruments, how we are getting a good idea of recent paleoclimates, and why the 20th century temperature record was so complex. …”

Analysis of Sedimentary Environment Conditions for Lacustrine Fine-Grained Sedimentary Rocks and Its Control of Lithofacies Development: A Case Study of the Lower Submember of Memb... by Jun Peng, Ledan Yu, Tianyu Xu, Yubin Wang, Haodong Han

“…From the bottom up, it experienced the semideep, deep, and deep/semideep waters under the relatively dry-cold/relatively warm-wet, warm-wet, and warm-wet/relatively warm-wet paleoclimates, respectively. Correspondingly, the paleoredox transited three stages from reducibility to high reducibility to high reducibility/reducibility; the paleosalinity changed from saline water to brackish water to brackish/saline water. …”
