Abstract Given that middle latitude weather systems transport heat in a manner such as to weaken the baroclinicity that is thought to be crucial to their growth, it is perhaps surprising that…

Abstract. The scientific understanding of the Earth's climate system, including the central question of how the climate system is likely to respond to human-induced perturbations, is comprehensively…
Constant elevation of southern Tibet over the past 15 million years
It is concluded that the elevation of the southern Tibetan plateau probably has remained unchanged for the past 15 Myr, similar to the present-day altitude of 4,600 m.

Aim
To produce a robust, comprehensive global biome reconstruction for the Middle Pliocene (c. 3.6–2.6 Ma), which is based on an internally consistent palaeobotanical data set and a…
Results of PMIP2 coupled simulations of the Mid-Holocene and Last Glacial Maximum – Part 2: feedbacks with emphasis on the location of the ITCZ and mid- and high latitudes heat budget

A set of coupled ocean-atmosphere(-vegetation) simulations using state of the art climate models is now available for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the Mid-Holocene (MH) through the second phase…
Deglacial rapid sea level rises caused by ice-sheet saddle collapses

- 12 July 2012
An ice-sheet modelling simulation is presented in which the separation of the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets in North America produces a meltwater pulse corresponding to MWP-1A, which could be associated with the ‘8,200-year’ event and sheds light on the consequences of these events on climate.
Closure of the Panama Seaway during the Pliocene: implications for climate and Northern Hemisphere glaciation
- D. Lunt, P. Valdes, A. Haywood, I. Rutt
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 2006
The “Panama Hypothesis” states that the gradual closure of the Panama Seaway, between 13 million years ago (13 Ma) and 2.6 Ma, led to decreased mixing of Atlantic and Pacific water Masses, the…
Earth system sensitivity inferred from Pliocene modelling and data

- 2010
Quantifying the equilibrium response of global temperatures to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations is one of the cornerstones of climate research. Components of the Earth’s…
Quaternary climate changes explain diversity among reptiles and amphibians
