Scientists are working to shed new light on an enduring climate mystery—one that, if solved, could help them make more ...

These paleotemperature estimates are inferred from geochemical indicators analyzed on microfossils extracted from deep-sea sediments, which are also known as paleoclimate proxies. Before ...

In the field of paleoclimatology, our overarching objective is to use the geologic record to understand how Earth’s climate system operates. Paleoceanography may focus on the role of the oceans in ...

and on using isotopic tracers in the ocean to improve model-data comparisons and provide dynamical insights for paleoclimate. May 2021: Graduation - Abigail Smith, Alexandra Jahn, Patricia ...

Paleoclimate and archaeological evidence tells us that, 11,000-5,000 years ago, the Earth's slow orbital 'wobble' transformed today's Sahara desert to a land covered with vegetation and lakes.

Until now, little was known about the former climate of the Arabian Peninsula, as analyses of paleoclimate archives such as dripstones were lacking. However, fossil finds prove that water-dependent ...
