Tandong Yao,Lonnie G. Thompson,Lonnie G. Thompson,Wei Yang,Wusheng Yu,Yang Gao,Xuejun Guo,Xiaoxin Yang,Keqin Duan,Huabiao Zhao,Baiqing Xu,Jiancheng Pu,Anxin Lu,Yang Xiang,Dambaru Ballab Kattel,Daniel R. Joswiak +15 more
TL;DR: This paper found that the most intensive glacier shrinkage is in the Himalayan region, whereas glacial retreat in the Pamir Plateau region is less apparent, due to changes in atmospheric circulations and precipitation patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tropical Climate Instability: The Last Glacial Cycle from a Qinghai-Tibetan Ice Core
Lonnie G. Thompson,Tandong Yao,Mary E. Davis,Keith Henderson,Ellen Mosley-Thompson,P.-N. Lin,J. Beer,H.-A. Synal,Jihong Cole-Dai,J. F. Bolzan +9 more
TL;DR: An ice core record from the Guliya ice cap on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau provides evidence of regional climatic conditions over the last glacial cycle as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late glacial stage and holocene tropical ice core records from huascaran, peru.
Lonnie G. Thompson,Ellen Mosley-Thompson,Mary E. Davis,P.-N. Lin,Keith Henderson,Jihong Cole-Dai,J. F. Bolzan,Kam-biu Liu +7 more
TL;DR: Two ice cores from the col of Huascar�n in the north-central Andes of Peru contain a paleoclimatic history extending well into the Wisconsinan (W�rm) Glacial Stage and include evidence of the Younger Dryas cool phase, implying that a strong warming has dominated the last two centuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
A High-Resolution Millennial Record of the South Asian Monsoon from Himalayan Ice Cores
Lonnie G. Thompson,Tandong Yao,Ellen Mosley-Thompson,Mary E. Davis,Mary E. Davis,Keith Henderson,Keith Henderson,P.-N. Lin +7 more
TL;DR: A high-resolution ice core record from Dasuopu, Tibet, reveals that this site is sensitive to fluctuations in the intensity of the South Asian Monsoon, and suggests a large-scale, plateau-wide 20th-century warming trend that appears to be amplified at higher elevations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kilimanjaro Ice Core Records: Evidence of Holocene Climate Change in Tropical Africa
Lonnie G. Thompson,Ellen Mosley-Thompson,Mary E. Davis,Keith Henderson,Henry H. Brecher,V. Zagorodnov,T. A. Mashiotta,P.-N. Lin,Vladimir Mikhalenko,Douglas R. Hardy,Jürg Beer +10 more
TL;DR: Variable deposition of F– and Na+during the African Humid Period suggests rapidly fluctuating lake levels between ∼11.7 and 4 ka, which is coincident with the “First Dark Age,” the period of the greatest historically recorded drought in tropical Africa.
