TL;DR: In this paper, the grain size of soil and sediment samples is determined by the sieve method for the coarse fractions and by the pipette method, based on the Stokes sedimentation rates, for the fine fractions.

TL;DR: The geographical position of the convergence zone where the western Atlantic climate system meets the Asian (winter) monsoonal system depends on their relative strength as discussed by the authors, which is determined by the intensities of the air pressure gradients over the North Atlantic, and the Siberian High Pressure Cell, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, a composite pollen-based record of altitudinal vegetation changes from Lake Fuquene (5° N) in Colombia at 2540 m elevation was developed, and the reconstructed MAT record largely concurred with the ~100 and 41-kyr (obliquity) paced glacial cycles and is superimposed by extreme changes of up to 7 to 10° Celsius within a few hundred years at the major glacial terminations and during marine isotope stage 3.

TL;DR: Grain-size characteristics of the aeolian Red Clay sediment series in China demonstrate the existence of warm-cool alternations during the late Miocene and Pliocene.

TL;DR: The Niers-Rhine experienced a channel pattern change from braided, via a transformational phase, to meandering in the early Late Glacial as discussed by the authors, which is explained by climate amelioration at the Late Pleniglacial to late Glacial transition and climate-related hydrological, lithological and vegetation changes.
