Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid coupling between ice volume and polar temperature over the past 150,000 years
Katharine M. Grant,Eelco J. Rohling,Eelco J. Rohling,Miryam Bar-Matthews,Avner Ayalon,Martín Medina-Elizalde,C. Bronk Ramsey,Christopher Satow,Andrew P. Roberts +8 more
TL;DR: An independent dating of a continuous, high-resolution sea-level record in millennial-scale detail throughout the past 150,000 years is presented and it is found that the timing of ice-volume fluctuations agrees well with that of variations in Antarctic climate and especially Greenland climate.

TL;DR: This work presents a stricter approach to improve intercomparison of palaeoclimate sensitivity estimates in a manner compatible with equilibrium projections for future climate change, and reveals a climate sensitivity over the past 65 million years of 0.3–1.9 at 95% or 68% probability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mid-Pleistocene transition in the tropical Pacific.
TL;DR: A sea surface temperature (SST) record based on planktonic foraminiferal magnesium/calcium ratios from a site in the western equatorial Pacific warm pool reveals that glacial-interglacial oscillations in SST shifted from a period of 41,000 to 100,000 years at the mid-Pleistocene transition, 950, 000 years before the present as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
High resolution stalagmite climate record from the Yucatán Peninsula spanning the Maya terminal classic period
Martín Medina-Elizalde,Stephen J. Burns,David W. Lea,Yemane Asmerom,Lucien von Gunten,Victor J. Polyak,Mathias Vuille,Ambarish V. Karmalkar +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new, absolute-dated, highresolution stalagmite?18O record from the northwest Yucatan Peninsula that provides a much more detailed picture of climate variability during the last 1500 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collapse of classic maya civilization related to modest reduction in precipitation
TL;DR: It is concluded that the droughts occurring during the disintegration of the Maya civilization represented up to a 40% reduction in annual precipitation, probably due to a reduction in summer season tropical storm frequency and intensity.
