TL;DR: The authors reconstructed past temperatures for seven continental-scale regions during the past one to two millennia and found that the most coherent feature in nearly all of the regional temperature reconstructions is a long-term cooling trend, which ended late in the nineteenth century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing and climate forcing of volcanic eruptions for the past 2,500 years

TL;DR: It is shown that large eruptions in the tropics and high latitudes were primary drivers of interannual-to-decadal temperature variability in the Northern Hemisphere during the past 2,500 years and cooling was proportional to the magnitude of volcanic forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooling and societal change during the Late Antique Little Ice Age from 536 to around 660 AD

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used tree-ring chronologies from the Russian Altai and European Alps to reconstruct summer temperatures over the past two millennia and found an unprecedented, longlasting and spatially synchronized cooling following a cluster of large volcanic eruptions in 536, 540 and 547 AD.

TL;DR: A north-to-south directionality of the abrupt climatic signal is demonstrated, which is propagated to the Southern Hemisphere high latitudes by oceanic rather than atmospheric processes, which confirms a central role for ocean circulation in the bipolar seesaw.
Journal ArticleDOI
Onset of deglacial warming in West Antarctica driven by local orbital forcing

TL;DR: Results from a new, annually resolved ice-core record from West Antarctica suggest a more active role for the Southern Ocean in the onset of deglaciation than is inferred from ice cores in the East Antarctic interior, which are largely isolated from sea-ice changes.
