TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the climate-induced land cover changes (CILCC) in the RCPs and compare them to land use land cover change (LULCC), using an ensemble of simulations with and without LULCC in Earth System Model HadGEM2-ES (Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model 2).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare multi-ice core data with δ18O model output for the early last interglacial Antarctic sea ice minimum and find that the spatial pattern of δ 18O across Antarctica is sensitive to the spatial patterns of sea ice retreat.

TL;DR: This article evaluated the relationship between the qualitative information on past vegetation coverage and climate for the mid-Holocene using three different dynamic vegetation models, and compared with two available vegetation reconstructions, the models require 500-800 mm of rainfall over 20°−25°N, which is significantly larger than inferred from pollen but largely in agreement with more recent leaf wax biomarker reconstructions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodology for targeting new palaeo proxy data, based on model simulations, using the terrestrial late Miocene (11.6 to 5.3 Ma) as a case study.
