Journal ArticleDOI
Methods and code for 'classical' age-modelling of radiocarbon sequences.
TL;DR: In this article, an alternative method based on importance sampling through calibrated dates is proposed, which works with calibrated radiocarbon as well as other dates, and provides a simple, systematic, transparent, documented and customizable alternative.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prehistoric and preindustrial deforestation of Europe
TL;DR: In this article, the authors created a very high resolution, annually resolved time series of anthropogenic deforestation in Europe over the past three millennia by digitizing and synthesizing a database of population history for Europe and surrounding areas.

TL;DR: The longest and highest-resolution drill core from Lake Qinghai on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is presented, which uniquely records the variability of both the Westerlies and the ASM since 32 ka, reflecting the interplay of these two systems.

TL;DR: A review of late-Holocene palaeoclimaoclimatology represents the results from a PAGES/CLIVAR Intersection Panel meeting that took place in June 2006 as mentioned in this paper, emphasizing current issues in their use for climate reconstruction; various approaches that have been adopted to combine multiple climate proxy records to provide estimates of past annual-to-decadal timescale Northern Hemisphere surface temperatures and other climate variables, such as large-scale circulation indices; and the forcing histories used in climate model simulations of the past millennium.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the changing state of European permafrost within a spatial zone that includes the continuous high latitude arctic permfrost of Svalbard and the discontinuous high altitude mountain permaffrost of Iceland, Fennoscandia and the Alps.
