TLDR
A solar forcing mechanism therefore may underlie at least the Holocene segment of the North Atlantic's “1500-year” cycle, potentially providing an additional mechanism for amplifying the solar signals and transmitting them globally.Abstract:
Surface winds and surface ocean hydrography in the subpolar North Atlantic appear to have been influenced by variations in solar output through the entire Holocene. The evidence comes from a close correlation between inferred changes in production rates of the cosmogenic nuclides carbon-14 and beryllium-10 and centennial to millennial time scale changes in proxies of drift ice measured in deep-sea sediment cores. A solar forcing mechanism therefore may underlie at least the Holocene segment of the North Atlantic's "1500-year" cycle. The surface hydrographic changes may have affected production of North Atlantic Deep Water, potentially providing an additional mechanism for amplifying the solar signals and transmitting them globally.read more

Climate patterns in north central China during the last 1800 yr and their possible driving force
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution precisely-dated stalagmite records and historical document records from north central China were used to reconstruct a decadal resolution precipitation record during the last 1800 years (190-1980 AD).

TL;DR: In this article, a model of overbank deposition of suspended glaciofluvial sediments was used to reconstruct the Holocene variations of Bjornbreen, Smorstabbtinden massif, west-central Jotunheimen, from the lithostratigraphy of two alpine stream-bank mires flooded episodically by meltwater.

Fishing down the food web : A case study from St. Augustine, Florida, USA
TL;DR: Pauly et al. as mentioned in this paper compared zooarchaeological data for Native American, Spanish, and British occupations with modern fisheries data from St. Johns County, Florida (USA) to show differences in the use of marine resources from 1450 B.C through A.D. 2000.

Habitable zones in the universe
TL;DR: This work reviews the historical development of the concept of habitable zones, the present state of the research, and suggest ways to make progress on each of the habitable zones and to unify them into a single concept encompassing the entire universe.

A Pervasive Millennial-Scale Cycle in North Atlantic Holocene and Glacial Climates

TL;DR: In this paper, the North Atlantic deep sea cores reveal that abrupt shifts punctuated what is conventionally thought to have been a relatively stable Holocene climate, and they make up a series of climate shifts with a cyclicity close to 1470 ± 500 years, which is the most recent manifestation of a pervasive millennial-scale climate cycle operating independently of the glacial-interglacial climate state.

Revised carbonate-water isotopic temperature scale
TL;DR: The relationship between temperature and O(18) content relative to that for a Cretaceous belemnite of the Pee Dee formation previously reported (Epstein, Buchsbaum, Lowenstam, and Urey, 1951) has been re-determined using modified procedures for removing organic matter from shells, and is found to be 16.5 - 4.3 δ + 0.14 δ^2
