TLDR
In this article, a Holocene Climate Atlas (HOCLAT) is presented based on carefully selected 10,000-year-long time series of temperature and humidity/precipitation, as well as reconstructions of glacier advances.

Interglacials of the last 800,000 years

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify eleven interglacials in the last 800,000 years, a result that is robust to alternative definitions, such as the onset of an interglacial (glacial termination) seems to require a reducing precession parameter (increasing Northern Hemisphere summer insolation), but this condition alone is insufficient.

Holocene glacier fluctuations

TL;DR: A global overview of glacier advances and retreats (grouped by regions and by millennia) for the Holocene is compiled from previous studies as mentioned in this paper, which reconstructs of glacier fluctuations are based on mapping and dating moraines defined by 14 C, TCN, OSL, lichenometry and tree rings (discontinuous records/time series).

North-south palaeohydrological contrasts in the central Mediterranean during the Holocene: tentative synthesis and working hypotheses

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-proxy approach and a strategy combining lacustrine and marine records along a north-south transect were used to reconstruct high-resolution and well-dated palaeohydrological records and to assess their spatial and temporal coherency.

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

Climate and atmospheric history of the past 420,000 years from the Vostok ice core, Antarctica

TL;DR: The recent completion of drilling at Vostok station in East Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles.

TL;DR: The recent completion of drilling at Vostok station in East Antarctica has allowed the extension of the ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles as discussed by the authors.

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.

Persistent Solar Influence on North Atlantic Climate During the Holocene

TL;DR: 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.
