Earth's climate changed dramatically during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene 130,000 to 7,000 years ago, when cold glacial cycles transitioned into the current warmer interglacial. Such a ...

The Holocene climate in arid and semi-arid regions has been characterised by profound hydro-climatic fluctuations driven by orbitally induced monsoon variability, solar irradiance changes and, in the ...

This study is led by Dr. Shugui Hou (Nanjing University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University) and Dr. Hongxi Pang (Nanjing University). An ice core with the length of 127.8 m was drilled by Shugui Hou ...

In a recent review published in the journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, researchers discussed the role of climatic shifts and vegetation changes in driving the evolution within the subfamily ...
