LGM permafrost distribution: how well can the latest PMIP multi-model ensembles perform reconstruction? Climate of the Past DOI 10.5194/cp-9-1697-2013 1 August 2013 Here, global-scale frozen ground distribution from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has been reconstructed using multi-model ensembles of global climate models, and then compared with evidence-based knowledge and earlier numerical results.

On the effect of orbital forcing on mid-Pliocene climate, vegetation and ice sheets Climate of the Past DOI 10.5194/cp-9-1749-2013 1 August 2013 We present results from modelling of the mid-Pliocene warm period (3.3–3 million years ago) using the Earth system model of intermediate complexity CLIMBER-2 analysing the effect of changes in boundary conditions as well as of orbital forcing on climate.

Detailed insight into Arctic climatic variability during MIS 11c at Lake El’gygytgyn, NE Russia Climate of the Past DOI 10.5194/cp-9-1467-2013 15 July 2013 Here we present a detailed multi-proxy record of the climate and environmental evolution at Lake El’gygytgyn, Far East Russian Arctic during the period 430–395 ka covering the marine isotope stage (MIS) 12/11 transition and the thermal maximum of super interglacial MIS 11c.

Direct linking of Greenland and Antarctic ice cores at the Toba eruption (74 ka BP) Climate of the Past DOI 10.5194/cp-9-749-2013 19 March 2013 In this work we suggest a direct synchronization of Greenland and Antarctic ice cores at the Toba eruption based on matching of a pattern of bipolar volcanic spikes. Annual layer counting between volcanic spikes in both cores allows for a unique match. Read more
What could have caused pre-industrial biomass burning emissions to exceed current rates? Climate of the Past DOI 10.5194/cp-9-289-2013 31 January 2013 Recent studies based on trace gas mixing ratios in ice cores and charcoal data surprisingly indicate that biomass burning emissions over the past millennium exceeded contemporary emissions by up to a factor of 4 for certain time periods. We have analysed how emissions from several landscape biomass burning sources could have fluctuated to yield emissions that are in correspondence with recent results based on ice core mixing ratios of carbon monoxide and its isotopic signature measured at South Pole station.
