The SPECIAL group has a long history of working with scientists from the Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología in Zaragoza, first through the DINAMO3 project and now through the wonderfully named…Read More >
What are the drivers of regional-scale speleothem oxygen isotope trends? By Sarah Parker
The first paper of my PhD, “A data-model approach to interpreting speleothem oxygen isotope records from monsoon regions on orbital timescales”, is available online at Climate of the Past Discussions…Read More >
A Method for Generating Coherent Spatially Explicit Maps of Seasonal Paleoclimates From Site‐Based Reconstructions by Sandy P. Harrison
The good news this morning is that Sean’s paper describing the new method he’s developed to reconstruct palaeoclimate using data assimilation techniques has been published (open access, of course) In…Read More >
New theoretic-based approach of quantifying climatic influences on tree-ring width. By Guangqi Li
The narrow-wide pattern of tree-ring width records past climate change, which makes tree-ring width a major archive for the palaeo climate reconstruction, especially for the last millennium. To use tree-ring…Read More >
