Increased interglacial atmospheric CO2 levels followed the mid-Pleistocene Transition
Atmospheric CO 2 and polar ice volume have been strongly coupled over the past 805,000 years. However, the prior extent of coupling, during times of...

The Mid-Pleistocene Transition: a delayed response to an increasing positive feedback?
Glacial–interglacial cycles constitute large natural variations in Earth’s climate. The Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT) marks a shift of the...

Environmental dynamics of the western European Mediterranean landscape during the Pleistocene to Holocene transition
A strategic aim of research into climate change in the distant past is to respond to the contemporary challenges of global warming at the present....

Magnetic minerals in Mid-Pleistocene sediments on the Caiwei Guyot, Northwest Pacific and their response to the Mid-Brunhes climate event
Seamounts are ubiquitous topographic units in global oceans, and their influences on local oceanic circulation have attracted great attention in...
-
The influence of subpolar marine ice expansion on global climate in the Early Pleistocene
Major climatic-environmental transitions and ecological shifts occurred during the mid-Early Pleistocene, a time when external forcing conditions...

Pliocene and Pleistocene lagomorphs (Mammalia) from Northwest Africa: new discoveries
This work describes and interprets fossil lagomorphs from seven sites in the Maghreb the ages of which range from the Miocene/Pliocene boundary to...

Biogeochemistry of sedimentary organic matter in the Yongjiang River estuary in the southern part of Hangzhou Bay, China, since the Late Pleistocene
A sediment core (YJK19-02) collected from the southern outlet of Hangzhou Bay near the Yongjiang River estuary in East China was analyzed for grain...
-
Early Pleistocene East Antarctic temperature in phase with local insolation
Pleistocene glacial–interglacial cycles are hypothesized to be modulated by Earth’s orbital parameters through their influence on the Northern...
-
Persistent orbital influence on millennial climate variability through the Pleistocene
Abundant evidence from marine, ice-core and terrestrial records demonstrates that Earth’s climate has experienced co-evolution of orbital- and...

Quantitative Parameters of Pleistocene Sediments in the World Ocean
Based on deep-sea drilling data, the paper considers such quantitative parameters of Pleistocene sedimentation in the World Ocean as masses of dry...

Environmental, vegetational and climatic investigations during the Plio-Pleistocene in SW-Anatolia: A case study from the fluvio-lacustrine deposits in Uşak-Karahallı area
The Plio-Quaternary fluvio-lacustrine sediments located in the Uşak-Karahallı area (SW- Anatolia) have been investigated with multidisciplinary...

Late Pleistocene 100-kyr glacial cycles paced by precession forcing of summer insolation
Climate variability over the past 800,000 years has long been described as being dominated by ~100-kyr glacial cycles, and researchers have debated...

> 42 ka human teeth from El Castillo Cave (Cantabria, Spain) Mid-Upper Paleolithic transition
Three deciduous tooth crowns were found in Unit 18B in El Castillo Cave (Spain), considered a transitional Middle-Upper Paleolithic Unit with...

Fraser Island (K'gari) and initiation of the Great Barrier Reef linked by Middle Pleistocene sea-level change
The eastern Australia coastline is characterized by impressive coastal landforms and an extensive northward-moving longshore drift system that have...

Glacial reconstruction and periglacial dynamics at the end of Late Pleistocene on the surface of Cofre de Perote volcano, México: a climatological retrospective
Despite being within the intertropical region of the planet, the Mexican territory still has glacier-covered mountains. In recent decades, important...

State dependency of the forest-tundra-short wave feedback: comparing the mid-Pliocene and pre-industrial eras
The forest-tundra-short wave net radiation feedback is an important climatic feedback, especially due to its potential role in modulating glacial...

Pleistocene climate variability in eastern Africa influenced hominin evolution
Despite more than half a century of hominin fossil discoveries in eastern Africa, the regional environmental context of hominin evolution and...

First record of Pliocene (Zanclean to mid Piacenzian) marine deposits on Rhodes (Greece): implications for eastern Mediterranean palaeo(bio)geography
Pliocene (Zanclean to mid Piacenzian) marine deposits from Cape Vigli on southwestern Rhodes (Mediterranean Sea, Dodecanes, Greece) are described,...

What can we learn from geothermobarometry at the dacitic Doña Juana Volcanic Complex (Colombia)? Implications for understanding Pleistocene crystal mushes and pre-eruptive storage conditions in the Northern Andes
We present a reconstruction of the physicochemical conditions of melts in the Pleistocene storage and plumbing system of the Doña Juana Volcanic...
