Beschreibungen

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 193.<br /><i><br />Abrupt Climate Change: Mechanisms, Patterns, and Impacts</i> brings together a diverse group of paleoproxy records such as ice cores, marine sediments, terrestrial (lakes and speleothems) archives, and coupled ocean-atmosphere climate models to document recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of abrupt climate changes. Since the discovery of the Dansgaard-Oeschger events in Greenland ice cores and the subsequent discovery of their contemporary events in the marine sediments of the North Atlantic, the search for these abrupt, millennial-scale events across the globe has intensified, and as a result, the number of paleoclimatic records chronicling such events has increased. The volume highlights include discussions of records of past climate variability, meridional overturning circulation, land-ocean-atmosphere interactions, feedbacks in the climate system, and global temperature anomalies. <i>Abrupt Climate Change</i> will be of interest to students, researchers, academics, and policy makers who are concerned about abrupt climate change and its potential impact on society.
