Northern Hemisphere glaciation and the evolution of Plio‐Pleistocene climate noise
[1] Deterministic orbital controls on climate variability are commonly inferred to dominate across timescales of 10–10 years, although some studies have suggested that stochastic processes may be of equal or greater importance. Here we explicitly quantify changes in deterministic orbital processes (forcing and/or pacing) versus stochastic climate processes during the Plio‐Pleistocene, via time‐...
متن کاملAlternating high and low climate variability: The context of natural selection and speciation in Plio-Pleistocene hominin evolution.
Interaction of orbital insolation cycles defines a predictive model of alternating phases of high- and low-climate variability for tropical East Africa over the past 5 million years. This model, which is described in terms of climate variability stages, implies repeated increases in landscape/resource instability and intervening periods of stability in East Africa. It predicts eight prolonged (...
متن کاملEocene greenhouse climate revealed by coupled clumped isotope-Mg/Ca thermometry.
Past greenhouse periods with elevated atmospheric CO2 were characterized by globally warmer sea-surface temperatures (SST). However, the extent to which the high latitudes warmed to a greater degree than the tropics (polar amplification) remains poorly constrained, in particular because there are only a few temperature reconstructions from the tropics. Consequently, the relationship between inc...
متن کاملAssessment of temperature anomalies between present time and cold periods of Plio-Pleistocene using geomorphic indicators (case study: Kazab-Yazd)
Climate changes and remained geomorphic evidences due to the changes has been interested by geomorphologists in the world. Different researches have shown that world climate has been changed successively in Pleistocene so that with decreasing in temperature and probably increasing in precipitation, glaciers has been progressed and with increasing in temperature and decreasing in precipitation, ...
