So we can reconstruct Earth’s climate in time periods before humans measured the weather and climate. Our recent study investigated the climates of the UK and Ireland from 33 to 20 million years ...

Previous studies of pollen, sediments and other materials have been used to reconstruct past climate change. But “what we wanted to do is to focus on how people at the time felt the climate ...

The warming climate in polar regions may significantly disrupt ocean circulation patterns, a new study indicates. Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from ...

Geologists and palaeontologists sample ice, rock and fossils to reconstruct past climates and species and archaeologists pick through ancient “dustbins” (middens) in excavation sites to ...
