Description / Table of Contents:
Deals with our understanding of natural climate change, its variability on decadal to centennial time-scales, the extent to which climate models of different kinds simulate past variability, and the role of past climate variability in explaining changes to natural ecosystems and to human society over the later part of the Holocene. Contents: 1. Holocene climate variability and global warming Richard W. Battarbee . 2. Holocene climate research - progress, paradigms, and problems. H. John B. Birks . 3. The role of people in the Holocene. Frank Oldfield. 4. Modelling the climate of the Holocene. Michel Crucifix . 5. The early to mid-Holocene thermal optimum in the North Atlantic. Eystein Jansen, Carin Andersson, Matthias Moros, Kerim H. Nisancioglu, Birgitte F. Nyland, and Richard J. Telford. 6. Holocene climate change and the evidence for solar and other forcings. Juerg Beer and Bas van Geel . 7. Climate of the past millennium: combining proxy data and model simulations. Hugues Goosse, Michael E. Mann, and Hans Renssen. 8. Latitudinal linkages in late-Holocene moisture-balance variation. Dirk Verschuren and Dan J. Charman . 9. Holocene rapid land-cover changes - evidence and theory. Martin Claussen. 10. Holocene perspectives on future climate change. Ray Bradley .
