Chironomid vs pollen: Holocene climate change in southern Europe

Pollen-inferred summer temperature reconstructions from southern Europe show cool early-Holocene summers and warmer late-Holocene summers (Davis et al 2003, Mauri et al 2015). In contrast,  warm early-Holocene summers are reconstructed elsewhere in Europe and most of the mid-high latitude Northern … Continue reading

Mauri et al (2015) make a gridded climate reconstruction for Europe over the Holocene based on almost 900 pollen stratigraphies. The hope is that the reconstruction will be useful for evaluating climate models. This is a useful goal – if the climate models … Continue reading
