Why did C4 plants march southward across East Asia as the climate cooled across the Neogene? Our new paper: the westerly jet shifted, summer rains followed, and so did the ecosystems. 7 Myr of loess records tell the story. doi.org/10.1038/s414... @natcomms.nature.com

We have a new preprint out here: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-8... We found a somewhat unexpected result - leaf wax hydrogen isotopes become consistently depleted in response to the rapid warming events of the last glacial period (DO events).

Leaf wax isotopes reveal enhanced humidity and earlier growing season during Dansgaard-Oeschger warming events in Europe
The study of past abrupt warming events provides knowledge of climate dynamics that are critical for future projections. During the last glacial period, Dansgaard-Oeschger (D/O) cycles caused rapid te...

Antarctic ice shelf kept its cool during the last interglacial period
An ice core suggests that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet lost ice 125,000 years ago, but not to the extent proposed by some scenarios.
