“…Unusually warm interglacials and cool glacials are irregularly distributed through almost the entire 800 ka of the EPICA Dome C ice-core from Antarctica [43]. Several syntheses have suggested a cooling trend over the last million years, with variable expression of the Mid-Brunhes event at approximately 430 ka, but this is not universally recognized [44][45][46]. Records of sea-surface temperatures near Sahul in the Coral Sea [47,48] do not show cooling over the last million years, nor increased variability across the Mid-Brunhes event or thereafter [46].…”

During the Pleistocene, Australia and New Guinea supported a rich assemblage of large vertebrates. Why these animals disappeared has been debated for more than a century and remains controversial. Previous synthetic reviews of this problem have typically focused heavily on particular types of evidence, such as the dating of extinction and human arrival, and have frequently ignored uncertainties and biases that can lead to misinterpretation of this evidence. Here, we review diverse evidence bearing on this issue and conclude that, although many knowledge gaps remain, multiple independent lines of evidence point to direct human impact as the most likely cause of extinction.

This change in periodicity and amplitude cannot be explained by a change in 'external' astronomical forcing. Here, we review and integrate published records of sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) to assess whether a common global expression of the MPT in the surface ocean can be recognized, and examine our findings in light of mechanisms proposed to explain climate system reorganization across the MPT. Weshow that glacial-interglacial variability in SSTs is superimposed upon a longer-term cooling trend in oceanographic systems spanning the low-to high-latitudes. Regional Alongside the long-term SST cooling trends, quasi-100 ka cycles begin to emerge in both the SST and  18 O records at 1.2 Ma, and become dominant with the expansion of the ice-sheets at 0.9 Ma. We show that the intensified glacial-stage cooling is accompanied by...

These fossil complexes are separated by thick typical loess horizons corresponding to MIS 10, 8, 6, and 4-2 respectively.…”
