“…There has been much geological evidence of millennium-scale cycles, from North America to Europe and from the Middle East to East Asia. A 1500 a cycle was found in deep-sea sediment records for the North Atlantic [3], lake sediment records for Alaska [1], pollen records for the Ptolemais basin, Greece [38], loess records for Jiuzhoutai, China [39] and sea surface temperature records for the North Pacific at mid-latitudes [40]. 1450 and 1150 a cycles were detected for the 74K1 hole in the Arabian Sea [41].…”

Amplitudes, rates, periodicities, causes and future trends of temperature variations based on tree rings for the past 2485 years on the central-eastern Tibetan Plateau were analyzed. The results showed that extreme climatic events on the Plateau, such as the Medieval Warm Period, Little Ice Age and 20th Century Warming appeared synchronously with those in other places worldwide. The largest amplitude and rate of temperature change occurred during the Eastern Jin Event (343-425 AD), and not in the late 20th century. There were significant cycles of 1324 a, 800 a, 199 a, 110 a and 2-3 a in the 2485-year temperature series. The 1324 a, 800 a, 199 a and 110 a cycles are associated with solar activity, which greatly affects the Earth surface temperature. The long-term trends (>1000 a) of temperature were controlled by the millennium-scale cycle, and amplitudes were dominated by multi-century cycles. Moreover, cold intervals corresponded to sunspot minimums. The prediction indicated that the temperature will decrease in the future until to 2068 AD and then increase again. central-eastern

“…Channel seem to be repeated every 1 500 years [19], like in the North Atlantic, Pacific Ocean and Greenland [25,79,80,[83][84][85][86][87], reflecting a common response of different regions to climate forcing whose origin is still not well understood. The last climatic anomaly is known as the Little Ice Age (LIA) and its main phase spans from 1550 to 1850 AD, when many glaciers of the Northern Hemisphere had the most extensive advance since the Younger Dryas [88][89][90][91][92].…”

A multidisciplinary approach to reveal the Sicily Climate and Environment over the last 20 000 years

Abstract:We present a thorough review of the knowledge on the climate and environment in Sicily over the last 20 000 years, taking into account results of several studies carried using terrestrial and marine records. We obtain a coherent framework of the most important changes succeeded in the island, even if some points need further investigation. All the reconstructions of surface temperatures of the seas and the air surrounding Sicily point out severe climatic conditions during the last glacial period. The steppe-and semisteppe-like vegetation pattern testifies, together with additional evidence from geochemical data of lacustrine evidence, markedly arid conditions. Finally, significant episodes of sea level drop connected Sicily to the Italian Peninsula and favoured the dispersion of faunal elements from southern Italy. The transition between the last glacial and the Holocene was not characterized by a gradual warming but was punctuated by two abrupt suborbital climatic fluctuations: Bølling-Allerød (warm) and Younger Dryas (cold), as recognized in the sediments recovered close to the northern and southern coast of Sicily. A denser arboreal cover is possibly indicated by the occurrence of dormouse and Arvicola remains. Finally the sensitivity of Sicily to climate perturbations is demonstrated by the occurrence of repeated subtle climatic anomalies during the Holocene, including the Little Ice Age, also known from historical chronicles. Forests, woods and Mediterranean maquis developed in the early-middle Holocene. Thereafter was a general decline of arboreal vegetation, following a general aridification trend that seems to be a common feature in southern Europe and North Africa. Since Greek colonization (7 th century before Christ), the landscape was intensively modelled for agriculture and breeding, leading to a significant loss of vegetation cover.

“…The latest research on sea surface temperature (SST) in the northwestern Pacific off central Japan during the Holocene has found evidence of a regular pacing at 1500-yr intervals seen throughout both the Holocene and the last glacial period. This assumed oscillation was a response to external forcing (Isono et al 2009). Recent high-resolution analyses of lake sediment from SW Alaska showed evidence of cyclic variations in climate and ecosystems during the Holocene (Hu et al 2003).…”

ABSTRACT. Geochemical data of 10 Be, 14 C,  18 O obtained from natural archives (tree rings, ice sheets, varves, corals) indicates that the climate during the Holocene was not stable. The cosmogenic isotope fluctuations are bound by the periodicity on solar activity and climatic changes. The sharpest and most abrupt climatic deteriorations are registered in the Early and Middle Holocene at 8200, 5800, 5400, 4300, and 2800 cal BP. These events are characterized by cold conditions. The impact of climate on human communities in steppe depressions in southern Siberia (Nazarovo, Minusinsk, and Turano-Uyuk) was noticeable. The differences of local landscape-climatic conditions in these depressions were connected with global climatic changes to determine the processes of occupation, development, and migrations of ancient societies during the Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. The chronology of archaeological cultures was also correlated with the local and global climatic changes during the Early and Middle Holocene in southern Siberia. Here, we generalize the literature data about Holocene climatic changes and archaeological cultures in the southern Siberia region.
