Paleoclimate Analysis and Interpretation
Paleoclimate Analysis and Interpretation
Paleoclimatology involves the examination of climates that have not been directly observed or measured. Paleoclimatology explores unmeasured climates of the past, using proxies from rocks, sediments, ice sheets, and more. Combining dating techniques, it uncovers Earth's ancient atmospheres. This field matured in the twentieth century, revealing rapid climate transitions and human impact. Records indicate unprecedented 20th-century warming, contrasting the last 1,200 years.
