Goni, Maria F. Sanchez; Desprat, Stephanie; Daniau, Anne-Laure; Bassinot, Frank C.; Polanco-Martinez, Josue M.; Harrison, Sandy P.; Allen, Judy R.

The best documented examples of rapid climate change in the past are the warming events associated with the Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) cycles during the last glacial period, which were sufficiently large to ha...
