Northern Hemisphere summer temperatures over the past 8000 years have been paced by the slow decrease in summer insolation resulting from the precession of the equinoxes. However, the causes of superposed century‐scale cold summer anomalies, of which the Little Ice Age (LIA) is the most extreme, remain debated, largely because the natural forcings are either weak or, in the case of volcanism, short lived. Here we present precisely dated records of ice‐cap growth from Arctic Canada and Iceland…

Volcano-induced regime shifts in millennial tree-ring chronologies from northeastern North America

A new network of millennial tree-ring chronologies from the taiga of northeastern North America is presented, which fills a wide gap in the network of the Northern Hemisphere's chronologies suitable for temperature reconstructions and supports the hypothesis that volcanoes triggered both the onset and the coldest episode of the Little Ice Age.

Evidence for extreme export of Arctic sea ice leading the abrupt onset of the Little Ice Age

Recon reconstructing sea ice exported from the Arctic Ocean over the past 1400 years finds robust evidence for extreme export of sea ice commencing abruptly around 1300 CE and terminating in the late 1300s, providing evidence that marked climate changes may not require an external trigger.

Little Ice Age climate and oceanic conditions of the Ross Sea, Antarctica from a coastal ice core record

Increasing paleoclimatic evidence suggests that the Little Ice Age (LIA) was a global climate change event. Understanding the forcings and associated climate system feedbacks of the LIA is made…

Amplified Inception of European Little Ice Age by Sea Ice–Ocean–Atmosphere Feedbacks

AbstractThe inception of the Little Ice Age (~1400–1700 AD) is believed to have been driven by an interplay of external forcing and climate system internal variability. While the hemispheric signal…

Sea surface temperature and sea ice variability in the subpolar North Atlantic from explosive volcanism of the late thirteenth century

In this study, we use IP25 and alkenone biomarker proxies to document the subdecadal variations of sea ice and sea surface temperature in the subpolar North Atlantic induced by the decadally paced…

A volcanically triggered regime shift in the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean as a possible origin of the Little Ice Age

Abstract. Among the climatological events of the last millennium, the Northern Hemisphere Medieval Climate Anomaly succeeded by the Little Ice Age are of exceptional importance. The origin of these…

Last phase of the Little Ice Age forced by volcanic eruptions

During the first half of the nineteenth century, several large tropical volcanic eruptions occurred within less than three decades. The global climate effects of the 1815 Tambora eruption have been…

Explosive volcanism as a key driver of the late Paleozoic ice age

Atmospheric CO2 exerts a robust and well-documented control on Earth’s climate, but the timing of glaciation during the late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA; ca. 360–260 Ma) is inconsistent with pCO2…

Centennial-scale climate change from decadally-paced explosive volcanism: a coupled sea ice-ocean mechanism

Northern Hemisphere summer cooling through the Holocene is largely driven by the steady decrease in summer insolation tied to the precession of the equinoxes. However, centennial-scale climate…

A millennial perspective on Arctic warming from 14C in quartz and plants emerging from beneath ice caps

Observational records show that the area of ice caps on northern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada has diminished by more than 50% since 1958. Fifty 14C dates on dead vegetation emerging beneath receding…
