**Large scale and regional demographic responses to climatic changes in Europe during the Final Palaeolithic**

“_Our study also shows that during the Final Palaeolithic, the climatic cooling of GS-1 coincides with a pronounced population decline in most parts of the study area. An apparent increase in population density occurs only in north-eastern Central Europe and north-eastern Italy. Our estimates suggest that the total population was reduced by half._”

"The palaeoclimate record shouts out to us that, far from being self-stabilizing, the Earth's climatic system is an ornery beast which overreacts even to small nudges."

—Wallace Broecker, 1995, quoted in The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery

500-year-old Transylvanian diaries show how the Little Ice Age completely changed life and death in the region

Tapping into ‘society’s archive’, researchers have examined written sources from the 16th century that chronicle famine, excessive flooding, and plagues in what today is Romania

An Ancient Love Story – How Climate Shifts Drove Early Human Species Together
A new study published in the journal Science by an international team reveals that historical fluctuations in atmospheric CO2 levels and the subsequent alterations in climate and vegetation were significant factors influencing when and where early human species interbred.

New article out in #Paleoceanography & #Paleoclimatology where we (Chris Maupin & myself) briefly recount how scientists have sought to understand past year-to-year (#interannual) temperature variations in the marine realm: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/2023PA004723

Mainly focusing on coral-derived records, we also highlight a recent article by Ong et al. (2022; https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2022PA004483) who add a new #coral genus to the #paleoclimate toolkit.
