Description for The Climate in Historical Times. Towards a Synthesis of Holocene Proxy Data and Climate Models.
Hardback. Reports on efforts by geoscientists and climate modellers (KIHZ) to assess natural climate variability during the Holocene. This title provides an overview of the climate system and its dynamics. It describes the efforts of the KIHZ members to reconstruct past climate by using proxy data derived from ice cores and lake sediments. Editor(s): Fischer, Hubertus; Kumke, Thomas; Lohmann, Gerrit; Floser, Gotz; Miller, Heinrich; Storch, Hans von; Negendank, Jorg F. W. Series: GKSS School of Environmental Research. Num Pages: 508 pages, 147 black & white illustrations, 10 colour illustrations, 10 black & white tables, biogra. BIC Classification: RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 38. Weight in Grams: 1017.
An Introduction to the KIHZ Project The description of the climate system and the quantification of its natural variability and dynamics is essential to assess an ongoing anthropogenic cli mate change and to validate climate and biogeochemical models to allow for reliable projections into the future. Because the spatio-temporal coverage of direct meteorological observations is rather limited, high-resolution and ab solutely dated climate archives represent the only key to a quantification of seasonal to millenial climate variations in the past. Furthermore, climate mod els provide insights into the major processes and causes relevant for climate variability on these time scales. ... Read more

Reviews for The Climate in Historical Times. Towards a Synthesis of Holocene Proxy Data and Climate Models.
From the reviews: "This book presents peer-viewed results from a final workshop in 2001 … . The book … is a very valuable contribution. … This book is recommended to anyone interested in the most challenging topic of global climate change." (Environmental Geology, Vol. 49, 2006) "The climate in historical times represents outcomes ... Read more
