  • Tree rings are widely used to reconstruct historical records of surface temperature. Here, Stine and Huybers analyse tree-ring records north of 50°N and show that changes in the light environment associated with both volcanic eruptions and global dimming significantly influence tree-ring growth.

  • Understanding the response of agriculture to heat and moisture stress is essential to adapt food systems under climate change. Using newly available satellite soil moisture data, this study finds that the combined influence of soil moisture and atmospheric evaporative demand is important for accurately predicting US maize yields.

  • Variations in the seasonal cycle of temperatures at the Earth's surface are spatially mapped on both land and sea, and trends in the recent past (1954–2007) are compared with those occurring earlier (1900–1954). Assuming that the earlier part of the temperature record is dominated by natural variations, the recent trends seem highly anomalous: temperatures on land show a shift to earlier seasons by 1.7 days, and the amplitude of the cycle has decreased in this period.

  • Vertical motions of Earth’s crust had the greatest effect on regional spatial differences in relative sea-level trends along the eastern coast of the USA during 1900–2017, explaining most of the large-scale spatial variance in regional rates of sea-level rise.

  • The response of the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) to climate shifts due to changes in Earth's orbit is uncertain, but there is potential for several metres of sea level change. Naish and co-authors extracted a sediment core from beneath the Ross Ice Shelf and found evidence that the WAIS periodically collapsed during the early Pliocene (3-5 million years ago); and the pattern of collapse suggests an influence of ∼40,000-year cycles in the tilt of Earth's rotational axis.

  • A quantitative mixing model coupled with new isotopic carbon data from Mongolia, northwest Canada and Namibia reveals that Neoproterozoic era carbonate isotopic anomalies can be accounted for by a primary perturbation to the surface carbon cycle, making other explanations unlikely.

  • A new chronology for Antarctic ice cores has been constructed based on the ratio of oxygen to nitrogen molecules in air trapped in the ice. This seems to reflect changes in local summer insolation, and thus allows the relative timing of changes in insolation and Antarctic climate to be determined. The results show that orbital-scale Antarctic climate change lagged Northern Hemisphere insolation over the past 360,000 years, and that increases in Antarctic temperature at the last four glacial-interglacial transitions took place within phases of increasing Northern Hemisphere insolation.

  • Considerable confusion exists as to the most likely value of climate sensitivity; by proposing a consistent framework for analysing and synthesizing research into the palaeoclimate of the past 65 million years, a value of 2.2–4.8 °C warming in response to atmospheric CO2 doubling is obtained, in agreement with IPCC estimates.
