Past cold climates are often thought to have been drier than today on land, which appears to conflict with certain recent studies projecting widespread terrestrial drying with near-future warming. However, other work has found that, over large portions of the continents, the conclusion of future drying versus wetting strongly depends on the physical property of interest. Here, it is shown that ...

The development of new tools and methodologies is necessary in order to better understand current and past climatic changes,. To be useful, these mathematical or software tools must not remain only in the hands of specialists in statistics, but must also be usable by the larger community of paleoclimatologists. It is therefore necessary to conceive a user interface adapted to the specificities ...

Abstract. Reconstruction and explanation of past climate evolution using proxy records is the essence paleoclimatology. In this study, we use dimensional analysis a dynamical model on orbital timescales to recognize theoretical limits such forensic inquiries. Specifically, demonstrate that major events could have been produced by physically unsimilar processes making task paleo-record attributi...
