Reconstructing Tropical Pacific Climate Variability from Coral Archives
The tropical Pacific Ocean is a critical component of the climate system, and its mean state and variability are linked to effects across the globe. Our understanding of the area is limited by the scarcity of direct observations of important climatic variables prior to the mid-twentieth century, …

Eastern Tropical Pacific Climate And El Niño Variability During The Past Millennium
… (ENSO) has been implicated in large-scale climate shifts of the past millennia, but paleoclimate records from the dynamically vital eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean (EEP) spanning the past millennium are sparse. This has limited our understanding of tropical Pacific dynamics, leaving …

The Evolution of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and Tropical Pacific Climate Across the Last Deglaciation
… is the largest interannual component of Earth’s climate system, capable of exerting significant influence over global climate patterns that affect communities around the globe. Nevertheless, a comprehensive understanding of the ENSO system and its relationship to tropical Pacific climate dynamics …

Archives of climate variability on Kiritimati: lacustrine, aeolian and remote sensing perspectives
Sedimentary archives from tropical Pacific islands, together with records of modern hydrological processes, can provide information on past changes in tropical hydroclimate and test island landscape sensitivity to changes in the hydrologic cycle. For small tropical islands in particular, insight …

Understanding the role of stochastic atmospheric forcing in tropical Pacific decadal variability and ENSO modulation
Interdecadal variability of the tropical Pacific affects global hydroclimate and ecosystem and is suggested to modulate global mean temperature in the past century. It has been long acknowledged that Pacific decadal variability can be generated in the extratropics through integration of stochastic …
