Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 112.

This volume is intended to serve as a single, comprehensive resource for understanding the mechanisms of millennial-scale global climate change. Given the maturity of the science and understanding of the climate processes, we believe that the time is right for such a compilation of results. This monograph provides the paleoclimatology and climate dynamics communities with a comprehensive overview of current evidence and understanding of climate variability and abrupt climate change between orbital and interannual time scales.
