At the moment we are in the Holocene an interglacial period that has persisted since the end of the Pleistocene, about 11,700 years ago. $_2$ text/html 2015-02-17T18:13:20+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://oceanwiki.ethz.ch/doku.php?id=lecture8:heinrich_d-o&rev=1424196800&do=diff Heinrich and Dansgaard–Oeschger Events text/html 2015-03-10T11:46:15+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://oceanwiki.ethz.ch/doku.php?id=lecture8:irreversebility&rev=1425987975&do=diff Global Ocean Circulation in a Changing Climate: Learning from the Past Add text body here Comments * What can we learn from paleooceanography about the stability of ocean circulation under changing cimatic conditions? * What irreversible and reversible changes appeared in the past?
