- Holocene.
- Holocene In 2001, the MESH Steering Committee identified Holocene research as a important problem with important Global Change implications that can be addressed within the broad scientific focus of MESH. The Steering Committee organized a workshop to develop focused implementation plans for Holocene research. The workshop was held in August 2001 at the National Science Foundation and was entitled "Cycles and Trends in the Holocene". ... This workshop produced a report that identified the important Holocene research questions, documented their relevance to the US Global Change Program, and outlined an implementation plan to answer the questions. The workshop report became the basis for the Earth System History (ESH) Holocene research initiative (Holocene Climate Variability, Forcing Mechanisms, and Impacts) that was advertised in the most recent ESH call for proposals.

- Mid-Holocene Paleoclimatic-Paleoenvironmental Changes in Zhejiang Province and Hemudu Ancients .
- Abstract: The changes of Mid-Holocene paleoclimate-paleoenvironment along the eastern coast of Zhejiang province and its influence on the Hemudu Ancients are discussed in this paper. Results of the study indicate that the coming of Mid-Holocene megathermal maximum is an important factor for the domicile and the development of the Hemudu Ancients, and it is an favorable condition for the development of Hemudu oryzo-agriculture at that time. ...

- Holocene.
- The Holocene is a relatively warm period, probably an interglacial between ice ages. The large-scale fluctuations in climate during the Holocene are most likely related to Milankovitch cycles, and allow us to divide the Holocene into Early and Later stages: The Early Holocene.
- The early Holocene extends from around 11 500 BP up to 5 000 BP, and was a period in which the climate became warmer and wetter. ...
- The Later Holocene.
- Superimposed on these slowly evolving trends, there were shorter perturbations in climate during the Holocene. ...
- In the early Holocene, there were at least three occasions when the climate deteriorated abruptly, as shown by rapid falls in many African lake levels, in 12 000, 8 200 and 5 200 BP. ...
- In the most recent period of the Later Holocene, the potential for human beings to cause climate change through the addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere has become an increasing focus of scientific concern (see Information Sheet 1). ...

The Holocene formations obviously include all the varieties of deposits which are accumulating at the present day: the gravels and alluvia of rivers; boulder clays, moraines and fluvio-glacial deposits; estuarine, coastal and abyssal deposits of the seas, and their equivalents in lakes; screes, taluses, wind-borne dust and sand and desert formations; chemical deposits from saline waters; peat, diatomite, marls, foraminiferal and other oozes; coral, algal and shell banks, and other organic deposits; mud, lava and dust deposits of volcanic origin and extrusions of asphalt and pitch; to all these must be added the works of man.

- Holocene.
- The Holocene Epoch is a geologic period that extends from the present back about 10,000 radiocarbon years. The beginning of the Holocene was punctuated by the Younger Dryas cold period, the final part of Pleistocene epoch. ...
- The Holocene starts late in the retreat of the Pleistocene glaciers. The Holocene is the second and last epoch of the Quaternary period. ...
- Paleontologists have defined no faunal stages for the Pleistocene or Holocene.
- However, world sea levels rose about 35 meters (110 feet) in the early part of the Holocene due to ice melt. In addition, many areas above about 40 degrees latitude had been depressed by the weight of the Pleistocene glaciers and rose as much as 180 meters over the late Pleistocene and Holocene. ...
- Holocene marine fossils are known from Vermont, Quebec, Ontario, and Michigan. Other than higher latitude temporary marine incursions associated with glacial depression, Holocene fossils are found primarily in lakebed, floodplain, and cave deposits. Holocene marine deposits along coastlines are rare because the rise in sea levels during the period exceeds any likely upthrusting of non-glacial origin.
- Although geographic shifts in the Holocene were minor, climatic shifts were very large. ... It is possible that the Holocene warming is merely another interglacial period and does not represent a permanent end to the Pleistocene glaciation. Animal and plant life did not evolve much during the Holocene, but there were major shifts in the distributions of plants and animals. A number of large animals including mammoths and mastodons, saber tooth cats, and giant sloths disappeared in the late Pleistocene and early Holocene -- especially in North America where common animals that survived elsewhere (including horses and camels) became extinct. ...
- The beginning of the Holocene corresponds with the beginning of the Mesolithic age in most of Europe; but in regions such as the Middle East and Anatolia with a very early neolithisation, Epipaleolithic is used in place of Mesolithic. ...

- The reconstruction of the Holocene variations of Betula pubescens at this site is based both on the palynological findings and on macrofossil analysis of the birch remains in the core. ...
- The pollen and macrofossil investigations show that tree/shrub birch grew at an altitude close to its maximum Holocene distribution at c. 8200 BP, indicating summer temperatures comparable to the Holocene optimum range. ...
- These variations of the upper limit of tree/shrub birch are compared to the record of Holocene glacier advances in Northern Iceland.
