Abstract. This paper describes the rationale and protocol of first component third simulation round Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP3a, http://www.isimip.org, last access: 2 November 2023) associated set climate-related direct human forcing data (CRF DHF, respectively). The observation-based forcings for time include high-resolution observational climate derived by orographic downscaling, monthly to hourly coastal water levels, wind fields with historical tropical...
Volcanic ash layers preserved within the geologic record represent precise time markers that correlate disparate depositional environments and enable investigation of synchronous and/or asynchronous behaviors in Earth system archaeological sciences. However, it is generally assumed only exceptionally powerful events, such as supereruptions (≥450 km3 ejecta dense-rock equivalent; recurrence interval ∼105 yr), distribute broadly enough to have an impact on human society, or allow us address...
Disappearance of an ice sheet The Cordilleran Ice Sheet is thought to have covered westernmost Canada until about 13,000 years ago, even though the warming and sea level rise last deglaciation had begun more than a thousand earlier. This out-of-phase behavior has puzzled glaciologists because it not clear what mechanisms could account for it. Menounos et al. report measurements ages cirque valley glaciers that show much western was ice-free as early 14,000 ago—a finding better agrees with...
Abstract. This paper presents the new and now open-source version 2.1 of REgional Model INvestments Development (REMIND). REMIND, as an integrated assessment model (IAM), provides view global energy–economy–emissions system explores self-consistent transformation pathways. It describes a broad range possible futures their relation to technical socio-economic developments well policy choices. REMIND is multiregional incorporating economy detailed representation energy sector implemented in...

Moraine systems of Glaciar Lengua (unofficial name) and neighbouring glaciers Gran Campo Nevado (53°S) in the southernmost Andes were mapped dated by dendrochronological means. They formed around AD 1628, 1872/1875, 1886, 1902, 1912 1941 with advance 1870s being calendar dated. Recessional moraines within each moraine system correspond to brief standstills or minor readvances. A significantly older could not be directly methods as forest on it was assumed second-generation older. From...
Abstract To investigate concurrent climate action and poverty eradication, we present combined income growth (GDP/capita) domestic inequality (measured as Gini coefficients) pathways that pursue (absolute relative) eradication reflecting the three narratives of Sustainable Development Pathway (SDP). The GDP/capita are modifications Shared Socioeconomic SSP1 scenario, including one post-growth future for high-income countries higher all currently lower-income countries. Current levels,...
The Little Ice Age glacier history in Garibaldi Provincial Park (southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia) was reconstructed using geomorphic mapping, radiocarbon ages on fossil wood forefields, dendrochronology, and lichenometry. began the 11th century. Glaciers reached their first maximum of past millennium 12th They were only slightly more extensive than today 13th century, but advanced at least twice 14th 15th centuries to near positions. probably fluctuated around these positions from...

Holocene glacier fluctuations prior to the `Little Ice Age' in Garibaldi Provincial Park British Columbia Coast Mountains were reconstructed from geomorphic mapping and radiocarbon ages on 37 samples of growth-position detrital wood forefields. Glaciers smaller than at present early Holocene, although some evidence exists for minor, short-lived advances this time. The first well-documented advance dates 7700—7300 14 C yr BP. Subsequent date 6400—5100, 4300, 4100—2900 1600—1100 Some glaciers...
Abstract The UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the Paris climate target require a holistic transformation towards human well-being within planetary boundaries. However, there are growing debates on how to best pursue these targets. Proposed strategies include market- technology-driven green-growth, shifting sufficiency-oriented post-growth economy, driven primarily by strong government action. Here we quantify three alternative pathways (SDPs), Economy-driven Innovation, Resilient...
