Energy-consumption paper

Details
Published: Tuesday, 18 September 2018 10:15

WGLogoPeople3000Members of the PEOPLE 3000 working group published a paper in PNAS yesterday which looks at human energy consumption reaching back 10,000 years and across four continents.

The paper, led by Jacob Freeman and titled "Synchronization of energy consumption by human societies throughout the Holocene", pulls together, for the first time, radiocarbon dates analyzed in recent decades into a single model.

Historical records provided information on energy consumption in eight countries since 1880, while radiocarbon records provided estimates of energy consumption in societies from four continents over the past 10,000 years. The authors believe their research highlights the importance of long-term perspectives that can lead to novel insights for today’s societies and help prepare us for changing global environments.

c peat nat clim chg sep 18A new paper from members of PAGES' C-PEAT working group was published in Nature Climate Change on Monday.

Led by Angela Gallego-Sala, "Latitudinal limits to the predicted increase of the peatland carbon sink with warming" examines how the peatland carbon sink is likely to behave under future climate warming scenarios.

Sea level in the western Med

Published: Tuesday, 11 September 2018 15:55

polyak nat geosc sep 18A new paper on relative sea level in the western Mediterranean Sea during the last interglacial period was published in Nature Geoscience yesterday.

Victor J. Polyak et al. found that their sea-level record does not support the hypothesis of rapid sea-level fluctuations within MIS-5e. Instead, they suggest that melting of the polar ice sheets occurred early in the interglacial period, followed by gradual ice-sheet growth.

This paper stems from a PAGES-supported workshop held in Majorca, Spain, in April 2012.
