Looking to the past, in a previous interglacial almost full melt was achieved at basically today’s temperatures and recently a 500m think dome of ice in the north has been discovered to be ice free just 7,000 years ago, providing proof of tipping behaviour.

Enhanced deep Southern Ocean stratification during the lukewarm interglacials - Nature Communications Lead (Pb) isotopes from a ferromanganese crust reveal that during lukewarm interglacials before the Mid-Brunhes Event, stronger deep Southern Ocean stratification limited CO2 release, helping keep atmospheric CO2 levels lower.

A new paleoclimate study links stronger ocean stratification to past ‘lukewarm’ interglacials, but points to lower ocean carbon sequestration in the future.

AMOC Modulates Ocean Heat Content During Deglaciations. A new Antarctic ice core study has unveiled the role of AMOC in the last 4 deglaciation events which occurred over the last 340,000 years.

Distinct roles for precession, obliquity, and eccentricity in Pleistocene 100-kyr glacial cycles Identifying the specific roles of precession, obliquity, and eccentricity in glacial-interglacial transitions is hindered by imprecise age control. We circumvent this problem by focusing on the morpho...

A new study has solved a mystery about how the orbital cycles drive the current cycle of glaciations and interglacials. Orbital forcing has been known for over 100 years, but now the precise pattern has been identified.

More evidence that Europe's ancient landscapes were open woodlands: Study finds oak, hazel and yew were abundant In 2023 a research group from Aarhus University in Denmark found that light woodland and open vegetation dominated Europe's temperate forests before Homo sapiens. In a new study, recently published in...
