Title	Interglacial Climates
Commission	PALCOMM
Description	Understanding naturally and/or anthropogenically forced variability of present climate change remains elusive because of the relative shortness of available instrumental time series records. Paleoclimate archives, which contain environmental information similar to the present interglacial period, comprise a useful target for further studies. Despite substantial progress made recently, still very little is known about past interglacials in terms of their regional variability and intensity as well as cross-latitudinal duration, both on land and in the ocean. Some fundamental issues are incompletely resolved, such as past sizes of present glaciers and ice sheets, the complex interactions between ocean-amtosphere circulation, moisture transfer and sea-ice coverage on ocean temperature and land vegetation. For this session, we invite papers providing new information and preliminary syntheses regarding interglacial climate reconstructions from the cold polar ends to the warm tropics using marine and terrestrial proxy records as well as appropriate modeling approaches.
