This lecture will give an overview about the climate system and its changes during the past, focussing on the Quaternary. The main components and processes of the climate system as well as available different dating and analyses methods for paleoclimate research will be explained. Key paleoclimate archives, e.g. ice cores, marine sediment cores and different terrestrial records, will be discussed. The general overview will be supplemented by a presentation of some of the latest research results and most important open questions within the related fields of paleoclimate research.

This lecture was presented in combination with the lecture "Carbon Cycle" (by P. Köhler, AWI); total ECTS: 2
