1. Speleothems from Warm Climates : Holocene Records from the Caribbean and Mediterranean Regions
Abstract : This thesis contributes to increased knowledge on Holocene climate and environmental variability from two complex and sparsely studied areas. Using a speleothem from Gasparee Cave, Trinidad, as a paleoclimate archive, the local expression of the 8. READ MORE

2. Asian monsoon over mainland Southeast Asia in the past 25 000 years
Abstract : The objective of this research is to interpret high-resolution palaeo-proxy data sets to understand the Asian summer monsoon variability in the past. This was done by synthesizing published palaeo-records from the Asian monsoon region, model simulation comparisons, and analysing new lake sedimentary records from northeast Thailand. READ MORE

5. Uncertainties in tropical precipitation and radiative feedbacks under climate change
Abstract : Clouds have a significant impact on climate. They contribute to controlling the planetary energy balance, and the precipitation distribution. Global Climate Models (GCMs) designed to reproduce the state of the climate system, however, have difficulties representing clouds. READ MORE
