Palaeoclimatology

Palaeoclimatology is the scientific study of past climates, exploring how Earth's weather and temperature patterns have changed over millions of years. By examining natural records like ice cores, tree rings, and sediment layers, scientists can reconstruct historical climate conditions. This helps us understand long-term climate variability, the factors influencing climate shifts, and the impact of natural and human activities. Insights from palaeoclimatology inform predictions about future climate change, enabling better strategies for mitigation and adaptation.
