How Reliable Are Global Temperature Reconstructions of the Common Era? by Sebastian Lüning, Philipp Lengsfeld

“…Such observational data are, unfortunately, not available for the pre-industrial period of the Common Era (CE), for which the climate development is reconstructed using various types of palaeoclimatological proxies. …”

Trends and variability in the Southern Annular Mode over the Common Era by Jonathan King, Kevin J. Anchukaitis, Kathryn Allen, Tessa Vance, Amy Hessl

“…Despite the SAM’s importance, paleoclimate reconstructions disagree on its variability and trends over the Common Era, which may be linked to variability in SAM teleconnections and the influence of specific proxies. …”

Process-based estimate of global-mean sea-level changes in the Common Era by N. Gangadharan, H. Goosse, D. Parkes, H. Goelzer, F. Maussion, B. Marzeion

“…<p>Although the global-mean sea level (GMSL) rose over the twentieth century with a positive contribution from thermosteric and barystatic (ice sheets and glaciers) sources, the driving processes of GMSL changes during the pre-industrial Common Era (PCE; 1–1850 CE) are largely unknown. Here, the contributions of glacier and ice sheet mass variations and ocean thermal expansion to GMSL in the Common Era (1–2000 CE) are estimated based on simulations with different physical models. …”

Sea-ice variations and trends during the Common Era in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean by A. L. L. Dauner, A. L. L. Dauner, F. Schenk, F. Schenk, F. Schenk, K. E. Power, K. E. Power, M. Heikkilä, M. Heikkilä

“…Here we compiled a set of marine sea-ice proxy records with a relatively high temporal resolution of at least 100 years, covering the Common Era (past 2k years) in the Greenland–North Atlantic sector of the Arctic to explore the presence of coherent long-term trends and common low-frequency variability, and we compared those data with transient climate model simulations. …”

Severe weather disasters to epidemics in China during low and high solar activities from 1 to 1911 Common Era by Jann-Yenq Liu, Yuh-Ing Chen, Po-Han Lee

“…Based on the official historical records for the years 1–1911 Common Era (i.e., a period of 1911 years), we examine how the 408 epidemic events, occurring in 282 years, are related to solar activity, geographical locations, seasons, and natural disasters of anomalous temperature and irregular precipitation, in China. …”

“…The clusters of ice cap expansion defined by moss kill dates are mirrored in an annually resolved Common Era record of ice cap dimensions in Iceland, suggesting this is a circum-North-Atlantic–Arctic climate signal for the Common Era. …”

Vegetation History in Central Croatia from ~10,000 Cal BC to the Beginning of Common Era—Filling the Palaeoecological Gap for the Western Part of South-Eastern Europe (Western Balkans) by Dario Hruševar, Koraljka Bakrač, Slobodan Miko, Nikolina Ilijanić, Martina Šparica Miko, Ozren Hasan, Božena Mitić

“…An increase in the number of secondary anthropogenic indicators can be tracked from the 6th century BC to the beginning of the Common Era. Although regional vegetation changes are insufficiently clear, our results fill a gap in the interpretation of vegetation/palaeoenvironmental changes before the Common Era in in this part of Europe.…”

Deciphering the West Eurasian Genetic Footprints in Ancient South India by Bhavna Ahlawat, Lomous Kumar, Parayil John Cherian, Jagmahender Singh Sehrawat, Niraj Rai, Kumarasamy Thangaraj

“…The results confirm that the Pattanam site could be an integral part of the lost ancient port of Muziris, which, as per the material evidence from Pattanam and its contemporary sites, played an important role in the transoceanic exchanges between 100 BCE (Before Common Era) and 300 CE (Common Era). So far, the material evidence with direct provenance to the maritime exchanges related to ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, West Asian, Red Sea, African, and Asian regions have been identified at Pattanam. …”

Vietnam and India: A discourse on Buddhist contacts by Mishra, Patit Paban

“…Ching.Buddha images of Amaravati style pertaining to early centuries of Common Era have been found from Dong-duong near Danang in central Vietnam.An inscription of the same region describes the installation of a Buddha image in 875 C.E. and construction of a Buddhist temple and monastery by Indravarman II.In the present article, an attempt has been made to delineate Buddhist contacts between India and Vietnam.The article would contest the Indic centric view that there was total transplantation of Indian Buddhism.The theoretical premise would be that the whole process of Indian cultural influence was interaction between culture of India and Vietnam.It was the genius of Vietnamese, which choose those elements of an external culture that were either consistent with or could be moulded to its own beliefs.…”
