Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007785

The scientific study of Earth's past climates, using evidence from natural sources such as ice cores, tree rings, sediments, and fossils. This field reconstructs ancient atmospheric conditions, ocean currents, and biological responses to climate change over geological timescales. Understanding past climate variability provides context for current climate trends.
