Climate change and human impact in Central and South America over the last 2000 years
Editor(s): C. Gonzalez Arango, M. Grosjean, T. Kiefer, J. Martinez, and R. Villalba

This special issue will contain a selection of papers presented at the 3rd International LOTRED-SA Symposium held in Medellin, Colombia, in July 2014. LOTRED-SA (Long-Term climate REconstruction and Dynamics of South America) is a working group of Past Global Changes (PAGES) to study regional climate change over the last 2000 years. The special issue highlights advancements in the development and application of high-resolution paleoclimate records in Central and South America, with an emphasis on paleoclimate reconstruction and modeling of the tropical regions. The tropics had been underexplored in previous LOTRED-SA special issues (Masiokas et al. (eds), Climate of the Past, 2012, https://www.clim-past.net/special_issue42.html; Villalba et al., 2010, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 281, 2009).
