for example, only covers just over the past 100 years (Peterson and Vose, 1997). Extension of instrumental temperature records can be achieved by the application of so-called cli-

climate (Wang et al., 2004).

1.2 Reconstruction of past temperatures

There are various methods to reconstruct past sea surface or air temperatures. SSTs, for example,

are recorded in the oxygen isotopic composition of calcite or opal containing shells that are preserved in

marine sediments. The ratio of 18

O and the lighter

16 O that is incorporated in the shells depends, amongst (). The elemental composition of the shells also provides information on past ). A temperature

signal can furthermore be obtained from fossil organic molecules present in sediments. For example, the
