will likely further supplement this expansion of high-resolution records, providing
records with more robust low-frequency characteristics that can be combined with
proxies that are exceptionally good at capturing high-frequency climate variability
(e.g., Moberg et al. 2005 ) . In this way, the next decade of high-resolution paleo-
climatology will likely see paleoclimatic reconstructions with far less uncertainty,
covering more geographical regions, and providing meaningful estimates of climate
sensitivity before the 'Anthropocene'.
