Contents
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM: The climate of the Holocene -- Principal sources of data on the Earth's climate system -- Boreholes climatology -- CLIMATE CHANGE AND SUBSURFACE TEMPERATURE: Methods and technique to carry out boreholes temperature measurements -- Subsurface temperature field and its response to changing surface conditions (climate) -- Geothermal method of climate reconstruction: principles, resolution, limitations (forward and inverse techniques, sources of perturbation) -- Comparison of ground surface temperature (GST) reconstruction methods -- Ground-air temperature coupling: pre-observational mean temperature (POM) -- Ground-air temperature coupling: effect of various environmental changes -- Non-conductive heat transfer effect on the GAT reconstruction (groundwater flow effects) -- Climate change and permafrost -- Climate from ice boreholes -- GROUND TEMPERATURE HISTORIES: EVIDENCE OF CHANGING CLIMATE: Timescales of the reconstructed GST histories (from Ice Age to present) -- Temperature trends over past five centuries reconstructed from borehole temperature data (spatial and temporal patterns) -- Correlation between GST climate reconstruction, meteorological data, and proxies -- Is there any anthropogenic component in the present-day global warming? Evidence from the underground -- Deep continental drilling and signature of remote climate changes -- SUBSURFACE TEMPERATURE MONITORING: PRESENT-DAY TEMPERATURE CHANGE AND ITS VARIABILITY: Geothermal observatories and subsurface temperature monitoring -- Detection of the present-day warming by temperature monitoring in shallow boreholes -- Recent climate variability -- CONCLUSIONS AND PERSPECTIVES OF FUTURE PROGRESS.
