Paleoclimate research in Indonesia has become increasingly important with growing awareness of the critical role of this region for global climate. By reconstructing the past climate trend and variability, paleoclimate research contributes to a more reliable simulation of future Indonesian climate, which has proven difficult owing to the lack of temporally long instrumental records and model deficiencies in reproducing the complex regional setting. After two decades of paleoclimate research, there is strong evidence that melting of the ice sheets and slowdown of the ocean circulation in the North Atlantic, e.g., during Heinrich Events, result in a cooler Northern Hemisphere, and warmer and drier conditions over Sumatra, Java, and the Lesser Sunda Islands. On the other hand, this region experiences a cooler windy season and a wetter rainy season during periods of a generally warmer Northern Hemisphere summer, e.g., during precession minima, with environmental changes being more severe in monsoonal south Indonesia compared with the ever-wet equatorial regions.
