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, http://www.clim-past.net/special_issue42.html ; Villalba et al., 2010, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology 281, 2009)
