Reconstructions of Northern Hemisphere temperatures. Briffa contributed to two of them.

Keith Briffa (born 1952) is a scientist at the Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia. His main area of research is late-Holocene climate change, particularly emphasizing northern Eurasia. His specialty is in dendroclimatology which uses tree ring data to reconstruct past climate records.
