Holocene climatic variability was studied in a 9500-year lake-sediment sequence from the Abisko region in Swedish Lapland, using the oxygen-isotope ratio in diatom biogenic silica (d 18 O si ). Oxygen-and hydrogen-isotope ratios of waters from the Abisko area suggest that in this region the evaporat...
