Polar climatic sequence over the first Dansgaard-Oeschger event (DO 25) of the last glacial period
International audience The Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) event 25 initiates the millennial-scale climatic variability of the Northern Hemisphere during the last glacial period. This first rapid event is identified in the NorthGRIP ice core (Greenland - 75.10 °N, 42.32 °W, elevation 2917 m. a. s.l., modern...
