Summary: | Lateglacial, is characterized by a series of rapid climatic changes that are easily recognizable in oxygen isotope records from Greenland and the Alps (e.g., Johnsen et al., 1992, 2001; Lotter et al., at the Younger Dryas/Preboreal transition (GS-1–PB). These Late-glacial climatic changes are characterized by large amplitude shifts in temperature. For example, quantitative inferences of Lateglacial summer temperature in the Alpine region showed a cooling during the Younger Drays of 1–8 C compared with the preceding Allerød (GI-1), depending on the different indicators and methods used (e.g., Isarin and Bohncke, 1999; Lotter et al., 2000; Heiri and Millet, 2005; Lang, 2006). More reconstructions of the Lateglacial climate from different sites are essential for a better insight into natural |
