Here we use compound-specific hydrogen isotope data of aquatic and terrestrial lipid biomarkers from precisely dated annually laminated sediments from Lake Meerfelder Maar (MFM) in Western Germany to reconstruct decadal resolved hydroclimatic changes during the Younger Dryas. We show that cooling at MFM begun synchronous to the onset of cooling in Greenland at 12.850 years BP. Major environmental changes at MFM however took place 170 years later as a result of substantially drier conditions. ... : Supplement to: Rach, Oliver; Brauer, Achim; Wilkes, Heinz; Sachse, Dirk (2014): Delayed hydrological response to Greenland cooling at the onset of the Younger Dryas in Western Europe.
