Reconstruction of warm season temperatures in central Europe during the past 60,000 years from lacustrine GDGTs ...
Millennial-scale climate variations during the last glacial period, such as Dansgaard–Oeschger (D/O) cycles and Heinrich events, have been extensively studied using ice core and marine proxy records. However, there is a limited understanding of the magnitude of these temperature fluctuations in cont...
