As in polar ice, 18O variations of precipitation are recorded in carbonate sediments formed in lakes (lake marl). We have analyzed many late-glacial profiles from Europe, There are strong l8O variations which coincide with well-known pollen zone boundaries and which indicate that abrupt, drastic cli...

As in polar ice, 18O variations of precipitation are recorded in carbonate sediments formed in lakes (lake marl). We have analyzed many late-glacial profiles from Europe, There are strong l8O variations which coincide with well-known pollen zone boundaries and which indicate that abrupt, drastic climatic changes occurred in the late glacial period. These events are a major warming around 13 ka BP (pollen zone boundary Oldest Dryas/Bölling) and a marked cold phase between about 10.8 and 10 ka BP (Younger Dryas). Comparison of the δ18O records of European lake sediments and of Greenland ice cores reveal a striking similarity which indicates that climatic changes in the late glacial and early postglacial were parallel in Greenland and in Europe.
