Approaches to identifying Dansgaard-Oeschger events in pollen records and quantitative climate reconstructions ...
The warmings associated with Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles (D-Os) during the last glacial were as fast as and of a similar magnitude to expected warming over the 21st century. Identifying these warmings in pollen records objectively may assist understanding of current and future climate change impacts....

The warmings associated with Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles (D-Os) during the last glacial were as fast as and of a similar magnitude to expected warming over the 21st century. Identifying these warmings in pollen records objectively may assist understanding of current and future climate change impacts. Identification of D-Os by age alone is hampered by dating uncertainties in both Greenland and pollen core age-depth models, so additional methods of identification are sought. Several statistical techniques applied directly to pollen series from the circum-Mediterranean area do not show D-Os clearly and consistently. An alternative approach using quantitative climate reconstructions made using WA-PLS and fxTWA-PLS is explored. First, the robustness of these methods is evaluated. A training set should sample a climate space which includes the target climate as comprehensively as possible.
