High-resolution analyses of an early Holocene climate event may imply decreased solar forcing as an important climate trigger
Early Holocene lacustrine, tree-ring, ice-core, and marine records reveal that the Northern Hemisphere underwent a short cooling event at 10300 calendar yr B.P. (9100 14 C yr B.P.). The records were compared on a common high-resolution time scale and show that the event lasted less than 200 yr, with...
