Delayed maximum northern European summer temperatures during the Last Interglacial as a result of Greenland Ice Sheet melt
Here we report a new quantitative mean July temperature reconstruction using non-biting midges (chironomids) from the Danish Last Interglacial (LIG) site Hollerup (spanning 127-116 ka). We find that peak mean July temperatures of 17.5 degrees C, similar to those of the present day (1961-1990 CE), we...
