Abrupt climatic events during the last glacial-interglacial
transition in Alaska.
Geophys. Res. Lett., 33, L18708, doi:10.1029/2006GL027261

ABSTRACT:
Evidence is mounting that abrupt climatic shifts occurred
during the last glacial-interglacial transition (LGIT) in
the North Atlantic and other regions. However, few high-
resolution climatic records of the LGIT exist from the
high latitudes of the North Pacific rim. We analyzed lake
sediments from southwestern Alaska for biogenic silica,
organic carbon, organic nitrogen, diatom assemblages,
and compound-specific hydrogen isotopes. Results reveal
climatic changes coincident with the Younger Dryas, Intra-
Allerød Cold Period, and Pre-Boreal Oscillation. However,
major discrepancies exist in the paleoclimate patterns of
the Bølling-Allerød interstadial between our data and the
GISP2 d18O record from Greenland, and causes are uncertain.
These data suggest that the North Pacific and North Atlantic
experienced similar reversals during climatic warming of the
LGIT but that the Bølling-Allerød cooling trend in the GISP2
d18O record is probably not a hemispheric or global pattern.

DESCRIPTION:
Raw biogenic silica measurements from Arolik and Ongoke Lake
sediments, spanning ~16,000 to 10,500 calendar year BP.
Biogenic Silica in mg per g of dry sediment.
Ages reported as calibrated years before present.

Arolik and Ongoke age models based on 9 and 5 calibrated AMS
radiocarbon dates (respectively), all from terrestrial
macrofossils. See publication for more details.
