PROSIMUL RESULTS

Late Glacial environmental and climatic changes from synchronized terrestrial archives

Comparison of climate proxies from different archives on their respective timescales.

(a) Lake Constance: oxygen isotope composition of benthic ostracods Leucocythere mirabilis (d18Oostracods, blue triangle) and Limnocythere sanctipatricii (d18Oostracods, blue circle). (b) Smoothed tree-ring width of the revised absolutely dated German Holocene pine chronology and the floating pine chronology of the Late Glacial anchored by 14C-wiggle match to the Cariaco varve record. (c) Lake Meerfelder Maar: specific accumulation rate of sedimentary minerogenic matter (Min-SAR, brown) and carbon isotope composition of mainly autochthonous sedimentary organic matter (d13COM, green) from the lakes profundal. The YD stadial is highlighted as grey boxes, respectively. The position of the LST is indicated as grey line.
