“…(c) Air photo and bathymetric map of White Lake (bathymetry from NJDFGW, 1999) showing locations of our studied cores WL03-3 and WL03-4. Also shown are two cores used in previous studies: core WL02-1 from lakeside wetlands for the late-glacial-to-early Holocene climate reconstruction (Yu, 2007), and core WL03-2 from similar depth for mineral-magnetic investigation (Li et al, 2006(Li et al, , 2007. The light-colored band in shallow water around the lake (generally <3 m) is a marl bench formed by seasonal carbonate precipitation.…”

Millennial-scale climate variability has been increasingly recognized as one of the most prominent features of the Holocene. However, regional responses, especially in terms of moisture conditions, are poorly documented and understood. Here we present lithologic and magnetic evidence from White Lake in northern New Jersey, USA, to show that low lake levels occurred at about 1.3, 3.0, 4.4 and 6.1 ka (1 ka0/1000 cal. yr BP). The low lake levels are indicated by heterogeneous coarse calcareous sediment layers showing strong magnetic intensities. These detrital layers were likely formed during low stands when shallow-water marls were exposed, oxidized, transported and redeposited. This model is supported by laboratory experiments showing that oxidation of marls can enhance magnetic intensities. The dry periods inferred from the low lake levels of White Lake appear to occur concurrently with the cold periods recorded in the North Atlantic sediments. The correlation between millennial-scale dry/wet cycles inferred from lake-level fluctuations of White Lake and cold/warm cycles in North Atlantic sediments suggests sensitive moisture responses to Holocene millennial-scale climate variability. The dry-cold (or wetwarm) association is supported by instrumental records of the last century showing that the Mid-Atlantic region was dominated by wet conditions, while most parts of the conterminous USA experienced droughts, when the North Atlantic Ocean was warm. The consistent moisture responses of the Mid-Atlantic region to temperature changes of the North Atlantic Ocean may have persisted for the past 6000 years.

“…Hence, sediments deposited during relatively warm climatic conditions exhibit low values of χ lf (Peck et al, 1994;Thouveny et al, 1994;Reynolds and King, 1995;Phartiyal et al, 2011;Phartiyal, in press) but high values of χ fd %, χ ARM /SIRM and χ ARM /χ lf (Wang et al, 2010). Apart from meltwater streams and glacier movements, sediments (containing magnetic minerals) may also be transported by wind (Li et al, 2006). Strong winds pick up and carry dust particles (including magnetic minerals) and deposit them on the lake-ice when wind energy drops.…”
