Abstract: Abstract. Lying at the transition between the temperate Mediterranean domain and subtropical deserts, the Levant is a key area to study the palaeoclimatic response over glacial–interglacial cycles. This paper presents a precisely dated last interglacial (MIS 5) stalagmite (129–84 ka) from the Kanaan Cave, Lebanon. Variations in growth rate and isotopic records indicate a warm humid phase at the onset of the last interglacial at ~ 129 ka that lasted until ~ 125 ka. A gradual shift in speleothem isotopic composi… Show more

“…7. Comparison of ocz-6 isotopic records with other LIG speleothem records: A -δ 18 O records from the Mediterranean region; B -δ 13 C records from the Mediterranean region (Bar-Matthews et al, 2003;Drysdale et al, 2005;Zumbühl, 2010;Nehme et al, 2015); C -δ 18 O records from Western and Central Europe; D -δ 13 C records from Western and Central Europe (Couchoud et al, 2009;Vansteenberge et al, 2016;Demeny et al, 2017); E -δ 18 O records from the Alps; F -δ 13 C records from the Alps (Holzkamper et al, 2004;Meyer et al, 2008;Moseley et al, 2015). Mediterranean stalagmites have elevated δ 13 C values (Figs.…”

“…It is also visible in other sediment cores from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Calvert and Fontugne, 2001; Grant et al, 2012). Corresponding patterns are also documented in speleothem records of Soreq Cave in Israel (Bar-Matthews et al, 2000, 2003) and Kanaan Cave in Lebanon (Nehme et al, 2015).…”

“…The shift on δ 18 O record observed in JS9 speleothem is like the change in δ 18 O signal observed for Mediterranean records (Antro del Corchia, Soreq, Peqiin; Fig 6). This type of shift in Mediterranean records can be explained as a source effect, when the change in δ 18 O composition of speleothem is caused by the change in the δ 18 O value of the Mediterranean sea surface which is documented by marine cores, and the change in proportion of moisture from Atlantic and Mediterranean sources (Bar-Matthews et al, 2003;Nehme et al, 2015). Like in case of record from Antro del Corchia (Drysdale et al, 2005;CC5 stalagmite), which has about 2.5 ‰ change of its δ 18 O values toward to lower values during termination II ca at 130 ka ( Fig 6).…”
