Stable oxygen isotope and pollen records from eastern Scotland and a consideration of Late‐glacial and early Holocene climate change for Europe

Abrupt climate changes of the last deglaciation detected in a western Mediterranean forest record

“…) in phase with TMF reductions. In common with several central and northern European records which indicate a more complex pattern of Preboreal oscillations(Bohncke and Hoek, 2007;Magny et al, 2006b;Björck and Wastegård, 1999;Whittington et al, 1996;), our findings indicate that multiple Preboreal climatic oscillations can be detected…”

Mollusca stable isotope record of a core from Lake Frassino, northern Italy: hydrological and climatic changes during the last 14 ka

“…During the Holocene, Lough Gur (Ahlberg et al, 2001) and Lake Steisslinger (Mayer and Schwark, 1999) show a comparable pattern of progressive decrease of d 13 C values, with the lower values around c. 5000 to 3000 BP. A similar pattern could be inferred for Lundin Tower (Whittington et al, 1996), although there the Holocene chronology is not supported by 14 C-dating. Between 3000 and 2600 BP the DIC in the lake experienced a new 13 C-enrichment, which is consistent with an increase of residence time during a drier phase, as indicated by the d 18 O record.…”

Lateglacial and early Holocene climates of the Atlantic margins of Europe: Stable isotope, mollusc and pollen records from Orkney, Scotland

“…Fig. 6 of Whittington et al, 1996). Most of the important changes in the d 13 C values, especially during the early Holocene, are, to some extent, correlated with the local pollen zone boundaries (Figs.…”
