The late Holocene hydroclimate variability in the Northwest Himalaya: Sedimentary clues from the Wular Lake, Kashmir Valley

“…the Roman and Medieval Warm Periods respectively. This was supported by Lone et al (2022b), who analysed lake sediments from across the northwestern Himalaya. They found the late Holocene was in general rather dry, and there was a period of extremely low WD frequency during the Medieval warm period (1.7-0.6 ka; 300-1400 CE).…”

“…They identified a major winter drought at 3.4 ka, after which WDs recovered through about 2.7 ka. Lone et al (2022b) also reported signatures of increased WD activity from 4.2-3.4 ka, followed by a long period of decreased activity from 3.4-0.6 ka, derived from sediment analysis from across lakes across the northwestern Himalaya. Giesche et al (2023) reported a period of dry winters between 3.6 and 3.4 ka in addition to their analysis of the 4.2-ka event.…”
