  • Human adaptation strategies to abrupt climate change in Puerto Rico ca. 3.5 ka

    Open AccessIsabel Rivera-Collazo, Amos Winter et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2015Cited by: 8References: 9

    The connection between climatic change and social response is complex because change articulates a number of inter-related factors. Human decisions are filtered by social buffers – including social memory, risk perception, and cultural priorities – and the rate and scale of climate change is usually much larger than the scale of human decision-making. In this article, we provide information on climate change based on precisely dated speleothems w…

  • Comnispa Ii

    Open AccessJens Fohlmeister, Nicole Vollweiler et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2012Cited by: 3References: 4

    We present an update (COMNISPA II) of a precisely dated, high-resolution speleothem δ 18 O record from the Austrian Alps. COMNISPA II consists of five stalagmites from Spannagel Cave, which have comparable δ 18 O values within periods of simultaneous growth and show similar δ 18 O variations on centennial to millennial timescales. This allows combining the five stalagmites to one composite record using a newly developed statistical approach. The …

  • Cuban stalagmite suggests relationship between Caribbean precipitation and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation during the past 1.3 ka

    Open AccessClaudia Fensterer, David Scholz et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2012Cited by: 4References: 3

    Here we present the first high-resolution δ 18 O record of a stalagmite from western Cuba. The record reflects precipitation variability in the northwestern Caribbean during the last 1.3 ka and exhibits a correlation to the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). This suggests a relationship between Caribbean rainfall intensity and North Atlantic sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies. A potential mechanism for this relationship may be the stre…

  • Holocene ITCZ and Indian monsoon dynamics recorded in stalagmites from Oman and Yemen (Socotra)

  • U/Th age constraints on the absence of ice in the central Inn Valley (eastern Alps, Austria) during Marine Isotope Stages 5c to 5a

    Open AccessChristoph Spötl, Augusto ManginiARTICLEQuaternary Research2006

    Calcitic flowstones are present in fractures of a Pleistocene breccia near Innsbruck, Austria, and record periods of carbonate precipitation in the unsaturated zone between 101,500 ± 1500 and 70,300 ± 1800 yr, constrained by U-series disequilibrium dates. The occurrence of these speleothems, their low carbon isotopic composition, and the lack of infiltrated siliciclastic material demonstrate that the central Inn valley – which harbored one of the…

  • Holocene Climate Variability in Sicily from a Discontinuous Stalagmite Record and the Mesolithic to Neolithic Transition

    Open AccessSilvia Frisia, Andrea Borsato et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2006

    Fabric and stable isotopic composition of a Holocene stalagmite (CR1) from a cave in northern Sicily record changes in paleorainfall in the early Holocene. High δ 13 C stable isotope values in the calcite deposited from ca. 8500 to ca. 7500 yr ago are interpreted as reflecting periods of high rainfall. The wet phase was interrupted by two periods of multi-century duration characterized by relatively cool and dry winters centered at ca. 8200 and c…

  • Changing moisture sources over the last 330,000 years in Northern Oman from fluid-inclusion evidence in speleothems

    Open AccessDominik Fleitmann, Stephen J Burns et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2003

    Speleothems from Hoti Cave in northern Oman provide a record of continental pluvial periods over the last 330,000 yr. Periods of rapid speleothem deposition occurred from 6000 to 10,500, 78,000 to 82,000, 120,000 to 135,000, 180,000 to 200,000, and 300,000 to 330,000 yr ago, with little or no growth during the intervening periods. During each of these five pluvial periods, δ D values of water extracted from speleothem fluid inclusions (δ D FI ) a…

  • Holocene Forcing of the Indian Monsoon Recorded in a Stalagmite from Southern Oman

    Open AccessDominik Fleitmann, Stephen J Burns et al.ARTICLEScience2003

    A high-resolution oxygen-isotope record from a thorium-uranium–dated stalagmite from southern Oman reflects variations in the amount of monsoon precipitation for the periods from 10.3 to 2.7 and 1.4to 0.4thousand years before the present (ky B.P.). Between 10.3 and 8 ky B.P., decadal to centennial variations in monsoon precipitation are in phase with temperature fluctuations recorded in Greenland ice cores, indicating that early Holocene monsoon …

  • Warm Period Growth of Travertine during the Last Interglaciation in Southern Germany

    Open AccessNorbert Frank, Margarethe Braum et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2000

    Late-Quaternary travertine at two sites near Stuttgart formed entirely during interglacial periods. The travertine contains structures from growth induced by bacteria, and such structures have been dated by 230 Th/U mass spectrometry. The resulting ages from both sites imply growth episodes of short duration, with growth rates up to 5 mm yr −1 , at 99,800 ± 1300 yr B.P. (2σ n = 8) and 105,900 ± 1300 yr B.P. (2σ n = 7). These episodes were likely …

  • The Holstein Interglaciation

    Open AccessMichael Sarnthein, Helmut E Stremme et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1986

    Marine molluscan shells from para-type and other localities of the Holsteinian interglaciation were dated by Th/U and the electron spin resonance (ESR) method to more than 350,000 and 370,000 yr B.P., beyond the limit of Th/U dating. The high age estimate is corroborated by a K/Ar age of 420,000 yr B.P. determined from volcanic ash near the base of the Ariendorf paleosol in the Middle Rhine valley believed to be a pedostratigraphic equivalent of …
