  • Tentative Correlation of Pollen Records of the Last Interglacial at Grande Pile and Ribains with Marine Isotope Stages

    Open AccessGeorge Kukla, George J Kukla et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2002

    Eemian lake deposits in Grande Pile and Ribains, France, correlate with marine isotope substages (MIS) 5e and 5d as delimited in two pollen-bearing deep-sea cores off Portugal. The Eemian forests in France lasted for approximately 20 millennia, from at least 126,000 to ca. 107,000 yr B.P. Oscillatory climate deteriorations began about 115,000 yr ago. An intense cold spell affected the region approximately 110,000 yr ago.

  • Last Interglacial Climates

    Open AccessGeorge Kukla, George J Kukla et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2002

    The last interglacial, commonly understood as an interval with climate as warm or warmer than today, is represented by marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e, which is a proxy record of low global ice volume and high sea level. It is arbitrarily dated to begin at approximately 130,000 yr B.P. and end at 116,000 yr B.P. with the onset of the early glacial unit MIS 5d. The age of the stage is determined by correlation to uranium–thorium dates of raised cora…

  • Last Interglacial and Early Glacial Enso

    Open AccessGeorge Kukla, George J Kukla et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2002

    Although the link between insolation and climate is commonly thought to be in the high northern latitudes in summer, our results show that the start of the last glaciation in marine isotope stage (MIS) 5d was associated with a change of insolation during the transitional seasons in the low latitudes. A simplified coupled ocean-atmosphere model shows that changes in the seasonal cycle of insolation could have altered El Niño Southern Oscillation (…

  • Magnetic susceptibility evidence of monsoon variation on the Loess Plateau of central China during the last 130,000 years

    Open AccessZhaolong An, Zhisheng An et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1991

    The magnetic susceptibility of loess and paleosols in central China represents a proxy climate index closely related to past changes of precipitation and vegetation, and thus to summer monsoon intensity. Time series of magnetic susceptibility constructed for three loess-paleosol sequences in the southern part of the Chinese Loess Plateau document the history of summer monsoon variation during the last 130,000 yr. They correlate closely with the o…

  • Pleistocene Climates in Central Europe

    Open AccessJulius Fink, George Kukla et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1977

    At least 17 times during the past 1.7 million years, the deposition of loess containing characteristic cold-resistant gastropods was interrupted by the development of temperate interglacial forests. This conclusion was reached in a study of paleomagnetically dated fossiliferous loess sequences in Krems, Austria and Brno, Czechoslovakia. Sequences of windblown loess interlayered with hillwash loams and steppe and forest soils exposed in brickyards…

  • End of the Last Interglacial in the Loess Record

    Open AccessGeorge Kukla, George J Kukla et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1972

    In the loess series of Central Europe the last interglacial is recorded by the parabrownearth soil accompanied by land snails and pollen of thermophilous deciduous forests. The termination of forest environment is marked by restricted eolian sedimentation and development of chernozemic steppe soil, followed in turn by rapid deposition of calcareous air-borne silt in the so called “Marker” horizon. Hillwash loams and loess interrupted by the weak …

  • Insolation Regime of Interglacials

    Open AccessGeorge Kukla, George J Kukla et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1972

    Seasonal changes in the extent of snow cover and pack-ice were analysed in the satellite-derived maps of the Northern Hemisphere obtained during the last 5 yr. Two intervals were studied in detail: summer 1968 to summer 1969 and summer 1971 to summer 1972. These studies demonstrate that the variation in ground albedo as a result of changing snow and ice cover affects the Earth's energy budget to a far greater degree than any possible extraterrest…
