Description:
Warming at the last glacial termination in the North Atlantic region was interrupted by a period of renewed glacial activity during the Younger Dryas chronozone (YDC). The underlying mechanism of this cooling remains elusive, but hypotheses turn on whether it was a global or a North Atlantic phenomenon. Chronological, sedimentological, and palaeoecological records from sediments of small lakes in oceanic southern Chile demonstrate that there was no YDC cooling in southern Chile. It is therefore likely that there was little or no cooling in southern Pacific surface waters and hence that YDC cooling in the North Atlantic was a regional, rather than global, phenomenon.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bennett, K D -- Haberle, S G -- Lumley, S H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2000 Oct 13;290(5490):325-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Quaternary Geology, Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University, Villavagen 16, S-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden.
