Sudden climate changes in the recent geological record In Holocene pollen records, this is the period when there was an elm (Ulmus) decline in Europe (about 5,000 14C yrs or 5700 calendar yrs) and the hemlock (Tsuga) decline in North America (about 4,700 4C yrs or 5300 calendar yrs). The event at 8200 ka is the most striking sudden cooling event during the Holocene, giving widespread cool, dry conditions lasting perhaps 200 years before a rapid return to climates warmer and generally moister than the present. It is not yet clear if the general pattern of the transition between the Younger Dryas and Holocene is representative of other rapid warming and cooling events in the past 110,000 years, but similar events seem to have occurred at the beginning of the Eemian (Seidenkrantz et al. www.esd.ornl.gov /projects/qen/transit.html   (14285 words)

Géographie physique et quaternaire : LAKE-LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS AT LE LOCLE, SWISS JURA, FROM THE YOUNGER DRYAS TO THE MID-HOLOCENE: A HIGH-RESOLUTION RECORD OF CLIMATE OSCILLATIONS DURING THE FINAL DEGLACIATION The lake-level fluctuations reconstructed at Le Locle from the late YD to the mid-Holocene appear to be in agreement with the regional pattern of palaeohydrological changes established in the Jura from previous investigations as illustrated by Figure 6 (Magny, 1992b ; Magny and Ruffaldi, 1995).

Abrupt tropical cooling ~8,000 years ago M.K. Gagan, The largest abrupt climate change in the Holocene occurred between 8200 and 8000 calendar years ago, when the temperature dropped by 4-8 C in central Greenland and 1.5-3 C around the North Atlantic region. We drilled a sequence of exceptionally large, well-preserved Porites corals within an uplifted palaeo-reef in Alor, Indonesia, with Th-230 ages spanning the period 8400 to 7600 calendar years before present (Figure 2). The measurements (Figure 2) show that sea-surface temperatures were essentially the same as today from 8400 to 8100 years ago, followed by an abrupt ~3°C cooling over a period of ~100 years, reaching a minimum ~8000 years ago. rses.anu.edu.au /enproc/EP/ep_annrep/gagan.html   (14285 words)

URBN*HNKG : SuperCal This summer, JD Samson of Le Tigre collaborated with photographer Cass Bird on a follow up to their celebrated 2003 project, "JD's Lesbian Calendar", with a new calendar entitled, "JD's Lesbian Utopia". On January 20 JD will be taking back to the road to DJ at Holocene. JD and friends took over 2000 photos and 26 hours of video tape of both the proprietors and visitors of these intentional spaces, and of themselves, who, by traveling together so closely, were creating their own Lesbian Utopia. www.urbanhonking.com /supercal/archives/2006/01/20   (202 words)

SUDDEN CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH HUMAN HISTORY: According to the Greenland ice-cores, conditions remained slightly cooler than present for a while; 'normal' Holocene warmth may not have been attained immediately however, instead taking a further 1500 years (up until around 10,000 calendar years ago) before it was reached. It is not yet clear if the general pattern of the transition between the Younger Dryas and Holocene is representative of other rapid warming and cooling events in the past 110,000 years.

ABSTRACT: Early Holocene glacial lake meltwater injections into the Labrador Sea and Ungava Bay. In this paper we analyze drainage routes and estimate fluxes of meltwater released from Labrador-Ungava glacial lakes into the Labrador Sea, Ungava Bay, and Hudson Bay between 7.5 and 6.0 kyr BP (8.4—7.0 calendar (cal) years ka). The analysis and estimates are based on landform-based reconstructions of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) decay pattern and the associated glacial lake evolution. Geomorphological data constraining the spatial extent of glacial lakes are coupled to a digital terrain model for meltwater volume calculations. cgrg.geog.uvic.ca /abstracts/JanssonEarlyIn.html   (231 words)

Empire of Atlantium - Annus Novus Decimal Calendar In a move that provided a catalyst for the re-examination of the calendar issue within Atlantium, the IUS system was formally abandoned by directive of Emperor George II shortly after the Refundatio in 10518 (1999). The Annus Novus year-numbering convention is derived from the approximate date for the worldwide end of the Pleistocene Era and the last Ice Age, and the beginning of the Holocene. Conscious of the potentially negative impact of cultural chauvinism on its activities the Empire of Atlantium has a history of striving to develop systems and symbolism that reflect its innovative, inclusive, secular, global, cross-cultural and trans-national nature. www.atlantium.org /calendaran.html   (554 words)

NOAA Paleoclimatology Program - Hantemirov and Shiyatov NW Siberia Temperature Reconstruction Remains of subfossil Siberian larch trees in the Holocene deposits of the Yamal Peninsula (Western Siberia) have been collected in order to develop a continuous, multimillennium tree-ring-width chronology. This work has produced a calendar-age dated 4000-year (2000 BC to AD 1996) series. An initial assessment of long-term fluctuations in Yamal summer warmth has been realized through the reconstruction of tree-line dynamics using a combination of dendrochronological (absolute) dated material and less precisely (radiocarbon) dated older subfossils. www.ncdc.noaa.gov /paleo/pubs/hantemirov2002/hantemirov2002.html   (242 words)

Holocene landscape evolution in the Karelian Isthmus and lake Ladoga area. Man has been present in the area since Early Holocene as shown by the famous fishing net from Antrea dated to 9200 BP (or 10000 calendar years ago). A dramatic event took place in the recent past in AD 1818 when a spring flood broke through a natural dam between Lake Suvanto and Lake Ladoga, the level of Suvanto dropped by several metres, and the River Taipaleenjoki was formed and became the principal new outlet of River Vuoksi. The Neolithic settlers wittnessed the outburst of Lake Sairnaa waters via River Vuoksi to Lake Ladoga which resulted in flooding of coastal dwellings 5000 BP. arhipel.hiiumaa.ee /norfa/abstracts/petersburg/36.html   (336 words)

Atlas: Calendar year ages of palaeomagnetic features and tephra layers obtained from Holocene varved lake sediment sequences in W Sweden by Lovisa Zillén Regional Holocene palaeomagnetic master curves on calendar year time-scales can be constructed by palaeomagnetic secular variation measurements (PSV) of varved lake sediments and used for dating (Saarinen, 1999). Atlas: Calendar year ages of palaeomagnetic features and tephra layers obtained from Holocene varved lake sediment sequences in W Sweden by Lovisa Zillén Annually laminated lake sediments (or varved lake sediments) are ideal geological archives since they provide calendar year chronologies and the advantage to present palaeoclimate-and palaeoenvironmental data at a high- temporal resolution (Renberg and Segerström, 1981; Saarnisto, 1986). atlas-conferences.com /c/a/g/c/38.htm   (558 words)
