- Abstract:
- The proposed research will extend the detailed, independently dated and sensitive 101 ka terrestrial palaeoenvironmental record from Lago Grande di Monticchio back through the Eemian to the Saalian glacial. In the light of increasing concern about effects of temperature-related abrupt mode switches of the thermohaline circulation (THC) this study, of a globally warmer period for which there is evidence of an alternative THC mode being prevalent, is timely. Additionally, high-temporal resolution studies of the last two glacial terminations will be made. Comparisons of these records with other independently dated records of rapid and abrupt change and with modeling results will contribute to elucidating the mechanisms of abrupt climate change.
