- Abstract:
- Different glacial-interglacial cycles can be thought of as a series of natural experiments in which boundary conditions varied considerably, with consequent effects on the character of climate change. The aim of this project is to examine the nature and extent of vegetation changes during the penultimate cycle (130-245 ka), an interval characterized by some unusual climate states, in order to understand the sensitivity of vegetation to different intensities and frequencies of climate forcing. The target area is Ioannina, W. Greece, one of the most important reference sequences in Europe where a highly detailed pollen record of the last 130 kyr has been recently generated, providing a solid basis to attempt comparisons with earlier periods.
