Richard B. Alley,Paul Andrew Mayewski,Todd Sowers,Minze Stuiver,Kendrick C. Taylor,Peter U. Clark +5 more
TL;DR: The most prominent Holocene climatic event in Greenland ice-core proxies, with approximately half the amplitude of the Younger Dryas, occurred ∼8000 to 8400 yr ago.

Richard B. Alley,D. A. Meese,C. A. Shuman,Anthony J. Gow,Kendrick C. Taylor,Pieter Meiert Grootes,James W. C. White,M. Ram,E. D. Waddington,Paul Andrew Mayewski,Gregory A. Zielinski +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from a new Greenland ice core (GISP2) showing that snow accumulation doubled rapidly from the Younger Dryas event to the subsequent Preboreal interval, possibly in one to three years.
