TLDR
A solar forcing mechanism therefore may underlie at least the Holocene segment of the North Atlantic's “1500-year” cycle, potentially providing an additional mechanism for amplifying the solar signals and transmitting them globally.Abstract:
Surface winds and surface ocean hydrography in the subpolar North Atlantic appear to have been influenced by variations in solar output through the entire Holocene. The evidence comes from a close correlation between inferred changes in production rates of the cosmogenic nuclides carbon-14 and beryllium-10 and centennial to millennial time scale changes in proxies of drift ice measured in deep-sea sediment cores. A solar forcing mechanism therefore may underlie at least the Holocene segment of the North Atlantic's "1500-year" cycle. The surface hydrographic changes may have affected production of North Atlantic Deep Water, potentially providing an additional mechanism for amplifying the solar signals and transmitting them globally.read more

The Late Glacial and Holocene development of vegetation in the area of a fossil lake in the Skaliska Basin (north-eastern Poland) inferred from pollen analysis and radiocarbon dating
Piotr Kołaczek,Mirosława Kupryjanowicz,Monika Karpińska-Kołaczek,Marta Szal,Hanna Winter,Weronika Danel,Katarzyna Pochocka-Szwarc,Renata Stachowicz-Rybka +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of vegetation in the Skaliska Basin has been reconstructed on the basis of palynological analysis and radiocarbon dating (AMS technique) of 6 sites from the late phase of the Bolling- Allerod interstadial complex to modern times.

Holocene variability in the range distribution and abundance of Pinus, Picea abies, and Quercus in Romania; implications for their current status
TL;DR: Results from this synthesis do not indicate any apparent time lag in the establishment of Pinus diploxylon type ( Pinus sylvestris and Pinus mugo), Pinus cembra, P. abies, and Quercus across Romania within the limits of the dating resolution, but the onset of the mass expansion of P. Abies was not uniform, spreading earlier from sites in the western and north-western Carpathians than in the east.

Holocene climatic change revealed by aeolian deposits from the Gonghe Basin, northeastern Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR: In this paper, a climate record for the Gonghe Basin in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau during the Holocene period was determined from a 3.90m aeolian deposit.

Holocene highstand deposits in the Gulf of Cadiz, SW Iberian Peninsula: A high-resolution record of hierarchical environmental changes
Francisco J. Lobo,Luis Miguel Fernández-Salas,Francisco Javier Hernandéz-Molina,R. Gonzalez,João Alveirinho Dias,V. Diaz del Rio,Luis Somoza +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the internal structure of Holocene highstand shallow-marine deposits with emerged spit-bar systems in the Gulf of Cadiz margin (SW Iberian Peninsula) is presented, in order to increase the knowledge about the patterns of environmental fluctuations of sub-Milankovitch periodicity during the recent highstand period.

Coeval dry events in the central and eastern Mediterranean basin at 5.2 and 5.6 ka recorded in Corchia (Italy) and Soreq caves (Israel) speleothems
G. Zanchetta,G. Zanchetta,M. Bar-Matthews,Russell N. Drysdale,Piero Lionello,A. Ayalon,John Hellstrom,Ilaria Isola,Eleonora Regattieri +8 more
TL;DR: Soreq and Corchia Caves are located 2500 km far apart along the Mediterranean winter-storm track and are ideally suited for investigating past variations of winter rainfall in the Mediterranean region.

Douglas G. Martinson,Nicklas G Pisias,James D. Hays,John Imbrie,Theodore C. Moore,Nicholas J Shackleton +5 more
TL;DR: Using the concept of "orbital tuning", a continuous, high-resolution deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr as mentioned in this paper.

A Pervasive Millennial-Scale Cycle in North Atlantic Holocene and Glacial Climates
Gerard C. Bond,William J. Showers,Maziet Cheseby,Rusty Lotti,Peter Almasi,Peter B deMenocal,Paul Priore,Heidi Cullen,Irka Hajdas,Georges Bonani +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the North Atlantic deep sea cores reveal that abrupt shifts punctuated what is conventionally thought to have been a relatively stable Holocene climate, and they make up a series of climate shifts with a cyclicity close to 1470 ± 500 years, which is the most recent manifestation of a pervasive millennial-scale climate cycle operating independently of the glacial-interglacial climate state.

Revised carbonate-water isotopic temperature scale
TL;DR: The relationship between temperature and O(18) content relative to that for a Cretaceous belemnite of the Pee Dee formation previously reported (Epstein, Buchsbaum, Lowenstam, and Urey, 1951) has been re-determined using modified procedures for removing organic matter from shells, and is found to be 16.5 - 4.3 δ + 0.14 δ^2
