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

Diatom oxygen isotopes in pro-glacial lake sediments from northern Sweden: a 5000 year record of atmospheric circulation
TL;DR: The authors used a proglacial oxygen isotope record of diatom silica and a sedimentary proxy for glacier flutuations to determine centennial-millennial scale climate change during the last 5000 years.

Third millennium B.C. climate change in Syria highlighted by Carbon stable isotope analysis of 14C-AMS dated plant remains from Ebla
Girolamo Fiorentino,Valentina Caracuta,Lucio Calcagnile,Marisa D’Elia,P. Matthiae,Fabio Mavelli,Gianluca Quarta +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) for simultaneous analysis of carbon stable isotopic values and 14C dating on charred plant remains found in the archaeological site in Ebla (Syria) and propose the diachronic variation in δ13C plant values as a possible palaeoclimatic tool.

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
