title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - GISP2 Ice Core 110 KYr Laser Light Scattering Data

description: In this paper, we present and discuss the pre-Holocene dust profile of the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice core retrieved from central Greenland measured using laser/light scattering (LLS) from ice and compare it with the electrical conductivity method and oxygen isotope profiles. We describe how we dated the pre/Holocene ice using the annual dust peaks observed with LLS (starting from the accepted chronology to 2250 m) and obtained a chronology in substantial accord with the gas-age dating of the ice. We also show that the GISP2 ice core penetrated the Eemian and that a record of a 10.2-kyr penultimate glaciation is present in the GISP2 core.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Central Pacific ODP865 d18O and Mg/Ca Analyses from the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum

description: We report d18O and minor element (Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca) data acquired by high-resolution,in situ secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) from planktic foraminiferal shells and 100–500 µm sized diagenetic crystallites recovered from a deep-sea record (ODP Site 865) of the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM). The d18O of crystallites (~1.2‰ Pee Dee Belemnite (PDB)) is ~4.8‰ higher than that of planktic foraminiferal calcite ( 3.6‰ PDB), while crystallite Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios are slightly higher and substantially lower than in planktic foraminiferal calcite, respectively. The focused stratigraphic distribution of the crystallites signals an association with PETM conditions; hence, we attribute their formation to early diagenesis initially sourced by seafloor dissolution (burndown) ensued by reprecipitation at higher carbonate saturation. The Mg/Ca ratios of the crystallites are an order of magnitude lower than those predicted by inorganic precipitation experiments, whichmay reflect a degree of inheritance from“donor” phases of biogenic calcite that underwent solution in the sediment column. In addition, SIMS d18O and electron microprobe Mg/Ca analyses that were taken within a planktic foraminiferal shell yield parallel increases along traverses that coincide with muricae blades on the chamber wall. The parallel d18O and Mg/Ca increases indicate a diagenetic origin for the blades, but their d18O value ( 0.5‰ PDB) is lower than that of crystallites suggesting that these two phases of diagenetic carbonate formed at different times. Finally, we posit that elevated levels of early diagenesis acted in concert with sediment mixing and carbonate dissolution to attenuate the d18O decrease signaling PETM warming in “wholeshell” records published for Site 865.
description: In situ oxygen isotope data were acquired between January and March 2011 in the WiscSIMS Laboratory at UW-Madison by a CAMECA ims-1280 large radius ion microprobe. A 133Cs+ primary ion beam with an intensity of ~1.6 nA was focused to a diameter of ~10 µm. For smaller domains, a 133Cs+ primary ion beam with an intensity of ~30 pA was focused to a diameter of ~3 µm. Charging of the sample surface was compensated by Au-coating and an electron flood gun. Grains of UWC-3 calcite standard (d18O = 12.49 per mill V-SMOW, Kozdon et al. 2009) were cast in the center of each epoxy mount. Four to five consecutive measurements of UWC-3 calcite standard were performed before and after every set of up to 15 sample analyses. SIMS analyses for minor and major element concentrations were performed using a primary O- ion beam, with an intensity of 1 nA, focused to a ~ 1.5 µm beam spot size. Further, Mg/Ca measurements in small domains were performed on the CAMECA SX51 electron microprobe at the UW-Madison Department of Geoscience.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Bohai Sea 1327KYr Grain Size Data and Reconstructed Relative Water Level

description: Asian marginal seas play an important role in moderating material and energy flux linkages between Asia and the Northwest Pacific, and thus have profound climatic and environmental effects. In this study, by combining paleomagnetic study with sediment grain-size analysis on the Lz908 borehole sedimentary sequence from the southern Bohai Sea, new insights into regional geomorphological process since the late early Pleistocene are obtained. The main results are as follows. (1) Paleomagnetic findings suggest that the sequence recorded the Brunhes normal chron and the late Matuyama reverse chron, including the Jaramillo normal subchron. (2) The sedimentary processes in the study area since 1327 ka show a three-stage pattern, with depositional rates of 4.3, 17 and 107 cm/ka during 1327-260 ka (later part of the early and middle Pleistocene), 260-10 ka (late middle and late Pleistocene), and the Holocene, respectively. (3) The sedimentary basin was a part of the Bohai Paleolakes (BHPL) prior to 260 ka, whose water levels were consistently higher than 3 m above the present-day level. After 260 ka, seawater entered the Bohai basin, and relative sea level cyclically fluctuated with global sea-level changes. We therefore infer that the Miaodao Islands, which were the natural barrier of the BHPL blocking seawater entry, had partially subsided before 260 ka, only allowing seawater to enter the basin during a global sea-level maximum. The BHPL terminated around 260 ka, and the "barrier" subsided completely around ~130 ka, causing the Bohai basin to become an inner shelf sea.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Western Pacific Warm Pool Oxygen Isotope and Mg/Ca Data and SST Reconstruction during the Pleistocene

description: In the late Pleistocene, the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (pCO2) is thought to be a primary driving force for tropical sea surface temperature (SST) change because glacial-interglacial changes in tropical Pacific SST covary with pCO2. However, if the regional radiative effects of pCO2 were the only agent of change, tropical SST gradients should have remained similar as pCO2 varied with time. Instead, a new record of SST from the west Pacific shows that tropical SST gradients were different, even reversed, in the past, suggesting an important role for dynamical circulation changes. Specifically, changes in the temperature of upwelled source water, in addition to local pCO2 forcing, influenced tropical Pacific SST. These dynamical changes, rather than pCO2, may have shifted the background state of the tropics and even helped set the stage for the mid-Pleistocene transition.
description: These are data from the western Pacific warm pool, derived from sediments of Site 871, retrieved as part of ODP drilling. The dataset contains both oxygen isotopic values measured on benthic foraminifera and Mg/Ca values measured on planktic foraminifera. Included is the estimated sea surface temperature value, derived from planktic Mg/Ca.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Fennoscandia 1200 Year Tree Growth Data and Summer Temperature Reconstruction

description: Combining nine tree growth proxies from four sites, from the west coast of Norway to the Kola Peninsula of NW Russia, provides a well replicated (> 100 annual measurements per year) mean index of tree growth over the last 1200 years that represents the growth of much of the northern pine timberline forests of northern Fennoscandia. The simple mean of the nine series, z-scored over their common period, correlates strongly with mean June to August temperature averaged over this region (r = 0.81), allowing reconstructions of summer temperature based on regression and variance scaling. The reconstructions correlate significantly with gridded summer temperatures across the whole of Fennoscandia, extending north across Svalbard and south into Denmark. Uncertainty in the reconstructions is estimated by combining the uncertainty in mean tree growth with the uncertainty in the regression models. Over the last seven centuries the uncertainty is < 4.5% higher than in the 20th century, and reaches a maximum of 12% above recent levels during the 10th century. The results suggest that the 20th century was the warmest of the last 1200 years, but that it was not significantly different from the 11th century. The coldest century was the 17th. The impact of volcanic eruptions is clear, and a delayed recovery from pairs or multiple eruptions suggests the presence of some positive feedback mechanism. There is no clear and consistent link between northern Fennoscandian summer temperatures and solar forcing.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Sikuiui Lake, Greenland 9,400 Year Sediment Physical Properties Data

description: Recent observations indicate that ice-ocean interaction drives much of the recent increase in mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet; however, the role of ocean forcing in driving past glacier change is poorly understood. To extend the observational record and our understanding of the ocean-cryosphere link, we used a multi-proxy approach that combines new data from proglacial lake sediments, 14C-dated in situ moss that recently emerged from beneath cold-based ice caps, and 10Be ages to reconstruct centennial-scale records of mountain glacier activity for the past ~10 k.y. in West Greenland. Proglacial lake sediment records and 14C dating of moss indicate the onset of Neoglaciation in West Greenland at ca. 5 ka with substantial snowline lowering and glacier expansion at ca. 3.7 ka followed by additional ice expansion phases at ca. 2.9, ca. 1.7, and ca. 1.4 ka and during the Little Ice Age. We find that widespread glacier growth at ca. 3.7 ka in West Greenland coincides with marked cooling and reduced strength of the West Greenland Current in Disko Bugt. The transition to cooler ocean conditions at ca. 3.7 ka identified in Disko Bugt is registered by marine proxy data farther afield in East Greenland and on the northwestern Icelandic shelf, implying large-scale paleoceanographic changes across the North Atlantic during this interval. The similarity between glacier change on West Greenland and multiple marine and terrestrial records across the North Atlantic suggests that glaciers are strongly influenced by changes in ocean circulation and consequently implies that the ocean-cryosphere teleconnection is a persistent feature of the Arctic system.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Pisaric - Fallen Tree Mackenzie Delta - PCGL - ITRDB CANA522

description: We present a reconstruction of June-July minimum temperatures since AD 1245 for the Mackenzie Delta region based on a 29-site network of white spruce (Picea glauca) ring-width series. Most but not all trees experienced a divergent temperature-growth response, similar to the divergence that has affected other white spruce trees across Yukon and Alaska. However, divergence in the study region began as early as AD 1900 and we have documented our methods to avoid including divergent signals in the reconstruction. Calibration/verification testing based on local temperature data, and multi-century coherence with nearby and large-scale temperature proxy records, confirm that our reconstruction is robust. The reconstruction shows cool conditions in the late 13th, early 18th and early 19th centuries, corresponding with solar minima and increased volcanism. These cool periods are interrupted by warm periods consistent with early to mid-20th century warmth. The late 20th century is the warmest interval, and the last decade is estimated to be 1.4C warmer than any decade before the mid-20th century. The reconstructed climate history corroborates other proxy-based inferences and supports the notion that high-latitude regions such as the Mackenzie Delta have experienced rapid warming in recent decades that is exceptional in the last eight centuries.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Allen - Mt. Read - ATSE - ITRDB AUSL045

description: Seasonal variability is a significant source of uncertainty in projected changes to precipitation across southeastern Australia (SEA). While existing instrumental records provide seasonal data for recent decades, most proxy records (e.g., tree rings, corals, speleothems) offer only annual reconstructions of hydroclimate. We present the first cool-season (July-August) reconstruction of dam inflow (Lake Burbury) for western Tasmania in SEA based on tree-ring width (Athrotaxis selaginoides) and mean latewood cell wall thickness (Phyllocladus aspleniifolius) chronologies. The reconstruction, produced using principal component regression, verifies back to 1731 and is moderately skillful, explaining around 23% of the variance. According to the reconstruction, relatively low inflow periods occurred around 1860, the early 1900s and 1970, while relatively high inflows occurred in the 1770s and 1810s. Highest reconstructed inflows occurred in 1816, and lowest in 1909. Comparison with available documentary and instrumental records indicates that the reconstruction better captures high rather than low flow events. There is virtually no correlation between our reconstruction and another for December-January inflow for the same catchment, a result consistent with the relationship between seasonal instrumental data. This suggests that conditions in one season have not generally reflected conditions in the other season over the instrumental record, or for the past 277 years. This illustrates the value of obtaining reconstructions of regional hydroclimatic variability for multiple individual seasons in regions where dry and wet seasons are not strongly defined. The results also indicate that the hydroclimate of the southeastern Australian region cannot be adequately represented by a single regional reconstruction.

title: NOAA/WDS Paleoclimatology - Mundo fire data from Brazo Rico - Faldeo Los Notros, Patagonia - IMPD ARNOT001

description: Fire is a major disturbance affecting forests worldwide with significant economic, social and ecological impacts. The southernmost forests on Earth extend continuously along the Andes from mid- to subantarctic latitudes in South America. In this region, warming and drying trends since the mid-20th century have been linked to a positive trend in the Southern Annual Mode (SAM), the leading mode of extratropical climate variability in the Southern Hemisphere. Due to the scarcity of documentary fire records and the lack of tree-ring fire histories, little is known about how wildfire activity responds to shifts in the westerly circulation pattern and associated climatic variability in the Andean region south of c. 44°S. For the first time, we applied dendrochronological techniques to reconstruct fire history from the angiosperm Nothofagus pumilio at 16 sites distributed from c. 44 to 50oS to determine relationships between fire occurrence and the two primary drivers of wildfire activity: climate variability and human activities. Partial cross-sections with fire-scars were collected from 363 trees in Argentina and Chile. Chronologies of annually resolved fire-scar dates start in 1791 and show a pattern of higher fire frequency during the 20th century, concurrent with the human occupation and colonization processes in southern Patagonia. Years of widespread fire occurring synchronously in two or more disjunct sites are associated with broad-scale climatic anomalies. Intense droughts inferred from extreme departures in temperature, precipitation and the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) during the growing seasons of 1944 and 1962 are consistent with the two most severe fires at northern sites. Extended droughts, reflected by the association of fire occurrence with 6-month cumulative precipitation and SPEI, create conditions for widespread fires at the southern sites (south of c. 46°S). Regional fires were concurrent with significant positive departures of SAM during the austral spring-summer. This tree-ring fire record reveals the influences of both climate variability and human activities on fire in the N. pumilio forests across the Andes, and also establishes the feasibility of using this tree species as a natural archive of fire history.
