Popis: | Paleoproductivity records from Lake Baikal indicate that the last interglaciation in southeastern Siberia lasted ca. 12,000 yr from 127,000 to 115,000 yr B.P., was punctuated by a climatic oscillation about 120,000 yr ago, and ended abruptly with a rapid onset of regional glaciation during marine isotope substage (MIS) 5d. The Siberian equivalent of the MIS 5e–5d transition appears to lead the post-Eemian cold pulses in Europe and in the central North Atlantic by 5000 to 8000 yr. The Baikal record also registers a pronounced cold event during early MIS 5c, which correlates with the Montaigu event in pollen records from France. In Siberia, the climatic deterioration during the MIS 5d was a full-scale glacial pulse unlike the short, moderate cooling during the Montaigu event. |
