A speleothem record of Holocene climate variability
from southwestern Mexico.
Quaternary Research, Vol. 75(1), pp. 104-113, January 2011.
DOI: 10.1016/j.yqres.2010.09.002
A paleoclimate reconstruction for the Holocene based upon
variations of d18O in a U-Th dated stalagmite from southwestern
Mexico is presented. Our results indicate that the arrival of
moisture to the area has been strongly linked to the input of
glacial meltwaters into the North Atlantic throughout the Holocene.
The record also suggests a complex interplay between Caribbean
and Pacific moisture sources, modulated by the North Atlantic SST
and the position of the ITCZ, where Pacific moisture becomes
increasingly more influential through ENSO since ~4.3 ka.
The interruption of stalagmite growth during the largest climatic
anomalies of the Holocene (10.3 and 8.2 ka) is evidenced by the
presence of hiatuses, which suggest a severe disruption in the
arrival of moisture to the area. The d18O record presented here
has important implications for understanding the evolution
of the North American Monsoon and climate in southwestern Mexico,
as it represents one of the most detailed archives of climate
variability for the area spanning most of the Holocene.
STUDY NOTES: Stalagmite stable isotope (d13C and d18O) data from stalagmite CBD-2,
collected from Cueva del Diablo, Mexico.
