Frumkin, A., D.C. Ford, and H.P. Schwarcz. 1999.
Continental Oxygen Isotopic Record of the Last 170,000 Years
in Jerusalem. Quaternary Research, Vol. 51, pp. 317-327.
A long radiometrically dated oxygen isotopic record of continental
climatic variations since the penultimate glaciation was obtained
from a stalagmite deposited in a sealed cave in Jerusalem.
This record shows that speleothems have the potential of assigning
dates to long- and short-term climatic events, with possible
refining of Milankovitch tuning of ice and marine records which
themselves are not datable. Short-term (~1000-yr) events are very
significant in the region, reaching ~50% of glacial/interglacial
fluctuations. The Mediterranean Sea was the most probable source
of local precipitation throughout the last glacial cycle.
STUDY NOTES: Oxygen isotope data from stalagmite AF12 from Jerusalem West Cave.
The original data files were lost - these data were digitized by the WDC for Paleoclimatology.
