Solar forcing of Holocene climate: New insights from
a speleothem record, southwestern United States.
Geology, vol. 35, no. 1, pp. 1-4, January 2007.
doi: 10.1130/G22865A.1
Holocene climate change has likely had a profound influence
on ecosystems and culture. A link between solar forcing and
Holocene climate, such as the Asian monsoon, has been shown
for some regions, although no mechanism for this relationship
has been suggested. Here we present the first high-resolution
complete Holocene climate record for the North American monsoon
region of the southwestern United States (southwest) in order
to address the nature and causes of Holocene climate change.
We show that periods of increased solar radiation correlate
with decreased rainfall, the opposite to that observed in the
Asian monsoon, and suggest that a solar link to Holocene
climate is through changes in the Walker circulation and the
Pacific Decadal Oscillation and El Niño-Southern Oscillation
systems of the tropical Pacific Ocean. Given the link between
increased warming and aridity in the southwest, additional
warming due to greenhouse forcing could potentially lead to
persistent hyperarid conditions, similar to those seen in
our record during periods of high solar activity.
STUDY NOTES: High-resolution (average time step 17 years) Holocene
stalagmite oxygen isotope data from Pink Panther Cave
in the Guadalupe Mountains, New Mexico.
Oxygen stable isotope ratios were measured at 200 um
intervals from sample PP1, a 14-cm-long stalagmite,
for a total of 681 samples, an average time resolution
of 17 yr over the entire period.
