Hou, J.,Huang, Y.,Oswald, W.,Foster, D.R.,Shuman, B. 2007. Centennial-scale compound-specific hydrogen isotope record of Pleistocene-Holocene climate transition from southern New England. Geophysical Research Letters, 34, L19706.
Northeastern North America experienced major climate shifts during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. However, there have been no high-resolution isotopic records of climate change from this region. Here, we present a centennial-scale record of climate change duringthe transition based on D/H ratios of behenic acid (C22 nacid) or dDBA from a sediment core in Blood Pond, Massachusetts. Surface calibrations from a transect of 19 lakes in eastern North America show that dDBA values track mean annual atmospheric temperature variations. The abrupt climate events observed in Blood Pond records show remarkable similarity with Greenland ice core d18O records during the Pleistocene. During the early Holocene, the northeastern North America dDBA record was more variable than Greenland, possibly due to the close proximity of the Laurentide ice sheet, and impact of freshwater outbursts as the ice sheet rapidly retreated.
