  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Evidence is mounting that abrupt climatic shifts occurred during the last glacial-interglacial transition (LGIT) in the North Atlantic and other regions. However, few high-resolution climatic records of the LGIT exist from the high latitudes of the North Pacific rim. We analyzed lakesediments from southwestern Alaska for biogenic silica,organic carbon, organic nitrogen, diatom assemblages, and compound-specific hydrogen isotopes. Results revealclimatic changes coincident with the Younger Dryas, Intra-Allerød Cold Period, and Pre-Boreal Oscillation. However,major discrepancies exist in the paleoclimate patterns of the Bølling-Allerød interstadial between our data and the GISP2 d18O record from Greenland, and causes are uncertain. These data suggest that the North Pacific and North Atlanticexperienced similar reversals during climatic warming of theLGIT but that the Bølling-Allerød cooling trend in the GISP2d18O record is probably not a hemispheric or global pattern.
