Late Holocene sea-surface temperature and precipitation 
variability in northern Patagonia, Chile (Jacaf Fjord, 44°S).

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>A high-resolution multi-proxy study including the elemental and 
isotopic composition of bulk organic matter, land plant-derived 
biomarkers, and alkenone-based sea-surface temperature (SST) 
from a marine sedimentary record obtained from the Jacaf Fjord 
in northern Chilean Patagonia (~44°20&apos;S) provided a detailed 
reconstruction of continental runoff, precipitation, and summer 
SST spanning the last 1750 yr. We observed two different regimes 
of climate variability in our record: a relatively dry/warm period 
before 900 cal yr BP (lower runoff and average SST 1°C warmer 
than present day) and a wet/cold period after 750 cal yr BP 
(higher runoff and average SST 1°C colder than present day). 
Relatively colder SSTs were found during 750-600 and 450-250 
cal yr BP, where the latter period roughly corresponds to the 
interval defined for the Little Ice Age (LIA). Similar climatic 
swings have been observed previously in continental and marine 
archives of the last two millennia from central and southern Chile, 
suggesting a strong latitudinal sensitivity to changes in the 
Southern Westerly Winds, the main source of precipitation in 
southern Chile, and validating the regional nature of the LIA. 
Our results reveal the importance of the Chilean fjord system 
for recording climate changes of regional and global significance.
 
          STUDY NOTES: High-resolution multi-proxy fjord marine sediment data 
for the last 1750 years from northern Chilean Patagonia.  
Data include the elemental and isotopic composition 
of bulk organic matter, land plant-derived biomarkers, 
and alkenone-based sea-surface temperature (SST).
These data provide a history of continental runoff, 
precipitation, and summer SST spanning the last 1750 yr.
