英文摘要 | The connection between abrupt high-latitude warming during the last glacial period-Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events-and rapid climate changes at lower latitudes has revealed inter-hemispheric teleconnections in the ocean-atmosphere system. Links between DO events and climate variability in mid-latitude, mid-continent settings remain, however, poorly understood, especially in North America where climate archives with sufficient time resolution are scarce. Here we examine a speleothem that grew from similar to 70-50 thousand years ago (ka) in Wisconsin (United States) and combine fluorescent imaging of its growth banding with an annual-resolution oxygen isotope (delta O-18) record. Eight large (2.0-3.0 parts per thousand) negative delta O-18 excursions, each with an onset in <10 annual growth bands, occur between 61-55 ka, when DO events 17-14 are recorded in the ice core of the North Greenland Ice Core Project. Although the age model does not allow these delta O-18 excursions to be matched to specific DO events, their magnitude and rapid onset support a credible link. Isotope-enabled climate simulations suggest that abrupt DO warming would increase the delta O-18 of annual precipitation in the study area and corroborate that warming of >10 degrees C in <10 years is thus required to produce the observed negative delta O-18 excursions. Our findings of expansive abrupt DO warming in central North America has implications for environmental, climate and ice sheet dynamics. |
