Journal ArticleDOI
An event stratigraphy for the Last Termination in the North Atlantic region based on the Greenland ice-core record: a proposal by the INTIMATE group
Svante Björck,Michael Walker,Les C. Cwynar,Sigfus J Johnsen,Karen Luise Knudsen,J. John Lowe,Barbara Wohlfarth +6 more
TL;DR: Based on the oxygen isotope signal in the GRIP Greenland ice core, a new event stratigraphy spanning the time interval from ca. 22.0 to 11.5 k GRIP yr BP (ca. 19.0-10.0 k 14 C yr BP) is proposed for the North Atlantic region as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the history of the Baltic Sea, 13.0-8.0 ka BP
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the development during the Baltic Ice Lake, Yoldia Sea, and Ancylus Lake stages is presented based on the present-state-of-knowledge and certain hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch: a Discussion Paper by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice‐core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (International Commission on Stratigraphy)
Michael Walker,Max Berkelhammer,Svante Björck,Les C. Cwynar,David A. Fisher,Antony J. Long,J. John Lowe,Rewi M. Newnham,Sun Olander Rasmussen,Harvey Weiss +9 more
TL;DR: This article proposed an Early-Middle Holocene Boundary at 8200 a BP and a Middle-Late Holocene boundary at 4200 aBP, each of which is linked to a Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) to ensure consistency in stratigraphic terminology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synchronisation of palaeoenvironmental events in the North Atlantic region during the Last Termination: a revised protocol recommended by the INTIMATE group
J. John Lowe,Sune Olander Rasmussen,Svante Björck,Wim Z. Hoek,Jørgen Peder Steffensen,Mikael J C Walker,Zicheng Yu +6 more
TL;DR: The North Atlantic INTIMATE group of the INQUA Palaeoclimate Commission has previously recommended an Event Stratigraphy approach for the synchronisation of records of the Last Termination using the Greenland GRIP isotopic record as the regional stratotype and INTCAL98 for the calibration of radiocarbon dates as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formal definition and dating of the GSSP (Global Stratotype Section and Point) for the base of the Holocene using the Greenland NGRIP ice core, and selected auxiliary records
Michael Walker,Sigfus J Johnsen,Sune Olander Rasmussen,Trevor Popp,Trevor Popp,J. P. Steffensen,Philip L. Gibbard,Wim Z. Hoek,J. John Lowe,John T. Andrews,Svante Björck,Les C. Cwynar,Konrad A Hughen,Peter Kershaw,Bernd Kromer,Thomas Litt,David J. Lowe,Takeshi Nakagawa,Rewi M. Newnham,Jakob Schwander +19 more
TL;DR: The Greenland ice core from NorthGRIP (NGRIP) contains a proxy climate record across the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary of unprecedented clarity and resolution, which enables the base of the Holocene, as reflected in the first signs of climatic warming at the end of the Younger Dryas/Greenland Stadial 1 cold phase, to be located with a high degree of precision as discussed by the authors.
