A mild Younger Dryas recorded in southeastern Alaska

Abstract: Palynological and sedimentological analyses of lacustrine cores from Baker Island, located in southeastern Alaska's Alexander Archipelago, indicate that the beginning of the Younger Dryas chronozone, between approximately 12,900 cal yr BP and approximately 12,600 cal yr BP, was cooler and drier than modern conditions, based on decreases in the percentages of Pinus (pine) and Tsuga mertensiana (mountain hemlock) pollen accompanied by increases in Alnus (alder) pollen and fern spores. This initial cool period, l… Show more

“…Yu and Eicher, 1998). This magnitude of temperature change is similar to those documented in other studies in southern Alaska at this time (Hu and Shemesh, 2003; Yu et al, 2008; Wilcox et al, 2020). However, this estimate should be treated with caution, both because of the disequilibrium fractionation effects associated with charophytes (Pentecost et al, 2006), and because the ẟ 18 O of precipitation is known to be strongly influenced by climate variables other than temperature in the Cook Inlet region (Bailey et al, 2019).…”
