Middle- to late-Holocene storminess in Brittany (NW France): Part II – The chronology of events and climate forcing

Abstract: This study focuses on the recurring climate conditions required for the largest storms occurring in NW France (Brittany). It is based on the analysed records of storm events along Western Brittany coast (see Part I). In this manuscript (Part II), storm recurrence is explored along with forcing mechanisms. Periods of more frequent storm events over the two last centuries are analysed first in order to link these events with possible forcing mechanisms (North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Atlantic Multidecadal … Show more

“…Palaeo-storminess traces have already been discussed and events were extracted from the Holocene prism stratigraphy (Van Vliet-Lanoë et al, 2014b). The RSL curve for Brittany (Goslin, 2014;Goslin et al, 2013) was calibrated with the …”

“…This burial place was re-abandoned in the late 12th century (Giot and Monnier, 1977) with a renewed dune invasion. This period was marked by giant storms, well recorded around 900 AD in southern Brittany (Van Vliet-Lanoë et al, 2014b). A limited stabilisation was observed from 1000 to 1200 AD, which was recorded in the form of humic soils or peaty layers in the region, although it was frequently interrupted by giant storms in the form of washover fans during the 11th century (Van Vliet-Lanoë et al, 2014b).…”
