Comment on "Absence of cooling in New Zealand and the adjacent ocean during the Younger Dryas chronozone".

چکیده
Barrows et al. (Reports, 5 October 2007, p. 86) presented cosmogenic exposure dates and data from an ocean sediment core that challenge evidence for glacier advance in New Zealand during the Younger Dryas event. We use modeling of geomorphic processes to argue that their cosmogenic exposure dates are inconclusive.

The anatomy of a climatic oscillation: vegetation change in eastern North America during the Younger Dryas chronozone
Century-scale climate changes reshaped circulation patterns over the North Atlantic and adjacent regions during the last glacialto-interglacial transition. Here, we show that vegetation across eastern North America shifted dramatically at the beginning and end of the Younger Dryas chronozone (YDC: 12,900–11,600 cal yr B.P.), when changes in ocean circulation rapidly cooled and then warmed the N...
متن کاملWould North American Paleoindians have Noticed Younger Dryas Age Climate Changes?
Paleoindian groups occupied North America throughout the Younger Dryas Chronozone. It is often assumed that cooling temperatures during this interval, and the impact these would have had on biotic communities, posed significant adaptive challenges to those groups. That assessment of the nature, severity and abruptness of Younger Dryas changes is largely based on ice core records from the Greenl...

متن کاملSynoptic climate change as a driver of late Quaternary glaciations in the mid-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere
The relative timing of late Quaternary glacial advances in mid-latitude (40–55 S) mountain belts of the Southern Hemisphere (SH) has become a critical focus in the debate on global climate teleconnections. On the basis of glacial data from New Zealand (NZ) and southern South America it has been argued that interhemispheric synchrony or asynchrony of Quaternary glacial events is due to Northern ...
متن کاملGlacial lake drainage in Patagonia (13-8 kyr) and response of the adjacent Pacific Ocean
Large freshwater lakes formed in North America and Europe during deglaciation following the Last Glacial Maximum. Rapid drainage of these lakes into the Oceans resulted in abrupt perturbations in climate, including the Younger Dryas and 8.2 kyr cooling events. In the mid-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere major glacial lakes also formed and drained during deglaciation but little is known abou...
