El registro de alta resolución de la variabilidad climática y ambiental del Lago de Enol (Picos de Europa) desde la última deglaciación

Abstract

The identification and description of abrupt climate changes since last deglaciation in the northern Iberian Peninsula and the understanding of the potential forcing mechanisms requires the study of long, well-dated sequences that allow high-resolution reconstruction of past climate changes. We present here the first results from Lago de Enol sedimentary sequence in the Picos de Europa range covering the last 35,000 years. Sedimentological evidences, together with physical properties and XRF core scanner data, point to glacier re-advances during the LGM and the YD periods. Additionally, we confirm the early deglaciation timing for this region compared to other areas in northern Europe.
