During the period of instrumental records, North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has strongly influenced inter-annual precipitation variations in western Mediterranean, while some eastern parts basin have shown an anti-phase relationship and atmospheric pressure. Here we explore how NAO other circulation modes operated over longer timescales Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) Little Ice Age (LIA). High-resolution palaeolimnological evidence from opposite ends Mediterranean basin, supplemented by...
Abstract A sedimentological and geochemical study of the Lago Enol sequence (Cantabrian Mountains, northern Spain), together with detailed geomorphological mapping, provides a first record glacier evolution climate change over last 40 ka in Picos de Europa National Park. The retreated from its maximum extent prior to BP as demonstrated by onset proglacial lacustrine sedimentation two glaciated depressions: Comella hollow north (before BP) 38 BP). These results support previous evidence that...
Abstract The Central Ebro River Basin (NE Spain) is the most northern area of truly semi-arid Mediterranean climate in Europe and prehistoric human occupation there has been strongly influenced by this extreme environmental condition. Modern conditions single out region due to harsh environment, characterised highest absolute summer temperatures Basin. Bajo Aragón (SE Basin) was intensively populated during Early Holocene (9400–8200 cal yr BP) but settlements were abandoned abruptly at...
Abstract The karstic Lake Montcortès sedimentary sequence spanning the last 1548 yr constitutes first continuous, high-resolution, multi-proxy varved record in northern Spain. Sediments consist of biogenic varves composed calcite, organic matter and detrital laminae turbidite layers. Calcite layer thickness internal sub-layering indicate changes water temperature seasonality whereas frequency layers reflects rainfall variability. Higher temperatures occurred AD 555–738, 825–875, 1010–1322...
Abstract. This paper reviews multi-proxy paleoclimatic reconstructions with robust age-control derived from lacustrine, dendrochronological and geomorphological records characterizes the main environmental changes that occurred in Southern Pyrenees during last millennium. Warmer relatively arid conditions prevailed Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA, ca. 900–1300 AD), a significant development of xerophytes Mediterranean vegetation limited deciduous tree formations (mesophytes). The Little Ice...
