Unraveling the sequence of events and feedbacks at Termination III (T-III), including potential abrupt climate reversals similar to those of the last Termination, has been particularly challenging due to the scarcity of well-dated records worldwide. Here, we present speleothem data from southern Europe covering the interval from 262.7 to 217.9 kyBP, including the transition from marine isotope stage (MIS) 8 to MIS 7e. High-resolution d13C, d18O, and Mg/Ca profiles reveal major millennial-scale changes in aridity manifested in changing water availability and vegetation productivity. uranium-thorium dates provide a solid chronology for two millennial-scale events (S8.1 and S8.2) which, compared with the last two terminations, has some common features with Heinrich 1 and Heinrich 2 in Termination I (T-I). #-------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Diputación General de Aragón (DGA) # Grant: Predoctoral grant #-------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: Spanish Ministerio de Economía # Grant: CGL2016-77479-R, CTM2013-48639-C2-2-R #-------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: US National Science Foundation # Grant: AGS 1702816 #-------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Ejulve Cave # Location: Spain # Northernmost_Latitude: 40.7594 # Southernmost_Latitude: 40.7594 # Easternmost_Longitude: -0.5853 # Westernmost_Longitude: -0.5853 # Elevation_m: 1240 #-------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: Ejulve2017ARTEMIS # First_Year: 257426 # Last_Year: 218976 # Time_Unit: calendar year before present # Core_Length_m: 0.350 # Parameter_Keywords: geochemistry, oxygen isotopes, carbon isotopes # Notes: #-------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: Uranium-Thorium # Chronology_Download_Resource: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/templates/noaa-wds-paleo-uth-terms.csv # Chronology_Download_Description: Uranium-Thorium terms and definitions. # Chronology_Notes: see Appendix http://www.pnas.org/content/114/38/10047/tab-figures-data.
