Summary: Multi-proxy data from an Italian stalagmite constrain the commencement of full
Last Interglacial conditions in southern Europe at 129 ± 1 ka, consistent with
absolutely dated records currently available from both hemispheres.
The post-glacial transition towards warmer and wetter conditions commenced at
134 ± 2 ka. Oxygen isotope evidence suggests this was interrupted briefly at
130 ± 2 ka, an event probably related to the 'Termination II pause' associated
with Heinrich Event 11. For most of the stalagmite, the pattern of d18O variation
mimics the air temperature record from the Vostok ice core, especially through
marine isotope stage 5. There is no obvious evidence for substantial
'early interglacial' warming.
