Discovery of Laacher See eruption in speleothem record synchronizes Greenland and central European Late Glacial climate change
A volcanic sulfur spike links the Laacher See eruption to Greenland ice cores and synchronizes the timelines to European records.

Excited to share our latest research published in @science.org #ScienceAdvances! 🎉
We've discovered the Laacher See eruption 🌋 in a speleothem from Germany, which allows to synchronize European and Greenland Late Glacial climate change.

With the threats being levied against NOAA, I felt it was time to download all the sediment core and paleoceanography data being stored on NOAA's NCEI, just in case. I have uploaded the script to Github, just in case anyone wants to do the same! 🧪 ⚒️ 🦣 🌊

For #speleothem experts: We use trace elements (Mg/Ca) to derive semi-quantitative cool season precipitation amount and combine that with stable isotopes 💪. The result shows: dynamic - (not thermodynamic) processes determine precipitation variability.
