Thanks! Speleothems are not the ideal archive for this, but @palaeostefan.bsky.social has done some great work on this, e.g. ➡️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
High-resolution palynological evidence for vegetation response to the Laacher See eruption from the varved record of Meerfelder Maar (Germany) and other central European records
The Laacher See eruption (LSE) was one of the larger Plinian eruptions of the late Quaternary in Europe. Distal tephra deposits of the LSE are found i…

Key findings:
➡️ The Younger Dryas cooling started c. 150 years after the eruption
➡️ Climate change propagated rapidly from the North Atlantic to central Europe
➡️ Precise chronologies are so important for understanding past climate events and their relevance to current climate change!

This is a team effort with my great colleagues from
@uniheidelberg.bsky.social and @unimainz.bsky.social
We discovered the LSE as sulfur spike in the speleothem. Absolute Th/U dating links the speleothem record with ice cores. As a result, we've precisely dated the LSE to 13,008 ± 8 years ago!
