Abrupt cooling events in the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene
Švanda, Petr ; Vondrák, Daniel (advisor) ; Tichá, Anna (referee)
This bachelor thesis is prepared in the form of a literature review focused on abrupt cooling events in the Late Glacial Interstadial and the Early Holocene (14 700 to 8 200 cal. BP). The aim was to summarize the scientific knowledge on six such climate fluctuations and their causes and consequences. All of these events (GI-1d, GI-1c2, GI-1b, 11 400 event, 9 300 evenet, 8 200 event) lasted more than 50 years and are followed by cooling of more than 1 řC. Literature sources on this topic are based on interdisciplinary studies of various natural archives and the interpretation of so-called proxy data. For each climatic event, an assessment of its effects on ecosystems and human societies at the time was also made. The above findings are finally discussed in the context of the current climate change issues and the possible future of weakening the Atlantic Meridional Overturnig Circulation.
