Conclusions: Glacial-to-Holocene
-SDM displays mid- to high-latitude S. Pacific signal (ssNa)as well as Polar Plateau climate signal (nssCa)
-SDM ssNa shows rise from Early-Holocene most likely fromdominating role of ASL due to WAIS grounding line retreat inRoss Sea Embayment (Conway et al., 1999; Baroni & Hall, in review)
-ssNa reaches highest levels in most recent ~500 years, evenhigher than LGM concentrations in contrast to GISP, TD, DC

-Bipolar Synchronicity of Rapid Climate Change Events at:~6000-5000 yr BP~3000 yr BP~modern millenial (classic “LIA” time period)
Conclusions: Holocene

Conclusions: Late-Holocene
-Bi-Core Confirmation of Late-Holocene Event at Siple Dome--A-Core (this study)--1994-Core (Kreutz et al., Science, 1997)
-Bipolar Synchronicity of this modern millenial event
-Bipolar Onset Timing Differs (due to site location wrt hemispheric continents)
