Abstract 

Throughout the Last Glacial period, widespread deposition of Ice Rafted Debris (IRD) marks phases of North Atlantic ice sheet instability during cold Stadial conditions. The causes for these so-called Heinrich Events (HEs) remain debated: while initially attributed to internal ice sheet dynamics, there is mounting evidence for an external ocean-climate forcing. In the latter scenario, ice rafting is thought to be driven by basal melt from a build-up of sub-surface heat in response to weakening ocean circulation. However, coeval shifts from perennial to seasonal sea ice conditions suggest that some heat may have escaped to the surface. We strengthen this notion, by presenting biomarker-based evidence for atmospheric warming from a unique Last Glacial Maximum (30-20 ka BP) lake sediment sequence from High Arctic Svalbard. Alkenone-derived changes in temperature (UK37) and hydroclimate (δD) indicate a rapid shift towards warmer surface conditions and more locally sourced precipitation at the onset of HE 2. These findings are supported by XRF evidence for lake water stratification and a shift towards n-alkane distributions indicative of less arid conditions. In conclusion, our data suggests that climate-forced Arctic ice sheet instability during HEs was triggered from below as well as above.
