The 8.2 ka event was the last deglacial abrupt climate event. A reduction in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) attributed to the drainage of glacial Lake Agassiz may have caused the event, but the freshwater signature of Lake Agassiz discharge has yet to be identified in δ¹⁸O of foraminiferal...

Early Holocene summer warmth drove dramatic Greenland ice sheet (GIS) retreat. Subsequent
insolation-driven cooling caused GIS margin readvance to late Holocene maxima, from which ice margins
are now retreating. We use ¹⁰Be surface exposure ages from four locations between 69.4°N and 61.2°N to
date when in the early Holocene south...
