A 14 ka high-resolution δ18O lake record reveals a paradigm shift for the process-based reconstruction of hydroclimate on the northern Tibetan Plateau

This seesaw-like pattern with amplitudes of >10‰ in δ18Ocarb resembles fluctuations in cave records and variations between air and seawater (Dole effect). High correspondence with cooling events derived from North Atlantic drift ice and meltwater discharge indicate close ties to northern hemispheric climate transmitted by the MLW across the TP.
