Abstract

In summary, we are not convinced by the arguments of Garcin [2008] that either our interpretation of elevated Zr:Ti or biogenic silica during the Younger Dryas (southward shift of the ITCZ causing more prevalent northerly winds over the north basin of the lake) is in error, or that a similar mechanism was not at work during Greenland stadials in MIS-3.
