Abstract
Isotopic and palynological data over the period 115,000 to 135,000 years ag o from a Lacustrine sequence in northwest Greece show distinct oscillations during the intervals Leading into and out of the full interglacial, wherea s in between, changes were Less pronounced but included a brief fluctuation . After peak interglacial conditions, temperatures decreased and precipitat ion increased in a series of steps. These data suggest that Eemian climate variability was similar to that of the Holocene both in terms of amplitude and, possibly, of pacing.
