Abstract
A high-resolution record of palaeohydrological changes from Late Younger Dryas to Mid-Holocene is reconstructed from palynological and sedimentological investigations of lacustrine infillings at the palaeolake Le Locle in the Swiss Jura. The Late Younger Dryas is characterized by a general trend towards a fall in lake-level and a large climatic instability. The Early to Mid-Holocene period shows two large lowering phases developing during the Preboreal and the first half of the Older Atlantic, Each of these phases was interrupted by a short-term rise in lake-level, and followed by a major and durable high lake-level event occurring during the Boreal and the second half of the Older Atlantic. This regional pattern of climatic changes presents similarities with climatic changes recorded both in western and central Europe and in the Atlantic ocean.
