Abstract:

Laguna Potrok Aike is a maar lake located in southernmost Argentina and is one of the few permanent lakes preserving a continuous climatic record from the semiarid Patagonian steppe. Furthermore, its location close to Antarctica provides a unique opportunity to compare paleoclimate from continental South America with the polar records. The analysis of subfossil chironomids and diatoms throughout a 16-m sedimentary record retrieved from this lake, combined with a well-constrained chronology of the last ca 16ka BP, provided a high resolution paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the limnology of the lake and regional climate conditions. The combination of both bioproxies showed humid conditions during the Lateglacial, followed by drier conditions during the Holocene, resulting in large variations in lake level. Despite not showing a clear evidence of a cold reversal similar to the Antarctic Cold Reversal and/or the Younger Dryas, both records suggest high water levels and oligotrophic conditions between 16.4 and 11.5 cal. ka BP. The lake level drop that occurred at ca 8.7ka BP is well documented by both bioproxies. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
