Abstract
Pollen data from lake sediment cores are a major source of paleoclimate information, and databases of pollen diagrams are publically available. The databases are extensive enough that continental-scale maps of Holocene climate variability can be made for Europe and North America. Maps show reasonable synoptic climate patterns and time series illustrate the nature of Holocene climate variability. There is also synchronicity between Europe, North American and North Atlantic millennial-scale climate variability. In addition to paleoclimate reconstructions, these databases are used for other paleoenvironmental analyses, including analysis of carbon dynamics in ecosystems through time.
