摘要：<sup>18</sup>0/<sup>16</sup>0 isotope analyses on carbonate lake Sediments from
Central Europe exhibit abrupt, characteristic variations reflecting
temperature changes. Between 13,000 and 11,000
years before present, a more or less continuous warm period
(Bölling-Alleröd) existed separated from the Postglacial by
the Younger Dryas cold phase. Results from 25 Sites in Central Europe, especially the forelands ot the Alps indicate, with
the exception of 3 Sites south of the Alps, a synchronous
large-scale climatic development. Indirect dating and stratigraphic correlation of the different records was mostly performed
by means of pollen analysis. Our results correlate very
well with <sup>18</sup>0/<sup>16</sup>0 measurements on Greenland ice cores, and
they agree well with results from deep sea sediment studies
in the North Atlantic Ocean covering the Glacial-Postglacial
transition.
