Climate change and extreme hydrological events on Lake Baikal during the last 250,000 years

On the basis of data on Greenland Gore GRIP Summit (Dansgaard et al. 1993) the reconstruction of extreme climatic and hydrological events in Lake Baikal during the last 250,000 year is discussed in this paper. The periodicity of climatic changes in Lake Baikal and in the North Atlantic are in good correlation. Therefore, the main glacial cycles and the last interstadials up during the period studied can be reconstructed. The reliability of the reconstruction on the temperature is verified by the comparison with T-air given by E.I.Ravsky (1972) for Upper Plaistocene of East Siberia, as well as by the analysis of Baikal sediments (Kuzmin et al., 1997; Grachev et al. 1997). The analysis such situations is a window in the future.
