Short summary
A new 1500-year-long sediment record made of annual laminations (varves) from Grand Lake, Labrador, reveals past hydroclimatic conditions. The Medieval Climate Anomaly (~1050–1225 CE) had thicker varves indicating more precipitation, while the Little Ice Age (1400–1875 CE) had thinner varves, suggesting a dryer climate. Teleconnections show that Grand Lake is influenced by winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), hence making this record a promising candidate for future NAO reconstructions.
