Short summary
The Holocene is marked at 8.2 ka by a North Atlantic freshening event. We investigate its climatic impact in SW France using high-resolution speleothem multiproxy analysis. While the event is seen in some European records, no clear signal appears in SW France. This may reflect either limited regional impact, and/or low speleothem sensitivity to this North Atlantic event, possibly masked by Mediterranean influences.
