abstract = {First results of strontium, calcium, carbon and oxygen
isotope analyses of bulk carbonates from a 106 m long
sediment record of Laguna Potrok Aike, located in southern
Patagonia are presented. Morphological and isotopic
investigations of μm-sized carbonate crystals in the
sediment reveal an endogenic origin for the entire Holocene.
During this time period the calcium carbonate record of
Laguna Potrok Aike turned out to be most likely
ikaite-derived. As ikaite precipitation in nature has only
been observed in a narrow temperature window between 0 and 7
°C, the respective carbonate oxygen isotope ratios serve as
a proxy of hydrological variations rather than of
palaeotemperatures. We suggest that oxygen isotope ratios
are sensitive to changes of the lake water balance induced
by intensity variations of the Southern Hemisphere
Westerlies and discuss the role of this wind belt as a
driver for climate change in southern South America. In
combination with other proxy records the evolution of
westerly wind intensities is reconstructed. Our data suggest
that weak SHW prevailed during the Lateglacial and the early
Holocene, interrupted by an interval with strengthened
Westerlies between 13.4 and 11.3 ka cal BP. Wind strength
increased at 9.2 ka cal BP and significantly intensified
until 7.0 ka cal BP. Subsequently, the wind intensity
diminished and stabilised to conditions similar to present
day after a period of reduced evaporation during the
“Little Ice Age”. Strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr ratio)
were identified as a potential lake-level indicator and
point to a lowering from overflow conditions during the
Glacial (∼17 ka cal BP) to lowest lake levels around 8 ka
cal BP. Thereafter the strontium isotope curve resembles the
lake-level curve which is stepwise rising until the
“Little Ice Age”. The variability of the Ca isotope
composition of the sediment reflects changes in the Ca
budget of the lake, indicating higher degrees of Ca
utilisation during the period with lowest lake level.},
