Abstract

A high-resolution reconstruction of Caribbean climate is presented based on O-18/O-16 ratios in ostracod shells from Lake Miragoane, Haiti. The variations which are found can be largely explained by orbitally induced variations in seasonal insolation which modified the intensity of the annual cycle.
