The Greenland ice core from North GRIP (NGRIP) contains a proxy climate record across the Pleistocene– Holocene boundary of unprecedented clarity and resolution. Analysis of an array of physical and chemical parameters within the ice enables the base of the Holocene, as reflected in the first signs of climatic warming at the end of the Younger Dryas/Greenland Stadial 1 cold phase, to be located with a high degree of precision.
I am studying the Pleistocene/Holocene boundary worldwide.

Thank you, Syed, for access to the article by Van der Plujm. It makes for interesting reading.
with kind regards,

David,
I think you should read following paper. On page 12, there are some (selected) global auxiliary stratotypes based on lake sedimentary records.

Dear Tomas,
This is exactly what I was seeking; namely sedimentary records to support the ice core GSSP for the base of the Holocene.
Thank you for your help.
best wishes
David
