That D-O interstades 23–21 were of longer duration than many of the later D-O events, coupled with the asymmetric shape of the D-O oxygen isotope curve, and the direct U-Th dating of the Goshute Cave stalagmites, allows for an improved understanding of the synchroneity of climatic changes between the western continental United States and the North Atlantic. Eastern Pacific–atmosphere interactions are a likely mechanism for transmission of millennial-scale climate variability into the Great Basin.
