Networks of the late Quaternary

Abstract

In den letzten Jahren erfreuen sich komplexe Netzwerke einer zunehmenden Beliebtheit, um Zusammenhänge und Strukturen in hoch-dimensionalen Datensätzen zu analysieren. Im Unterschied zu vielen anderen Forschungsgebieten wurden sie jedoch selten auf Paläoklima-Daten angewandt, obwohl die steigende Anzahl an veröffentlichen Zeitreihen die Nutzung effizienter Methoden multivariater Analyse ermöglicht. Die Resultate der wenigen Studien, in denen Netzwerkmethoden und Paläoklima-Daten kombiniert wurden, sind außerdem geprägt von niedriger Robustheit und hohen Unsicherheiten. Dies steht im Zusammenhang zu der niedrigen Anzahl und Auflösung der Zeitreihen als auch den Unsicherheiten, die den meisten Paläoklima-Rekonstruktionen zu eigen sind. In dieser Doktorarbeit schlage ich verschiedene Wege vor, um diese Probleme zu überwinden, indem verlässlichere, quantitative Resultate ermöglicht werden, unter anderem indem die Datenunsicherheiten explizit in die Analyse mit einbezogen werden. Zu diesem Zweck präsentiere ich vier Fallstudien mit einem Fokus auf zwei Zeiträume, das späte Holozän (die letzten zweitausend Jahre) und den Übergang von der letzten Kaltzeit zur aktuellen Warmzeit, die letzte glaziale Termination. Alle diese Studien legen einen räumlichen Fokus auf den Nordatlantik, eine Schlüsselregion globaler Klimavariabilität. Ich beschränke mich hierbei auf zwei Methoden, eine der netzwerkbasierten Zeitreihenanalyse, Sichtbarkeitsgraphen genannt, und eine der räumlichen Analyse, sogenannte Klimanetzwerke. Neben Erweiterungen von existierende Methoden, schlage ich auch neue Wege vor, um verlässliche Resultate auch für Zeitreihen mit hohen Unsicherheiten zu erhalten. Diese Fallstudien demonstrieren, dass Netzwerkmethoden auch für die Analyse von Paläoklima-Daten nützlich sein können. Sie sind daher ein weiterer Schritt hin zu einer künftigen Anwendung durch eine größere Anzahl an Forschenden.

In recent years, complex networks have become an increasingly popular tool to analyse relationships and structures in high-dimensional data sets in a variety of research fields. They have, however, rarely been applied to paleoclimate data sets, even though the growing number of published records demands efficient tools of multivariate analysis. The few published results that combine network methods and paleoclimate proxies are often not robust or have high uncertainty levels, linked tothe low dimensionality, resolution and the large uncertainties of most particulate time series. In this thesis, I propose several ways to overcome these issues in order to obtain reliable and quantitative results from network based tools by taking the particularities of paleoclimate data into account. For this purpose, I present four case studies, focusing on two time periods, the late Holocene (last two millennia) and the transition from the last ice age to the recent warm period, the last deglaciation. These studies are all related to the North Atlantic, a key region in multi-decadal to millennial scale climate variability. I primarily use two methods, one of network based time series analysis named visibility graphs and one of spatial analysis, so called limate networks. I have both further developed existing methods, but also propose new ways to yield reliable results when dealing with highly uncertain paleoclimate data. The case studies demonstrate the usefulness of network based data analysis to study patterns of regional climate variability. Hence, this work is another step in bringing network based approaches to a larger audience and towards a wider application of these methods.
