Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-019-44231-1, published online 27 May 2019

This Article contains errors in the Results and Discussion sections as well as in Figure 3.

Firstly, in the Results section, under the subheading ‘Chronology’, where the last growth phase estimated from the time-depth model is incorrectly given as “between 13,602 ± 459 and 11,100 ± 598 yr BP”. The correct phase should read “between 13,633 ± 543 and 11,280 ± 821 yr BP”. Furthermore, the following sentence should be deleted: “The growth period between 13,602 ± 459 and 11,100 ± 598 yr BP records the Younger Dryas interval.”

Secondly, in the Discussion section, under the subheading ‘The Younger Dryas’, the following sentences should be deleted: “Although the rate of calcite deposition during this interval did slow somewhat, deposition was maintained during this stadial, and implies that permafrost and glaciation were largely absent. It is also interesting that isotope values follow the same trend as from the lake core collected on Baker Island—lower δ13C values during progressively colder time intervals.”

Finally, in Figure 3b the blue and red lines representing the El Capitan Cave speleothem EC-16-5-F carbon and oxygen isotope record are incorrect. The correct Figure 3 and accompanying legend appear below.

Figure 3.

(A) Timing of Marine Isotope Stages 5a to 145. (B) El Capitan Cave speleothem EC-16-5-F carbon and oxygen isotope record. Black bars show 2σ errors of the speleothem U-Th ages with corresponding sample numbers in Table 1. (C) NHSI (Northern Hemisphere summer insolation, 21 July) at 65°N35. (D) NGRIP oxygen isotope record30. (E) Color B* spectral analyses from core S0201-2-85KL12. Yellow vertical bars are used to highlight speleothem EC-16-5-F growth intervals.
