      • Reasons for recommending:
        This paper by Achim Brauer et al. uses German lake sediment cores to peg the onset of the Younger Dryas to a single year - 12,679 years ago, to be exact. I blogged about this one - and a recent Science paper that reaches a similar conclusion from Greenland ice cores - on Climate Feedback: http://blogs.nature.com/climatefeedback/2008/08/the_year_the_climate_changed.html
