International audienceReconstructions of Quaternary climate are often based on the isotopic content of paleo-precipitation preserved in proxy records. While many paleo-precipitation isotope records are available, few studies have synthesized these dispersed records to explore spatial patterns of late-glacial precipitation δ 18 O. Here we present a synthesis of 86 globally distributed groundwater (n = 59), cave calcite (n = 15) and ice core (n = 12) isotope records spanning the late-glacial (defined as ∼ 50 000 to ∼ 20 000 years ago) to the late-Holocene (within the past ∼ 5000 years). We show that precipitation δ 18 O changes from the late-glacial to the late-Holocene range from −7.1 ‰ (δ 18 O late-Holocene > δ 18 O late-glacial) to +1.7 ‰ (δ 18 O late-glacial > δ 18 O late-Holocene), with the majority (77 %) of records having lower late-glacial δ 18 O than late-Holocene δ 18 O values. High-magnitude, negative precipitation δ 18 O shifts are common at high latitudes, high altitudes and continental interiors (δ 18 O late-Holocene > δ 18 O late-glacial by more than 3 ‰). Conversely, low-magnitude, positive precipitation δ 18 O shifts are concentrated along tropical and subtropical coasts (δ 18 O late-glacial > δ 18 O late-Holocene by less than 2 ‰). Broad, global patterns of late-glacial to late-Holocene precipitation δ 18 O shifts suggest that stronger-than-modern isotopic distillation of air masses prevailed during the late-glacial, likely impacted by larger global temperature differences between the tropics and the poles. Further, to test how well general circulation models reproduce global precipitation δ 18 O shifts, we compiled simulated precipitation δ 18 O shifts from five isotope-enabled general circulation models simulated under recent and last glacial maximum climate states. Climate simulations generally show better inter-model and model-measurement agreement in temperate regions than in the tropics, highlighting a need for further research to better understand how inter-model spread in con-vective rainout, seawater δ 18 O and glacial topography pa-rameterizations impact simulated precipitation δ 18 O. Future research on paleo-precipitation δ 18 O records can use the global maps of measured and simulated late-glacial precipitation isotope compositions to target and prioritize field sites
