TL;DR: The responses of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres differed significantly, which reveals how the evolution of specific ice sheets affected sea level and provides insight into how insolation controlled the deglaciation.

TL;DR: Based on the oxygen isotope signal in the GRIP Greenland ice core, a new event stratigraphy spanning the time interval from ca. 22.0 to 11.5 k GRIP yr BP (ca. 19.0-10.0 k 14 C yr BP) is proposed for the North Atlantic region as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A 150-year-long cooling in the early Preboreal, associated with rising Δ14C values, is evident in all records and indicates an ocean ventilation change, and box-model calculations suggest that they all may have been the result of increased freshwater forcing that inhibited the strength of the North Atlantic heat conveyor.

TL;DR: The Les Echets sediment sequence has recently been the subject of a high-resolution, multi-proxy study which revealed shifts in lake productivity linked to Greenland stadials and interstadials over the last 40 ka.

TL;DR: An event stratigraphy for the last termination, based on the stratotype of the GRIP ice-core record, has been outlined for the North Atlantic region in this paper, and it is suggested that such an approach to stratigraphic subdivision may be a more satisfactory alternative to conventional stratigraphical procedures for those parts of the recent Quaternary record that are characterised by rapid and/or short-term climatic #uctuations.
