Abrupt onset and termination of the African Humid Period:rapid climate responses to gradual insolation forcing

TL;DR: A detailed (ca. 100 yr resolution) and well-dated (18 AMS ^(14)C dates to 23 cal. ka BP) record of latest Pleistocene-Holocene variations in terrigenous (eolian) sediment deposition at ODP Site 658C off Cap Blanc, Mauritania documents very abrupt, large-scale changes in subtropical North African climate as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

13 C- 18 O bonds in carbonate minerals: A new kind of paleothermometer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a carbonate-water paleothermometer, which is a thermodynamic-based approach to carbonate paleometric analysis. But it is not suitable for interpolation and even modest extrapolation, and it is rigorously independent of the d 18 O of water and d 13 C of DIC from which carbonate grew.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Salinity, Temperature, and δ18O of the Glacial Deep Ocean

TL;DR: In this paper, pore fluid measurements of the chloride concentration and the oxygen isotopic composition from Ocean Drilling Program cores were used to reconstruct salinity and temperature of the deep ocean during the last glacial maximum (LGM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid sea-level fall and deep-ocean temperature change since the last interglacial period

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used both 230 Th and 231 Pa dating techniques as a test of age accuracy to date Huon Peninsula, Papua New Guinea and Barbados corals formed at times since the Last Interglacial Period.
