Global climate evolution during the last deglaciation

TL;DR: A major effort by the paleoclimate research community to characterize changes through the development of well-dated, high-resolution records of the deep and intermediate ocean as well as surface climate indicates that the superposition of two modes explains much of the variability in regional and global climate during the last deglaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable isotopes in deep-sea corals and a new mechanism for "vital effects"

TL;DR: In this article, a mechanism for vital effects in these deep-sea corals that is based on a thermodynamic response to a biologically induced pH gradient in the calcifying region is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The oxygen isotopic composition of seawater during the Last Glacial Maximum

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution oxygen and hydrogen isotope measurements were made on pore fluids from deep-sea sediments from sites in the North and South Atlantic to provide direct measurements of changes in the isotopic composition of bottom waters during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Millennial-scale trends in west Pacific warm pool hydrology since the Last Glacial Maximum

TL;DR: The results suggest that convection over the western tropical Pacific weakened 18,000–20,000 years ago, as tropical Pacific and Antarctic temperatures began to rise during the early stages of deglaciation, and that the tropical Pacific hydrological cycle may have a central role in abrupt climate change events.
